Meet the Anvil 1 in. FPT x 1 in. FPT x 1/2 in. FPT Galvanized Malleable Iron Reducing Tee — a rugged, three-way threaded connector designed to create clean branches from a single main line. Built with galvanized malleable iron, this reducing tee combines durability with reliable, easy-to-install functionality for demanding piping projects.
Why this reducing tee stands out
-
Three female threaded ends (FPT): End 1 = 1 in., End 2 = 1 in., End 3 = 1/2 in., allowing straightforward connections to standard male-threaded fittings or pipes.
-
Material and finish: Malleable iron with a galvanized finish provides robust strength and corrosion resistance for long-term service in wet or damp environments.
-
Pressure handling: Rated up to 150 psi, making it suitable for typical residential water lines, light commercial applications, and other low-to-mid-pressure systems.
-
Functional reducing design: Efficiently creates a 1/2 in. branch off a 1 in. main line or splits a 1 in. feed into two 1 in. paths, all with permanent, threaded connections that are easy to assemble and disassemble for maintenance.
Ideal use cases
- Connecting branches in residential plumbing where a 1 in. main line must feed a smaller 1/2 in. branch or secondary line.
- Low-to-mid pressure water distribution systems, utility rooms, basements, and utility hookups that require threaded, leak-resistant joints.
- Irrigation or irrigation-related installations where durable, corrosion-resistant fittings are preferred for longevity.
- Repairs or retrofits that benefit from removable, threaded connections instead of permanent welds or solder joints.
Practical guidance for use
To ensure a reliable seal on FPT connections, pair this reducing tee with compatible male-threaded fittings and use appropriate thread sealant or tape suitable for metal threads. The galvanized finish helps resist rust and corrosion in typical indoor and outdoor piping environments, while the malleable iron construction provides strength and ease of threading that’s advantageous during installations and future service.
Who it's for
- Plumbers tackling mixed-diameter piping runs where a 1 in. main must feed a 1 in. and a 1/2 in. leg.
- Property managers and maintenance teams seeking durable, serviceable fittings for water distribution systems.
- DIY enthusiasts working on light commercial or home plumbing projects who value solid threading and corrosion-resistant finishes.
The Anvil reducing tee combines purpose-built threading, reliable 150 psi performance, and galvanized malleable iron construction to deliver a dependable, long-lasting connection for your piping layouts.
