Description
150# Galvanized Malleable Iron Tee
150# galvanized malleable iron tees create a 90-degree branch connection in threaded piping systems. All three openings are equal-size female NPT connections, allowing the fitting to divide one pipe run into two directions or combine two threaded lines into one.
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 Threaded Tee Works
The two straight-through female NPT openings continue the main pipe run, while the third female NPT opening creates a 90-degree branch. Because all three openings are the same nominal size, this fitting is commonly called an equal tee.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a galvanized tee used for?
A galvanized tee creates a 90-degree branch in a threaded piping system.
Are all three openings the same size?
Yes. This is an equal tee with three female NPT openings of the same nominal pipe size.
How is an equal tee different from a reducing tee?
An equal tee has the same nominal size at all three openings. A reducing tee has one or more smaller connections.
What pressure class is this fitting?
This galvanized 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.
Can it be used with galvanized steel pipe and fittings?
Yes. It is designed for compatible NPT-threaded galvanized pipe, nipples, valves, fittings, and approved equipment connections.
Does the galvanized finish improve corrosion resistance?
Yes. The galvanized finish provides added corrosion resistance compared with an unfinished black fitting, although suitability still depends on the environment, piping media, temperature, and application.
Should thread sealant be used?
Use an approved pipe-thread sealant or thread tape on the male NPT connections entering each opening, selected for the piping media, pressure, temperature, applicable codes, and manufacturer recommendations.
Important Ordering Notes
