Value Collection B165 15 45 Degree Y-branch 1/2 in Threaded

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B165 15 is a 45-degree lateral Y-branch pipe fitting designed for threaded pipe installations in gas and liquid distribution systems. Constructed from malleable iron with a black finish, it meets Class 150 pressure requirements and carries a 300 psi liquid and gas pressure rating. The wye configuration directs flow at a 45-degree lateral angle, reducing turbulence compared to a straight tee. This fitting is sized at 1/2 inch and is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors in both commercial and industrial piping systems.

This fitting is suited for use in residential and light commercial piping systems where a threaded lateral branch connection is required. The 45-degree wye geometry is commonly specified in gas distribution, fire protection, and general fluid handling applications. It is packaged as a single unit and sold individually, making it appropriate for repair, replacement, or low-volume new construction work requiring a single fitting.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local mechanical and plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque threaded connections, and verify system pressure integrity after installation before returning the line to service.
