1/4 inch Brass Tee Female x Female x Female

1/4 inch Lead-Free Brass Tee – F x F x F for Potable Water and Utility Applications

The 1/4 inch Lead-Free Brass Tee is a triple-female threaded fitting designed for use in potable water systems, instrumentation lines, and general-purpose utility connections. Manufactured from lead-free brass to comply with U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act requirements, this fitting offers dependable performance in systems requiring a 90-degree branch from an existing pipe run.

Engineered to NPT (National Pipe Taper) thread standards, this brass tee allows for secure mechanical joining across a variety of low- to moderate-pressure fluid and gas applications. It is well suited for use in water distribution, compressed air systems, fuel gas (where permitted), and hydronic heating circuits.

Product Features

• ✅ Lead-Free Brass Construction – Meets NSF/ANSI 372 requirements for use in potable water systems across all jurisdictions.
• ✅ Triple FPT Configuration – Female x Female x Female National Pipe Thread for seamless branching in threaded systems.
• ✅ Machined Thread Accuracy – Precision threads ensure consistent engagement, torque retention, and sealing performance.
• ✅ Corrosion Resistance – Brass material resists dezincification and general corrosion, extending service life in wet and humid environments.
• ✅ Compact Profile – Designed for installation in tight spaces where directional flow change and minimal footprint are required.

Installation Notes

Threaded connections should be made using PTFE tape or an approved thread sealant. Ensure threads are clean and undamaged before assembly. Proper torque should be applied to avoid cracking or thread deformation. Not intended for repeated disassembly or re-torqueing under load.

Common Applications

This tee fitting is commonly used in potable water supply lines, reverse osmosis systems, pressure testing assemblies, compressed air networks, and residential or commercial plumbing layouts requiring a reduced-size branch connection.

Regulatory Compliance

All components designated as lead-free are required to meet NSF/ANSI 61 and 372. This fitting is approved for use in plumbing systems governed by IPC, UPC, and applicable local code for safe drinking water use.

The 1/4 inch Lead-Free Brass Tee offers a reliable, code-compliant solution for branching in threaded systems. Its durable construction and tight machining tolerances make it a preferred option for professional plumbing and mechanical installations.
