Is the T-piece 45Â° with BSP female thread, cast iron, type 165/30 suitable for temperatures up to +300Â°C and pressures 25 bar (â¤120Â°C) / 20 bar (â¤300Â°C)?

Yes. The T-piece 45Â° with BSP female thread, cast iron, type 165/30 is suitable: the product description specifies ductile (cast) iron, an operating temperature up to +300Â°C, and working pressures of 25 bar (for temperatures up to +120Â°C) and 20 bar (for temperatures up to +300Â°C). Ensure installation and service conditions do not exceed these limits and verify compatibility with media and applicable standards.

Can the T-piece 45Â° with BSP female thread, cast iron, type 165/30 be used in potable water systems at temperatures up to +300Â°C?

No. The description for T-piece 45Â° with BSP female thread, cast iron, type 165/30 specifies use in industrial piping, material ductile iron, and rated operating temperatures up to +300Â°C with pressure limits (25 bar to +120Â°C, 20 bar to +300Â°C). It does not state suitability for potable (drinking) water. Cast/ductile iron fittings for industrial use often lack potable-water approvals (e.g., WRAS, NSF/ANSI, KIWA) and may have coatings or residues unsuitable for drinking supply. To use in potable systems you must obtain manufacturer confirmation of potable-water certification and compliance with local standards; without that, do not use it for potable water at any temperature.

Does the T-piece 45Â° with BSP female thread, cast iron, type 165/30 require special sealing for 300Â°C operation?

probably yes. use high-temperature sealing appropriate for cast iron and BSP thread at 300Â°C. Explanation: The T-piece 45Â° with BSP female thread, cast iron, type 165/30 is rated for operation up to +300Â°C and 20 bar at that temperature. Standard BSP threaded joints typically require a thread sealant or tape to ensure leak-tightness and to compensate for thread clearances, thermal expansion, and potential vibration. At 300Â°C you must use a sealant material compatible with both the temperature and the conveyed medium. Common low-temperature pipe-tapes (e.g., PTFE tape rated only to ~260Â°C) and many conventional thread compounds are not suitable. Recommendations: - Use a high-temperature, chemically compatible thread sealant rated above 300Â°C (e.g., anaerobic high-temp compounds, silicone-based high-temp sealants, or graphite-impregnated tapes specified for >300Â°C), or use metal-to-metal jointing practice if recommended by the manufacturer. - Confirm sealant compatibility with the conveyed fluid (steam, hot oil, gases, chemicals) and with ductile iron. - Apply sealant per manufacturer instructions to avoid overfilling threads (which can contaminate the system) and ensure correct torque. - Where possible, consult the T-piece 45Â° with BSP female thread, cast iron, type 165/30 manufacturer for their recommended sealing method and approved products; follow applicable codes and safety standards for high-temperature piping. If you provide the specific medium (steam, oil, gas, corrosive fluid), I can suggest more specific sealant options.
