Construction & Applications
Malleable Iron Construction
Manufactured from malleable iron castings conforming to ASTM A197 for dependable strength and durability in threaded piping installations.
45° Branch Connection
The lateral provides a branch connection at approximately 45 degrees to the main run, allowing a more gradual change in direction than a conventional 90-degree tee branch.
Hot-Dip Galvanized Finish
The galvanized coating conforms to ASTM A153 and provides additional protection against rust and corrosion in moisture-prone and outdoor environments.
Why Use a Lateral Fitting?
Angled Flow Distribution
A lateral creates an angled branch from the main run, making it useful when the piping layout requires a smoother or more direct transition into a branch line.
Flexible Piping Layouts
The 45-degree branch can simplify routing around equipment, structural obstacles, or other system components where a standard perpendicular tee would be less convenient.
Typical Applications
Commercial & Mechanical Piping
- Commercial plumbing
- Mechanical piping
- Water distribution systems
- General utility piping
- Branch piping layouts
Galvanized Applications
- Outdoor piping
- Moist environments
- Water-service applications
- Industrial installations
- General galvanized piping systems

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a galvanized malleable iron lateral?
A lateral is a threaded branch fitting that creates an angled connection, typically at 45 degrees, from the main piping run.
How is a lateral different from a standard tee?
A standard tee typically creates a 90-degree branch. A lateral creates an angled 45-degree branch from the main run.
Can a lateral help create a smoother flow path?
Yes. A 45-degree branch provides a more gradual directional transition than a perpendicular 90-degree branch, although actual pressure loss depends on the complete piping system and operating conditions.
What type of connections does this fitting use?
The fitting uses female NPT threaded connections.
Why choose a galvanized lateral?
The hot-dip galvanized finish provides added corrosion resistance for applications exposed to moisture or outdoor conditions.
What material standard applies?
The supplied product information states that the malleable iron castings conform to ASTM A197.
What standard applies to the galvanized coating?
Hot-dipped galvanized fittings conform to ASTM A153 according to the supplied product information.
What dimensional standard applies?
Malleable fitting dimensions conform to ASME B16.3.
What thread standard applies?
NPT threads conform to ASME B1.20.1.
Is this fitting UL Listed and FM Approved?
The supplied product information states that Class 150 fittings are UL Listed and FM Approved at 300 PSI.
