GEBO pipe reducing female threaded tee 1 x 1/2" x 1" galvanized (model 130-25V)

GEBO pipe reducing female threaded tee 1 x 1/2" x 1" galvanized (model 130-25V) is a galvanized cast fitting with three internal (female) threads that connects three pipe runs while reducing one branch from 1" to 1/2". Intended for metal plumbing, heating and industrial fluid systems, the fitting provides a corrosion-resistant threaded junction for steel or other compatible threaded pipes. Its reducing tee design allows flow distribution and branch reduction in compact piping assemblies.

Advantages

The galvanized finish offers enhanced protection against corrosion for installations exposed to moisture or varying temperatures. Female threaded ends provide straightforward mechanical connection without welding, enabling faster assembly and disassembly for maintenance. The reducing branch permits smooth transition between pipe sizes while maintaining sealed threaded connections suitable for liquid and gas conveyance in compatible systems.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial plumbing systems using threaded metal pipes
• Heating and radiator installations requiring size reduction on a branch
• Industrial fluid lines where corrosion-resistant threaded fittings are needed
• Repair and retrofit projects where welding is not desirable or possible

Key specifications

• Configuration: reducing female threaded tee with three internal threads
• Thread sizes: two runs at 1" and one reducing branch at 1/2"
• Material finish: galvanized coating for corrosion resistance
• Connection type: female (internal) threads for mechanical joining
• Application medium: suitable for water, heating fluids and compatible gases where threaded steel fittings are permitted

How to use

Select compatible threaded pipe sections with matching thread form and size. Clean threads and apply appropriate thread sealant or tape rated for the intended medium and temperature. Hand-start the fitting onto the pipe, then tighten with an appropriate wrench until a leak-free joint is achieved without over-tightening. When reducing from 1" to 1/2", ensure flow direction and pressure considerations are accounted for in the system design. Inspect assembled joints for leaks and re-tighten or re-seal if necessary.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use the fitting only with threaded metal pipes of the correct size and compatible thread standard. Avoid overtightening to prevent thread damage and ensure the selected sealant is compatible with the conveyed fluid and service temperature.
