Value Collection B165 80 3 in Malleable Iron 45 Y-branch Class 150

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B165 80 is a 3-inch Class 150 malleable iron black pipe 45-degree lateral Y-branch fitting designed for threaded pipe assemblies in commercial and industrial piping systems. Built from malleable iron with a black finish, this wye fitting connects branch lines at a 45-degree angle to a main run, allowing controlled flow diversion without sharp directional changes. It is rated at 300 psi and uses NPT threaded end connections for straightforward assembly into standard threaded pipe networks. Pipefitters and plumbers working on black iron piping systems will find this fitting compatible with common trade installation practices.

This fitting is suited for use in black iron pipe systems where a lateral branch connection is required, including steam distribution, gas piping, fire suppression, and industrial fluid conveyance applications. The 45-degree lateral angle reduces turbulence compared to a standard 90-degree tee, making it useful in systems where flow efficiency matters. The threaded NPT connections allow assembly without welding or specialized tooling, supporting faster installation in both new construction and retrofit work.

• Malleable iron construction with black finish for durability in black iron pipe systems
• NPT threaded end connections for tool-free welding-free assembly
• Meets multiple standards including FM Approved and cULus Listed
• 3-inch fitting size compatible with standard Schedule 40 black iron pipe

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit component for Class 150 malleable iron threaded black pipe systems using 3-inch NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or plumber in accordance with applicable local mechanical and plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before beginning any fitting replacement or new installation work. Use appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape on all NPT threads and tighten with pipe wrenches to achieve a leak-free connection. Do not over-torque malleable iron fittings, as cracking can occur.
