Value Collection B130R 40X20 Black Reducer Tee Npt Class 150

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B130R 40X20 is a black malleable iron reducer tee fitting designed for threaded pipe assemblies in gas and liquid distribution systems. It accepts NPT threaded connections and is rated at 300 psi for both liquid and gas service. The Class 150 designation confirms its suitability for standard-pressure piping runs. The black finish is achieved through a standard black-oxide coating process typical of malleable iron fittings used in gas distribution and industrial plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting when a branch reduction is needed within a threaded iron pipe system.

This reducer tee is suited for residential and commercial piping systems where a 3/4-inch branch outlet is required off a 1-1/2-inch main run. Common applications include natural gas distribution, steam, air, and water lines where malleable iron threaded fittings are specified. The fitting ships individually and is appropriate for new construction, retrofit, and repair work on threaded black iron pipe systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before disassembling any threaded connections. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before making up threaded joints. Do not overtighten malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive torque.
