Value Collection B165 20 45-degree Y-branch 3/4 in Threaded

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B165 20 is a 45-degree lateral Y-branch pipe fitting designed for threaded pipe assemblies in gas and liquid distribution systems. Manufactured from malleable iron with a black finish, this Class 150 wye fitting handles liquid and gas pressure ratings up to 300 psi. The 3/4-inch threaded connections conform to ISO 7/1 and GB/T 7306.2 thread standards, making it suitable for a wide range of plumbing, fire protection, and industrial piping applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and fire protection contractors are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial piping systems where a 45-degree branch connection is required off a main run. Typical applications include gas distribution lines, water supply systems, and sprinkler or fire suppression piping. The black malleable iron construction is standard for gas piping and compressed-air distribution. The threaded end connections allow for straightforward assembly with standard pipe wrenches and thread sealant. The fitting ships in a package quantity of one.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) as appropriate. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before making or breaking any threaded connections. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly; do not over-tighten, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive torque. Verify pressure rating compatibility with the operating system before placing into service.
