TSP 1-1/4″ Black Malleable Iron Reducing Tee Pipe Fitting

The TSP 1-1/4″ Black Malleable Iron Reducing Tee Pipe Fitting is a durable and versatile component designed for connecting three pipes of varying diameters at a 90-degree angle. This fitting is ideal for applications in gas, oil, steam, and air systems, providing a reliable solution for branching pipelines.

Key Features

• Material: Constructed from black malleable cast iron, offering high tensile strength and impact resistance.
• Size: 1-1/4″ x 1-1/4″ x 1″ nominal pipe size, accommodating different pipe diameters for versatile system integration.
• Connection Type: Female National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads on all three ends, ensuring a secure and leak-resistant connection.
• Pressure Rating: Suitable for 150 PSI for steam/air and 300 PSI for water/oil (non-shock) applications.
• Temperature Range: Operates effectively within a temperature range of -20°F to 550°F, making it suitable for various industrial environments.
• Standards Compliance: Manufactured in accordance with ASTM A-197, ASTM A47, ASME B16.3, and B16.4 standards, ensuring quality and reliability.

Applications

This reducing tee is commonly used in:

• Natural gas and propane distribution systems
• Steam and return loops (non-potable)
• HVAC air handling lines
• Compressed air and lubricant delivery piping
• Industrial oil distribution

Installation Guidelines

For optimal performance:

• Ensure threads are clean and free from contaminants before installation.
• Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape compatible with the system media to achieve a pressure-tight seal.
• Avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to threads or fittings.
• Use properly sized pipe wrenches during installation.

Additional Considerations

Black malleable iron fittings are intended for non-potable systems and should be used in low-moisture environments to prevent corrosion. For potable water systems, consider using galvanized or approved materials. Always verify with the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) before installation to ensure compliance with local codes and regulations.

The TSP 1-1/4″ Black Malleable Iron Reducing Tee Pipe Fitting is a reliable and industry-standard component, suitable for professionals working in gas, steam, and mechanical piping environments. Its robust construction and compliance with industry standards make it a dependable choice for various industrial applications.
