1-1/4 inch Stainless Steel Tank Tee With Union Male x Male x Male

1-1/4 Inch Stainless Steel Tank Tee with Union – Designed for High-Performance Pressure Systems

The 1-1/4 inch Stainless Steel Tank Tee with Union is a robust, corrosion-resistant fitting engineered for use in pressurized plumbing and pump systems. This fitting allows for secure and efficient connections between the pressure tank, pump discharge, and outlet piping while simplifying installation and maintenance through its integrated union design.

Professional-Grade Construction

• ✅ 304 Stainless Steel Body: Offers superior resistance to corrosion and scaling, making it suitable for potable water, hydronic heating, and industrial fluid systems.
• ✅ Integrated Union Joint: Facilitates easy installation and disassembly for maintenance or equipment replacement without disturbing connected pipe runs.
• ✅ Precision Threads: Machined NPT threads on all ends ensure reliable sealing with pipe joint compound or PTFE tape.

Application-Specific Benefits

• ✅ Multi-Port Utility: Typically installed at the pressure tank outlet to connect pressure switch, gauge, relief valve, and pump-to-system transition piping.
• ✅ Vibration and Stress Management: Rigid stainless construction withstands pump-induced vibration and pressure cycling without fatigue or leakage.
• ✅ Long-Term Reliability: Resistant to pitting and rust, especially in aggressive or hard water environments where other metals fail over time.

Technical Specifications

• Nominal Size: 1-1/4 inch
• Material: 304 Stainless Steel
• Configuration: Union Male x Male x Male Tee
• Pressure Rating: Suitable for standard residential and light commercial pressure systems (consult local code for specifics)

Installation Considerations

This tee should be installed using pipe wrenches on opposing flats to prevent torque transfer to adjacent fittings. Apply thread sealant suitable for stainless steel connections. The union joint should be hand-tightened and then snugged with a wrench to achieve proper gasket compression. Avoid over-tightening.

Typical Use Cases

Commonly found in well pump installations and water pressure booster systems, the stainless steel tank tee with union provides a compact, serviceable manifold for multi-outlet water distribution. It is suitable for indoor mechanical rooms and outdoor pump enclosures alike.

Did You Know?

Unlike brass or galvanized steel, 304 stainless steel maintains its structural and chemical integrity over decades, reducing replacement frequency and ensuring consistent system performance even in corrosive or chlorinated environments.

The 1-1/4 inch Stainless Steel Tank Tee with Union is a critical component for contractors who demand reliable performance, efficient layout, and reduced maintenance in pressure-driven systems. Install with confidence and build systems that last.
