1" Galvanized Iron Tee – Engineered for Structural Integrity and Leak-Free Performance
The 1" Galvanized Iron Tee is a durable, threaded fitting designed for branch line connections in water distribution systems, air lines, and other general-purpose plumbing applications. Manufactured to strict dimensional tolerances, this tee enables secure, three-way pipe connectivity while offering enhanced protection against corrosion and mechanical stress.
Key Benefits for Professional Installations
Hot-Dip Galvanized Finish – The exterior is zinc-coated for superior corrosion resistance, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
Threaded FNPT Ends – Female National Pipe Taper (FNPT) threads on all outlets ensure a tight, standardized fit with steel, iron, or brass piping.
Full-Flow Design – Engineered to maintain consistent internal diameters for unimpeded fluid movement and reduced turbulence at the junction point.
ASTM Compliant – Meets applicable ASTM A197 and A153 standards for malleable iron castings and galvanization procedures.
High Working Pressure – Rated for use in non-potable systems and pressure-rated applications when properly sealed and installed.

Installation Considerations
Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to ensure a leak-free joint. Align fittings carefully to avoid thread stripping or over-tightening. This tee is suitable for mechanical assemblies, HVAC systems, non-potable water distribution, and air piping systems.
Common Use Cases
Industrial and commercial piping systems
Branching off supply lines in mechanical rooms
Compressed air distribution networks
Non-potable fluid transfer in irrigation or hydronic systems
Did You Know?
Galvanized fittings are often preferred in structural plumbing where long-term oxidation resistance and mechanical integrity are required, especially in areas exposed to atmospheric moisture or corrosive elements.
Engineered to perform in demanding conditions, the 1" Galvanized Iron Tee offers the strength and reliability required by professional contractors. Designed for longevity and consistent pressure performance, this fitting is a core component for robust plumbing systems.
