1-1/4 inch Lead-Free Brass Tee – Built for Durable, Code-Compliant Branch Connections

The 1-1/4 inch Lead-Free Brass Tee is engineered for professional-grade performance in potable water distribution systems. Designed for full-flow applications, this fitting provides a secure and corrosion-resistant junction where a branch line is required. Manufactured from lead-free brass, it ensures compliance with modern potable water safety standards while maintaining long-term structural integrity.

Core Performance Features

• Material: Lead-free brass (compliant with NSF/ANSI 61 and 372)
• Connection Type: FPT x FPT x FPT (Female Pipe Thread)
• Nominal Size: 1-1/4 inch
• Pressure Rating: Suitable for use in systems rated up to 200 psi (dependent on configuration)
• Temperature Range: 0°F to 180°F for potable water applications

Advantages for Professional Applications

• Code-Compliant Construction: Meets Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) lead-free mandates across all 50 states.
• Precision Machined Threads: Ensures consistent engagement with male pipe threads for leak-resistant assembly.
• Corrosion Resistance: Brass construction resists dezincification and corrosion in domestic water systems.
• Thermal and Mechanical Stability: Maintains structural performance under a wide range of system temperatures and pressures.

Recommended Installation Practices

This brass tee should be installed using standard plumbing procedures for threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Tighten to recommended torque using appropriate pipe wrenches to ensure proper sealing without over-stressing the joint. Avoid cross-threading and ensure alignment of branch and run ports prior to pressurization.

Typical Applications

The 1-1/4 inch brass tee is widely used in:

• Potable cold and hot water distribution systems
• Hydronic heating applications
• Branch line terminations and zone splits
• Commercial retrofit projects and multi-unit builds
