Value Collection B130R 40X15 Black Iron Reducer Tee Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B130R 40X15 is a black malleable iron reducer tee fitting designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, gas distribution, and industrial piping systems. It transitions from a 1-1/2-inch run to a 1/2-inch branch outlet using standard NPT threads, making it a reliable choice for reducing branch connections without additional adapter fittings. Rated at 300 psi and classified as Class 150, this fitting handles both liquid and gas service. The black finish is standard for gas and industrial applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This reducer tee is suited for residential and light commercial gas piping, fire protection rough-in, compressed air lines, and water distribution systems where a threaded branch reduction is required. The 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 x 1/2-inch configuration is a common size in branch takeoff scenarios where a main run continues at full size while a reduced outlet feeds a downstream fixture or appliance. It is sold individually and meets multiple international and domestic standards, confirming broad application acceptance.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC or IPC requirements for the intended service. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before disassembling or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly, and tighten to the fitting manufacturer's standard for malleable iron to avoid over-stressing the threads. Do not use this fitting beyond its rated pressure for the intended service medium.
