Brass Branch Tee for Plumbing Systems
This brass branch tee provides a reliable junction point in residential or commercial water lines. It connects three pipe sections using 1/2 inch female NPT threads on two ports and a 1/2 inch male NPT thread on the third. The Class 150 pressure rating suits standard municipal supply pressures.
Replacing Worn or Leaking Fittings
Install this tee when an existing junction shows corrosion, cracked threads, or persistent drips that tape cannot seal. The extruded brass construction resists dezincification better than cheaper cast alternatives, making the swap worthwhile for long-term service in potable water loops.
Sustained Pressure and Thermal Cycling
Under continuous system pressure the fitting maintains a tight seal without weeping, and it tolerates the temperature swings typical of hot-water distribution. California Proposition 65 notices apply because the alloy contains lead; installers should follow local codes for lead-free requirements where mandated.

Questions about this item
What size female NPT threads does this brass branch tee accept?
It has two 1/2 in female NPT connections and one 1/2 in male NPT branch, all Class 150 rated.
How do I seal the threads correctly when installing this tee?
Apply PTFE tape or pipe dope on the male threads only, tighten hand-tight plus one to two turns with a wrench, and avoid over-tightening which can crack the brass.
How often should this brass tee be inspected or replaced in a potable water system?
Check yearly for green patina, white powder or leaks; replace immediately if dezincification is visible or if the fitting sees aggressive water chemistry.
