GEBO reducing union tee 3/4" x 1/2" x 3/4" (female) 130-22BR

GEBO reducing union tee 3/4" x 1/2" x 3/4" (female) is a threaded pipe fitting designed to join three pipes where the central branch has a smaller diameter. The fitting features union-style female connections that allow the nuts to be tightened or removed without rotating the connected pipes, which simplifies installation and maintenance in confined or fixed-pipe systems. It is intended for use in water supply, heating circuits, and service lines where a 1/2" branch is required between two 3/4" runs.

Advantages

The union-style female ends provide easy assembly and disassembly, reducing the need to access long pipe runs during repair or replacement. The reducing tee design allows a secure transition from 3/4" main runs to a 1/2" branch while maintaining threaded connections for reliable sealing. Its compact form factor is suitable for installations with limited space and helps to maintain alignment of the piping system during tightening.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial water supply lines
• Heating system branch connections
• Service lines and maintenance spaces where removable joints are needed
• Applications requiring a 1/2" outlet between two 3/4" pipes

Key specifications

• Connection type: union-style female threaded ends
• Configuration: reducing tee with central reduced branch
• Nominal sizes: two 3/4" inlets/outlets and one 1/2" branch
• Material: metal construction suitable for threaded plumbing connections
• Application medium: cold and hot water, heating circuits, general service lines

How to use

Prepare the mating threaded pipes by cleaning threads and applying an appropriate thread sealant or tape compatible with the system fluid and materials. Hand-start the union nuts on the fitting to avoid cross-threading, then tighten evenly using appropriate tools until a leak-tight connection is achieved. When disassembling, loosen the nuts on the union ends; the union design permits removal without rotating adjacent piping. Follow applicable plumbing codes and pressure ratings for the system in which the fitting is installed.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible thread sealants and check material compatibility with system fluids and temperatures. Verify pressure and temperature limits of the piping system and the fitting material before installation. Regularly inspect joints for leaks after initial commissioning and after any maintenance that involves disassembly.
