Value Collection HB-TEE05 1/2 in Black Malleable Iron Tee

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HB-TEE05 is a black malleable iron tee fitting designed for threaded pipe assemblies in gas and liquid distribution systems. Built to Class 300 standards, this fitting carries a pressure rating of 1500 psi, making it suitable for demanding service conditions. The black iron finish is standard for gas piping applications. The tee configuration allows a branch connection off a main run, a common requirement in both supply and distribution line work. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This fitting is sized at 1/2 inch and is intended for threaded pipe connections in residential and light commercial piping systems. Typical applications include natural gas supply lines, propane distribution, compressed air, and compatible liquid service where malleable iron fittings are specified. The Class 300 rating and 1500 psi pressure capacity make it appropriate for higher-pressure branch line installations where standard Class 150 fittings are not specified.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction with black finish suited for gas piping service
• Class 300 rated at 1500 psi liquid and gas pressure
• 1/2 inch threaded end connections for standard NPT pipe assembly
• Tee configuration enables in-line branch connections on distribution runs
• Durable black iron finish resistant to typical pipe dope and thread sealant compounds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/2 inch threaded malleable iron pipe systems where Class 300 tee fittings are required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes, including the IFGC for gas service or the IPC for water and liquid service. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly, and tighten to hand-snug plus wrench-tight without over-torquing malleable iron threads. Pressure-test the completed assembly before returning the system to service.
