2" x 3/4" Black Malleable Iron Reducing Tee – Threaded Fitting for Multi-Diameter Piping Systems

The 2" x 3/4" Black Iron Reducing Tee is a three-way pipe fitting used to connect and transition between different nominal pipe sizes in threaded piping systems. Manufactured from cast black malleable iron, it offers a durable and pressure-rated solution for fuel gas, compressed air, water distribution, and hydronic applications.

This tee is configured with three female NPT outlets: two at 2" nominal size for the run and one 3/4" outlet for the branch. It allows installers to maintain mainline continuity while introducing a reduced outlet in system configurations requiring space or flow-rate adjustments.

Product Features and Benefits

• ✅ Black Malleable Iron Body – Fabricated for durability and impact resistance under operating pressures typical of mechanical and utility piping systems.
• ✅ Threaded NPT Ends – Compatible with Schedule 40 steel and iron pipe, machined to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 specifications for tight, leak-resistant joints.
• ✅ Reduces Pipe Size at Branch – Built-in outlet reduction enables direct transition without additional bushings or adapters.
• ✅ Pressure and Temperature Tolerance – Rated for non-potable applications in gas, air, and oil systems, with typical service temperatures up to 150°F at full pressure.
• ✅ Standard Compliant – Manufactured in accordance with ANSI/ASME B16.3 and suitable for threaded systems regulated under mechanical and fuel gas codes.

Installation Guidance

Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads prior to assembly. Use pipe wrenches for torque application, avoiding overtightening that may damage threads. The fitting must be correctly aligned and fully seated to ensure pressure integrity. Intended for use in above-ground systems; not recommended for potable water unless specified with a corrosion-resistant lining or coating.

Common Applications

This reducing tee is routinely installed in:

• Natural gas and propane distribution systems
• Air compressor manifolds and service lines
• Boiler connections and hydronic distribution circuits
• Low-pressure steam lines in mechanical and utility rooms

Material Characteristics

Black malleable iron provides the mechanical strength and thermal durability necessary for fuel gas and non-corrosive fluid systems. Its uncoated finish is intended for indoor or protected environments where oxidation exposure is limited.
