Brass Tee

Product Description

Brass Tees

A brass tee is a T-shaped pipe fitting with three ports, used to either combine the flow from two inlets into one outlet or to split a single supply line into two separate branches. It is a fundamental component for creating complex piping networks in industrial and commercial systems.

Technical Specifications

• Configuration: Three-way connection, typically at 90-degree angles.

• Common Thread Standards: * NPT (National Pipe Thread): Tapered for a leak-proof seal in pressure systems.

  • BSP (British Standard Pipe): Widely used in international markets.

  • Flare: Specifically for high-pressure gas or refrigeration lines.

• Pressure Rating: Depending on the wall thickness (e.g., Class 125 or Class 250), they are suitable for air, water, oil, and gas.

Common Applications

• Manifold Assemblies: Splitting a main fluid line to feed multiple machines or zones.

• Instrumentation: Installing a pressure gauge or sensor into a line by using the "top" of the tee.

• HVAC Systems: Distributing refrigerant or chilled water through secondary branches.

• Automotive: Used in brake systems or fuel lines to distribute fluid to different calipers or injectors.
