2 inch x 2 inch x 1-1/2 inch Black Malleable Iron Reducing Tee – Class 150, Threaded Fittings

The 2 inch x 2 inch x 1-1/2 inch Black Malleable Iron Reducing Tee is a three-outlet threaded fitting designed for branching or reducing pipe systems in mechanical, gas, steam, or air distribution networks. Manufactured in accordance with ASTM A197 and ASME B16.3 standards, this tee features NPT female threads on all three outlets and is classified for Class 150 applications.

This reducing tee provides a durable and corrosion-resistant solution for directional changes and diameter transitions in black iron piping systems. The 90-degree branch outlet allows for effective system layout flexibility and integration with existing threaded components.

Technical Specifications

• Material: Black malleable iron (ASTM A197)
• Nominal Sizes: 2 inch x 2 inch x 1-1/2 inch
• Connection Type: Female NPT (ANSI B1.20.1) on all outlets
• Pressure Class: 150 PSI (non-shock service)
• Manufacturing Standard: ASME B16.3
• Design: Reducing branch outlet for size transition

Application Areas

This tee fitting is commonly installed in piping systems that transport non-potable water, gas, steam, oil, or compressed air. It is suitable for:

• ✅ Fuel gas distribution (natural gas or propane)
• ✅ Steam and low-pressure heating lines
• ✅ Compressed air systems
• ✅ Process piping in commercial and industrial facilities

Installation Guidelines

Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads prior to installation. Use pipe wrenches and ensure proper torque to prevent thread distortion. All threaded joints should be pressure-tested per code before system commissioning. Do not use this fitting for welding or in pressurized potable water systems unless otherwise specified by local code or certification.

Performance Characteristics

• ✅ Pressure-Rated: Designed for non-shock working pressure up to 150 PSI
• ✅ Dimensional Accuracy: Tapered threads ensure leak-resistant connections and mechanical integrity
• ✅ Thermal and Mechanical Stability: Suitable for elevated temperatures and high mechanical load environments
• ✅ Versatile Configuration: Reducing branch supports transitions between different pipe sizes

Code and Compliance

This fitting complies with ASME and ANSI dimensional and pressure standards for Class 150 threaded malleable iron fittings. Confirm installation per applicable codes such as NFPA 54 (fuel gas) and the International Mechanical Code (IMC).

The 2 inch x 2 inch x 1-1/2 inch Black Malleable Iron Reducing Tee is a durable and reliable fitting for mechanical and fuel gas piping systems. Its robust construction, certified dimensions, and pressure rating make it a preferred choice for contractors requiring consistent performance in threaded black iron systems.
