Meet the Anvil Galvanized Malleable Iron Reducing Tee — a rugged three-way fitting engineered to streamline your piping layout. It features two 1 in. FPT connections and one 1-1/4 in. FPT connection, all in a single reducing tee designed for dependable, leak-resistant joins in standard threaded systems.
-
Three female pipe thread ends (FPT): two 1 in. FPT connections and one 1-1/4 in. FPT connection arranged in a conventional reducing tee configuration to simplify routing and installation.
-
Galvanized malleable iron construction: delivers enduring strength with corrosion resistance suitable for moist environments and long service life, while remaining easy to thread and assemble.
-
NPT-compatible sealing: designed to pair with standard male NPT fittings and common thread sealants, helping you achieve a reliable, drip-free connection when paired with proper sealing techniques.
Why this matters
When your piping plan requires branching a larger line into two smaller lines without sacrificing flow integrity, this reducing tee lets you couple in a compact, durable manner. The galvanization and malleable iron construction provide resilience in everyday plumbing, heating, and general-purpose piping projects, reducing the need for multiple adapters and minimizing potential leak points.
Ideal use cases
- Residential or commercial water supply runs that require branching from a 1-1/4 in main line to two 1 in branches.
- Hydronic heating circuits where a common feed must split to multiple radiators or zones.
- Retrofits and new installations in systems using threaded connections, where corrosion resistance and durability are priorities.
Installation tips
- Prepare threads with an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape compatible with galvanized malleable iron and potable-water systems.
- Hand-tighten the fitting initially, then snug with a wrench to avoid overtightening and potential thread damage.
- Orient the branch as required by your layout; while functionally bidirectional, proper orientation helps achieve a clean, accessible installation.
