3/8 inch Lead-Free Brass Tee – Built for Code-Compliant, Pressure-Rated Installations

The 3/8 inch Lead-Free Brass Tee provides a durable solution for branching fluid flow in potable water, air, or inert gas systems. Manufactured to precise tolerances, this tee delivers consistent, leak-resistant performance under varying pressures and temperatures. Designed for long-term use in residential, commercial, and industrial piping systems, it meets current regulatory standards for lead content and material safety.

Advantages of Lead-Free Brass Construction

• ✔️ NSF/ANSI 61 & 372 Certified – Approved for use in potable water systems in all 50 states, including those requiring lead-free compliance.
• ✔️ Corrosion-Resistant Brass – Excellent resistance to dezincification and internal degradation in aggressive water environments.
• ✔️ Reliable Pressure Handling – Rated for moderate-pressure systems; compatible with copper, PEX (via adapters), and other metallic tubing.
• ✔️ F x F x F Thread Design – Three standard female pipe thread (FPT) connections provide versatile layout options in water distribution or air systems.

Technical Specifications

• Size: 3/8 inch nominal
• Connection Type: Female Pipe Thread (NPT) on all three ports
• Material: Lead-Free Brass Alloy, compliant with federal Safe Drinking Water Act standards
• Operating Pressure: Typically up to 125 PSI for water systems

Installation Considerations

Use thread sealant or PTFE tape to ensure a watertight connection during installation. Always thread by hand before tightening to avoid cross-threading. Suitable for installation in systems where temperature, pressure, and fluid characteristics are compatible with brass. Threading tools and properly supported pipework are essential to reduce stress on the fitting body.

Typical Applications

This 3/8 inch brass tee is regularly used in branch connections for water supply lines, compressed air systems, and low-pressure fluid distribution networks. It is also compatible with retrofit and repair operations that require precise transitions between existing pipe runs.

Did You Know?

As of January 2014, the Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Act mandates that plumbing products used in potable systems contain no more than 0.25% lead content by weight—a standard met by this brass tee.

Engineered for dependable use in pressure-rated systems, the 3/8 inch Lead-Free Brass Tee is a professional-grade solution for distributing or redirecting flow with confidence. Its construction and compliance profile make it a dependable choice for jobs where both safety and durability matter.
