Value Collection B165 40 45 Degree Y-branch 1-1/2 in Threaded

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B165 40 is a 45-degree lateral Y-branch pipe fitting designed for threaded piping systems carrying liquids or gases. Machined from malleable iron with a black finish, this Class 150 wye fitting is rated to 300 psi and meets multiple industry standards including FM Approval, cULus Listing, GB/T 7306.2, and ISO 7/1. It is sized at 1-1/2 inches with threaded end connections on all ports. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting when a lateral branch connection at a 45-degree angle is required in a low-pressure piping assembly.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications where a threaded malleable iron wye connection is specified. Common installation scenarios include fire protection piping, industrial process lines, and mechanical room distribution headers. Its Class 150 rating and FM Approval make it appropriate for fire-suppression system branch connections where listed components are required by code. The black finish provides corrosion resistance consistent with standard black-iron piping practice.

Key Features

• 300 psi pressure rating suitable for Class 150 service
• FM Approved and cULus Listed for use in fire protection and other listed-component applications
• Meets GB/T 7306.2 and ISO 7/1 threaded fitting standards
• Threaded end connections on all ports for straightforward field assembly

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-1/2 inch threaded malleable iron piping systems operating within Class 150 pressure parameters.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes, including IPC and IFGC references where gas service applies. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before cutting into any existing line or removing existing fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly, and verify joint integrity before returning the system to service. Do not exceed the rated pressure for this fitting class.
