1 inch Stainless Steel Tee Female x Female x Female

1 Inch Stainless Steel Tee – FIP x FIP x FIP Threaded Branch Connection

The 1 inch stainless steel tee with three female threaded outlets is designed for distributing flow or branching service lines in pressurized piping systems. Manufactured for compatibility with standard NPT connections, this fitting is suitable for high-strength, corrosion-resistant assemblies in potable water, industrial fluid transport, and mechanical piping installations.

Material Characteristics and Functional Performance

Stainless steel fittings are selected for their resistance to oxidation, scaling, and chemical degradation, particularly in aggressive environments or high-demand mechanical systems. This tee offers the following performance features:

• ✅ Precision-Cut Threads Machined to ANSI B1.20.1 tolerances to ensure consistent engagement and reliable sealing.
• ✅ Corrosion-Resistant Alloy Typically manufactured from 304 or 316 stainless steel for durability in potable water and industrial media applications.
• ✅ Lead-Free Compliance Conforms to NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 standards for safe use in drinking water systems.
• ✅ High Tensile Strength Maintains structural integrity under elevated system pressures and thermal cycling conditions.
• ✅ Non-Reactive Surfaces Ideal for use in systems requiring minimal leaching or contamination risk.

Installation Guidelines

Use approved thread sealant or PTFE tape on all mating threads. Ensure proper thread alignment and avoid over-torquing to maintain sealing surface integrity. Suitable for installation using standard pipe wrenches and torque-controlled assembly practices. Follow applicable plumbing and mechanical codes for pressure testing and commissioning.

Application Scope

This stainless steel tee is commonly used in fluid handling systems, water distribution mains, industrial process lines, and where threaded metal pipe is required. It provides a compact and stable method for branching service lines in confined mechanical spaces or equipment rooms.

Corrosion Resistance Note

Stainless steel fittings maintain performance in both indoor and outdoor environments, offering reliable resistance to rust, scaling, and moisture-induced degradation. Suitable for high-humidity installations and chemically aggressive media.
