Construction & Applications
Malleable Iron Construction
Manufactured from malleable iron castings conforming to ASTM A197 for dependable strength and durability in threaded piping systems.
Reducing Configuration
The fitting allows one connection to differ in nominal size from the others, making it possible to transition pipe sizes directly at the tee.
90° Branch Connection
The tee creates a perpendicular branch from the main piping run while incorporating the required size transition into the same fitting.
Why Use a Reducing Tee?
Fewer Fittings Required
A reducing tee can eliminate the need for a separate reducer at the branch connection by combining the branch and pipe-size transition into one fitting.
Compact Piping Layout
Combining the reduction and branch connection can help shorten threaded assemblies and reduce the number of joints in the piping system.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a reducing tee used for?
A reducing tee is used to create a three-way branch connection while transitioning between different nominal pipe sizes.
How is a reducing tee different from a standard tee?
A standard tee typically has matching nominal connection sizes, while a reducing tee incorporates at least one connection with a different nominal size.
Does a reducing tee eliminate the need for a separate reducer?
In many piping layouts, yes. The reduction is built into the tee, which can eliminate the need to install a separate reducing fitting at the branch connection.
What type of connections does this fitting use?
The fitting uses female NPT threaded connections.
What material is this fitting made from?
The tee is manufactured from malleable iron castings conforming to ASTM A197.
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 a Class 150 fitting?
Yes. This is a 150# black malleable iron reducing tee.
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.
What sizes should I verify before ordering?
Verify all three nominal connection sizes and the required run and branch orientation before ordering a reducing tee.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Confirm all three nominal connection sizes before ordering.
- Verify which opening is reduced and how the fitting must be oriented in the piping system.
- This fitting uses female NPT threaded connections.
- NPT threads conform to ASME B1.20.1.
- Use compatible pipe, fittings, thread sealant, and accepted threaded installation practices.
- Verify system pressure, service, code, and approval requirements before installation.
- Refer to the specification sheet and Certificate of Conformance for additional product information.
