Construction & Applications
Malleable Iron Construction
Manufactured from malleable iron castings conforming to ASTM A197 for dependable strength and durability in demanding threaded piping systems.
Three-Way Branch Connection
The tee provides three female-threaded openings and creates a perpendicular 90-degree branch from the main piping run.
Hot-Dip Galvanized Finish
The galvanized coating conforms to ASTM A153 and provides added protection against rust and corrosion in moisture-prone and outdoor environments.
Why Choose a 300# Galvanized Tee?
Higher-Duty Construction
Class 300 malleable iron fittings are intended for more demanding threaded piping applications than standard Class 150 fittings.
Added Corrosion Resistance
The hot-dip galvanized coating helps protect the fitting in environments exposed to moisture, humidity, weather, and other conditions where bare black iron may be less suitable.
Typical Applications
Mechanical & Commercial Piping
- Mechanical piping systems
- Commercial plumbing
- HVAC piping
- Water distribution
- Compressed air systems
- General utility piping
Galvanized & Outdoor Applications
- Outdoor piping
- Moist environments
- Waterworks installations
- Industrial piping
- General galvanized piping systems

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 300# galvanized malleable iron tee used for?
It is used to create a three-way threaded branch connection in a higher-duty piping system while providing added corrosion resistance from the galvanized finish.
What type of connections does this tee use?
The tee uses female NPT threaded connections on all three openings.
Does this tee provide a 90-degree branch?
Yes. The branch outlet is positioned at 90 degrees to the main run.
Are all three connections the same size?
This standard tee is intended for equal-size run and branch connections. Use a reducing tee when different nominal connection sizes are required.
Can the tee divide or combine flow?
Yes. Depending on the piping arrangement, the fitting can divide flow from a main line into a branch or combine flow paths into a common run.
Why choose galvanized instead of black malleable iron?
The hot-dip galvanized coating provides added protection against rust and corrosion in piping exposed to moisture, humidity, or outdoor conditions.
How is a 300# tee different from a 150# tee?
The Class 300 fitting is a heavier-duty fitting intended for more demanding threaded piping applications than a standard Class 150 fitting.
What standard applies to the galvanized coating?
Hot-dipped galvanized fittings conform to ASTM A153 according to the supplied product information.
What thread standard applies?
NPT threads conform to ASME B1.20.1.
Are Class 300 fittings UL Listed?
Yes. The supplied product information states that Class 300 fittings are UL Listed.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Confirm the required nominal pipe size before ordering.
- This standard tee is intended for equal-size run and branch connections.
- All three openings use female NPT threads.
- The branch connection is positioned at 90° to the main run.
- Use a reducing tee if different connection sizes are required.
- Confirm that Class 300 construction is appropriate for the intended piping system.
- NPT threads conform to ASME B1.20.1.
- Malleable fitting dimensions conform to ASME B16.3.
- Hot-dipped galvanized fittings conform to ASTM A153.
- Use compatible galvanized pipe, fittings, and thread sealant appropriate for the intended system.
- Avoid damaging the galvanized coating during handling and installation.
- Do not assume the “300#” class designation alone establishes allowable working pressure for every service condition.
- Verify pressure, temperature, media compatibility, potable-water requirements, applicable codes, and approval requirements before installation.
- Refer to the specification sheet and Certificate of Conformance for additional product information.
