Description
125# Flanged Reducing Tee
125# Flanged Reducing Tees are designed to create a 90-degree branch connection while transitioning the branch to a smaller nominal pipe size in compatible flanged piping systems.
Manufactured from grey iron castings conforming to ASTM A126 and ASTM A48, these reducing tees combine branch flow distribution and pipe-size transition within a single fitting. Flanged fitting dimensions conform to ASME B16.1 and ANSI/AWWA C110/A21.10, and Class 125 fittings are UL Listed through 12".

Reducing Tee Configuration
Straight-Through Run
Two opposing flanged openings form the main straight-through piping path.
Reduced 90° Branch
The third flanged opening creates a perpendicular branch connection at a smaller nominal pipe size.
Three Flanged Connections
All three openings connect to compatible mating flanges using the appropriate gaskets and fasteners.
Construction Details
These 125# flanged reducing tees are manufactured from grey iron castings conforming to ASTM A126 and ASTM A48.
Flanged fitting dimensions conform to ASME B16.1 and ANSI/AWWA C110/A21.10. The reducing tee configuration allows a smaller branch line to connect directly to the main piping run without requiring a separate branch reducer.
Why Choose a 125# Flanged Reducing Tee?
Branch & Size Transition in One Fitting
- Creates a 90-degree branch connection
- Transitions to a smaller branch size
- Can reduce the need for a separate reducer
- Flanged connections on all three openings
- Compact three-way piping configuration
Grey Iron Construction
- Grey iron castings
- Conforms to ASTM A126 and ASTM A48
- Dimensions conform to ASME B16.1
- Also references ANSI/AWWA C110/A21.10
- Manufactured in an ISO-certified facility
Reducing Tee vs. Straight Tee
Reducing Tee
A reducing tee uses a smaller nominal branch connection than the main run, combining flow distribution and size transition within one fitting.
Straight Tee
A straight tee maintains the same nominal pipe size across the main run and branch connection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 125# flanged reducing tee?
It is a grey iron three-way flanged fitting designed to create a 90-degree branch at a smaller nominal pipe size than the main run.
How is a reducing tee different from a straight tee?
A reducing tee has a smaller nominal branch connection, while a straight tee maintains the same nominal size across the run and branch.
How many flanged connections does this fitting have?
The fitting has three flanged connections.
What angle is the branch connection?
The reduced branch is positioned at 90 degrees to the straight-through main run.
What material is this tee made from?
The supplied product information states that the fitting uses grey iron castings conforming to ASTM A126 and ASTM A48.
What dimensional standards apply?
Flanged fitting dimensions conform to ASME B16.1 and ANSI/AWWA C110/A21.10.
Is this fitting UL Listed?
The supplied product information states that Class 125 fittings are UL Listed through 12".
Can a reducing tee eliminate a separate reducer?
In a compatible piping layout, the smaller branch connection can eliminate the need for a separate reducing fitting at the branch.
Is the manufacturing facility ISO certified?
Yes. The supplied product information states that the manufacturing facility is ISO certified.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm the main run size, reduced branch size, flange dimensions, bolt patterns, gasket requirements, Class 125 requirements, material compatibility, and applicable piping-system specifications before ordering.
