Description
150# Galvanized Malleable Iron Reducing Tee
150# Galvanized Malleable Iron Reducing Tees are designed to create a 90-degree branch connection while transitioning to a smaller nominal pipe size at the branch outlet.
Manufactured from durable malleable iron with a hot-dip galvanized finish, these Class 150 reducing tees provide dependable strength and added corrosion resistance for industrial, commercial, plumbing, mechanical, water, and outdoor piping applications.

Construction & Applications
Malleable Iron Construction
Manufactured from malleable iron castings conforming to ASTM A197 for dependable strength and durability in threaded piping systems.
Reduced Branch Outlet
The tee maintains the main run while providing a smaller branch connection, allowing flow to be distributed to a reduced-size secondary line.
Hot-Dip Galvanized Finish
The galvanized coating conforms to ASTM A153 and provides added protection against rust and corrosion in moisture-prone and outdoor installations.
Why Use a Reducing Tee?
Branch and Reduce in One Fitting
A reducing tee combines a 90-degree branch connection with a smaller outlet size, helping eliminate the need for a separate tee and reducing bushing in many layouts.
Efficient System Sizing
The reduced branch allows a smaller secondary line to connect directly to a larger main run, supporting cleaner piping layouts and fewer threaded joints.
Typical Applications
Commercial & Mechanical Piping
- Commercial plumbing systems
- Mechanical piping
- Water distribution systems
- General utility piping
- Reduced branch connections
Galvanized Applications
- Outdoor piping
- Moist environments
- Water-service applications
- Industrial installations
- General galvanized piping systems

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a reducing tee used for?
A reducing tee creates a 90-degree branch connection while allowing the branch or another connection to use a smaller nominal pipe size than the main run.
How is a reducing tee different from a standard tee?
A standard tee is generally used for equal-size connections, while a reducing tee incorporates different connection sizes to accommodate a smaller branch or other reduced connection.
Can a reducing tee eliminate the need for a bushing?
In many piping layouts, yes. Because the reduced connection is built into the tee, it can eliminate the need for a separate reducing bushing.
What type of connections does this tee use?
The fitting uses female NPT threaded connections.
What should I check when ordering a reducing tee?
Confirm all listed connection sizes and verify which opening is the reduced branch before ordering.
Why choose a galvanized reducing tee?
The hot-dip galvanized finish provides additional protection against rust and corrosion in installations exposed to moisture or outdoor conditions.
What standard applies to the galvanized coating?
The supplied product information states that hot-dipped galvanized fittings conform to ASTM A153.
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?
Yes. The supplied product information states that Class 150 fittings are UL Listed and FM Approved at 300 PSI.
