Description
150# Black Malleable Iron Tee
150# black malleable iron tees connect three male-threaded pipes, pipe nipples, or compatible fittings of the same nominal size. The three female NPT openings form a straight run with a 90-degree branch, making these tees suitable for dividing, combining, or extending flow in threaded piping systems.
Select the required nominal pipe size from the product options above. The selected variation determines the Charman item number, online selling price, weight, cost, and other size-specific product information.

How a Pipe Tee Works
A threaded pipe tee has two aligned female NPT openings that form the main run and a third female NPT opening positioned at 90 degrees to create the branch. Male-threaded pipe, pipe nipples, valves, or compatible fittings are threaded into the three openings to divide flow, combine flow, or add a branch connection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a black malleable iron tee used for?
A black malleable iron tee is used to create a 90-degree branch connection in a threaded piping system, allowing flow to be divided, combined, or redirected through three connected pipe runs.
Does this tee have female threads on all three openings?
Yes. All three openings have female NPT threads for connection to compatible male-threaded pipe, pipe nipples, valves, or fittings.
Are all three openings the same nominal pipe size?
Yes. This is a standard equal-size tee. Select a reducing tee when the branch or run requires a different nominal pipe size.
What pressure class is this fitting?
This black malleable iron tee is manufactured as a 150# or Class 150 threaded fitting.
What sizes are available?
Available product variations range from 1/8" through 6" nominal pipe size. Select the required size from the product options above.
Can this tee be used with black steel pipe nipples?
Yes. It is designed for compatible male NPT-threaded black steel pipe, pipe nipples, valves, and other approved threaded components.
Can it be used for gas, water, oil, air, or steam?
It may be used in compatible gas, water, oil, compressed-air, steam, and general-service systems when the application remains within applicable pressure, temperature, media, code, and manufacturer requirements.
Should thread sealant be used?
Use an approved pipe-thread sealant or thread tape on all male-threaded connections, selected for the piping media, pressure, temperature, applicable codes, and manufacturer recommendations.
How is a standard tee different from a reducing tee?
A standard tee has three equal-size connections. A reducing tee has at least one connection that is a different nominal pipe size.
