3" x 2" Black Malleable Iron Reducing Tee – Engineered for High-Strength Branch Connections

The 3" x 2" Black Malleable Iron Reducing Tee is designed for strength, consistency, and alignment in branch piping configurations. Manufactured from ASTM A197 malleable iron and coated with a black finish, this fitting enables a 90° branch transition from a 3" main run to a 2" outlet, accommodating changes in line size without sacrificing flow integrity or pressure resistance.

Product Advantages

• ASTM A197 Material Compliance – Cast from high-strength malleable iron for excellent mechanical performance in pressure systems.
• Threaded to ANSI B1.20.1 – NPT threads ensure compatibility with standard pipe threads for leak-tight installations.
• 300 PSI Rated – Suitable for air, gas, oil, or steam systems operating at elevated pressures.
• Reducing Configuration – Allows seamless integration of smaller branch lines in confined system layouts.
• Black Finish – For non-corrosive indoor environments and dry piping systems.

Technical Specifications

• Main Size: 3" NPT
• Branch Size: 2" NPT
• Material: Malleable Cast Iron
• Pressure Rating: 300 PSI (non-shock)
• Standards: ANSI B16.3 and B1.20.1

Installation Guidelines

This tee should be installed using appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape on all male threads. Torque should be applied with pipe wrenches to avoid galling or thread distortion. For gas and hydronic systems, verify torque and pressure specifications per code.

Common Applications

• Low-pressure steam heating systems
• Natural gas and propane piping networks
• Air compressor distribution lines
• Hydronic loop manifolds and distribution points

Note:

This black malleable fitting is intended for use in systems where corrosion is not a concern. For exposure to moisture or chemicals, galvanized alternatives should be considered.

The 3" x 2" Black Malleable Iron Reducing Tee provides a dependable solution for adapting line sizes in mechanical systems. Engineered for high-strength service and dimensional accuracy, it's a staple fitting in industrial, HVAC, and gas distribution applications.
