Description
3000# Forged Steel Threaded Reducing Tee
3000# Forged Steel Threaded Reducing Tees provide a durable threaded branch connection while reducing from the main pipe size to a smaller connection size. Manufactured from forged steel with NPT threaded connections, these fittings are designed for high-pressure industrial piping applications requiring a compact reducing tee configuration.
The forged construction provides the strength required for demanding piping systems, while the threaded design allows installation without welding. Multiple reducing combinations are available from 3/8" x 1/4" through 2" x 1-1/2" to accommodate a broad range of piping layouts.

Reducing Tee Configuration
A threaded reducing tee provides a branch connection while transitioning between different nominal pipe sizes. Select the size combination that matches the required run and reducing connection in the piping system.
Because reducing configurations are size-specific, verify both nominal dimensions before ordering. The first and second dimensions shown in the size selector identify the applicable reducing combination.
Why Choose a Forged Steel Reducing Tee?
Forged Construction
Forged carbon steel construction provides a strong, compact fitting for demanding threaded piping applications where pressure capability and mechanical durability are important.
Threaded Installation
NPT connections allow the reducing tee to be incorporated into compatible threaded piping systems without requiring a welded connection.

Installation & Selection Guidance
- Confirm both nominal pipe sizes before selecting a reducing tee.
- Verify that the fitting pressure class is appropriate for the piping system and service conditions.
- Confirm compatibility between the fitting material and the piping system.
- Inspect threads for damage or contamination before installation.
- Use thread sealant or thread sealing practices appropriate for the piping system and service.
- Avoid cross-threading when starting threaded connections.
- Do not use damaged fittings or fittings with damaged threads.
- Support connected piping appropriately to avoid excessive mechanical loading on the fitting.
- Test the completed piping system as required before placing it into service.
- Installation should follow applicable piping codes, system requirements, and established installation practices.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a threaded reducing tee?
A threaded reducing tee creates a branch connection while transitioning between different nominal pipe sizes. It is useful where the branch or connected piping requires a smaller size than the main piping connection.
What pressure class is this fitting?
This is a 3000# forged steel threaded fitting.
What material is the reducing tee made from?
The fitting is manufactured from forged carbon steel to ASTM A/SA105 material requirements.
What type of connections does it use?
These reducing tees use NPT threaded pipe connections.
What dimensional standard applies to the fitting?
The fitting is manufactured to ASME B16.11 dimensional requirements for forged fittings.
How do I choose the correct reducing tee?
Match both nominal dimensions shown in the size option to the required piping configuration. Verify the pipe sizes, pressure requirements, material compatibility, and connection type before ordering.
Does this fitting require welding?
No. This listing is for threaded reducing tees with NPT connections. The fitting is installed into compatible threaded piping components.
