  • UL Listed and FM Approved for fire-protection and potable-water applications

Galvanized Reducing Tee for Pipe Systems

This galvanized malleable iron reducing tee connects three pipes at 1-1/2", 1-1/2", and 1/2" using FNPT threads. It meets ASTM A-197, ASTM A47, ASME B16.3 and B16.4 standards for plumbing installations. The fitting carries UL Listed, FM Approved, NSF-61 and AB1953 certifications for potable water use. It suits residential and commercial pipe networks requiring a branch connection.

Pressure Rating and Temperature Limits

The Class 150 fitting handles a maximum pressure of 300 psi at 150 degrees Fahrenheit WOG. Saturated steam pressure is rated at 150 psi for heating applications. Galvanized coating protects the iron body from corrosion in normal water supply conditions. These ratings define the safe operating envelope for the installed fitting.

Standards Compliance and Approvals

UL Listing and FM Approval confirm the tee meets safety requirements for fire protection and general plumbing. NSF-61 and AB1953 listings verify the material is safe for drinking water contact. Compliance with ASTM and ASME standards ensures dimensional accuracy and thread compatibility. No additional accessories or software are included with this fitting.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" x 1/2" FNPT galvanized reducing tee, and what step is often done incorrectly?

Apply pipe-thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads, then thread into the female NPT ports; the common error is over-tightening, which can crack the Class 150 malleable-iron body.

What maintenance or replacement will the galvanized reducing tee need over time?

Inspect the galvanized coating periodically for white rust or scaling; if corrosion penetrates the malleable iron or threads leak, replace the fitting — no internal serviceable parts exist.

What is the first pressure limit reached under sustained hot-water use?

The saturated-steam rating of 150 psi is reached before the 300 psi WOG limit when temperatures approach 150 °F.
