Meet the Anvil Black Malleable Iron Reducing Tee — a rugged, three-port plumbing fitting that smoothly transitions between sizes while keeping threads secure and leak-resistant. Designed with two 1 in. FPT ports and one 3/4 in. FPT port, this reducing tee lets you branch from a larger line to a smaller line in a single, reliable connection.
Key benefits
-
Durable malleable iron construction delivers impact resistance and long‑lasting performance in everyday piping systems.
-
Black finish not only looks professional but also helps blend with black iron piping while offering subtle protection against corrosion.
-
Three female pipe threads (FPT) provide versatile, easy connections to standard male fittings or adapters.
-
Precise, consistent threading supports smooth assembly and reliable seals when paired with appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape.
-
Compact, straightforward installation makes it suitable for tight spaces and retrofit projects where a single fitting can redirect flow efficiently.
Ideal uses
- Branching a 1 in. supply line down to a 3/4 in. line for fixtures, appliances, or fixtures fed off a main run.
- Hydronic or radiators in light commercial or residential heating systems where durable iron fittings are preferred.
- Repair or retrofit projects where a robust, threaded connection is favored over soldered or welded joints.
Installation tips
- Prepare threads with an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape on male threads, ensuring a clean, undamaged surface.
- Hand‑tighten first, then snug with a wrench to avoid cross‑threading and over‑torquing, which can compromise seals.
- Check alignment before final tightening to ensure the 1 in. and 3/4 in. ports line up with the rest of the piping run.
