2 Inch x 2 Inch x 3/4 Inch Carbon Steel Press Reducing Tee – Gas Rated
This carbon steel reducing tee is engineered for use in gas distribution systems requiring reliable mechanical connections. Designed with press x press x press outlets, it transitions from 2-inch main lines to 3/4-inch branches with precision, offering an efficient solution for line downsizing in confined or high-demand applications.
Key Technical Features
Material: ASTM A420 carbon steel
Sizes: 2 in x 2 in x 3/4 in nominal pipe size
Connection: Press x Press x Press (suitable for use with standard carbon steel piping)
Seal Element: Pre-installed HNBR (Hydrogenated Nitrile Butadiene Rubber) for gas-specific sealing
Pressure Rating: Up to 200 psi for natural gas and fuel gas applications
Temperature Rating: -40°F to 180°F
Compliance: Meets ASTM F3226 and IAPMO/UPC certification for fuel gas press fittings
Advantages for Professional Use
Time-Saving Installation: Eliminates threading, soldering, or welding—reducing install time significantly on retrofit or new construction projects
High Durability: Engineered for longevity under fluctuating pressure and temperature conditions common in gas service environments
System Compatibility: Interfaces with Schedule 10-40 carbon steel pipe in fuel gas systems
Installation Guidelines
This press tee is compatible with most standard pressing tools using approved jaws for carbon steel profiles. Ensure pipe ends are clean, deburred, and inserted fully to the press stop. Visual and mechanical verification of press completion is recommended before system commissioning. HNBR seals are intended for use in fuel gas only and should not be substituted in water or chemical systems.
Applications
Natural gas and propane distribution lines
Commercial kitchens and boiler rooms
Multi-family residential systems
Retrofit projects in buildings where hot work is restricted
Important Considerations
Do not use this fitting in potable water systems. Avoid exposure to incompatible chemicals or high-heat environments exceeding its rated temperature. Always verify local jurisdictional acceptance before use.
