Value Collection B165 10 Malleable Iron 45 Y-branch 3/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B165 10 is a 3/8-inch Class 150 malleable iron black pipe fitting designed for use as a 45-degree lateral Y-branch in threaded piping systems. It connects three pipe runs at a 45-degree lateral angle, allowing flow to be split or merged in low-pressure gas, steam, and liquid piping applications. The fitting is manufactured from malleable iron with a black finish and uses NPT threaded end connections for a secure, leak-resistant joint. Rated at 300 psi, it is suited for commercial and industrial piping installations where durable iron fittings are required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary trades that install this type of fitting.

This fitting is intended for use in threaded black iron pipe systems typically found in commercial and residential gas distribution, steam lines, and general plumbing service. The 3/8-inch size makes it appropriate for branch connections on smaller-diameter runs in these systems. It meets multiple standards including FM Approved, cULus Listed, GB/T 7306.2, and ISO 7/1, making it suitable for code-compliant installations across a range of project types. It is sold individually and is compatible with standard NPT-threaded Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 black iron pipe and fittings of the same size class.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for 3/8-inch Class 150 NPT threaded black iron pipe systems. Consult applicable code and system documentation to confirm fitment before installation.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable code requirements, including IFGC and IPC where relevant. Shut off all gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line completely before disassembling any threaded connection. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium to all NPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive torque.
