1/2 inch Brass Compression Tee – Professional-Grade Fitting for Secure Branch Connections

The 1/2 inch Brass Compression Tee is a precision-engineered component designed for dependable branch connections in copper, aluminum, or thermoplastic tubing systems. This tee is ideal for use in potable water supply lines, refrigeration systems, and various light industrial applications where mechanical, flame-free joining is required.

Constructed from lead-free brass, this tee meets current U.S. federal and state regulations for drinking water safety, offering corrosion resistance and high mechanical strength. It is designed for use where soldering or solvent welding is impractical or prohibited, and it provides a secure connection without the need for special tools.

Key Performance Features

• Mechanical Grip Design: Compression connections form a tight seal using a compression nut and ferrule, eliminating the need for heat or sealant compounds.
• Lead-Free Brass Construction: Certified to NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 standards, safe for use in potable water systems.
• Precision Machined Threads: Ensure leak-free sealing under typical line pressures.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for use with Type K, L, or M copper tubing, and compatible with select plastic tubing when used with appropriate inserts.
• Field-Serviceable: Easily disassembled and reassembled for maintenance or system modifications.

Technical Specifications

• Material: Lead-Free Brass
• Connection Type: 1/2 inch OD Compression x 1/2 inch OD Compression x 1/2 inch OD Compression
• Operating Pressure: Up to 200 PSI (dependent on tubing and installation)
• Temperature Range: 40°F to 180°F (typical for potable systems)
• Certifications: NSF/ANSI 61 and NSF/ANSI 372 certified

Common Applications

This tee fitting is typically used in branch line assemblies, under-sink water distribution, and anywhere a flame-free connection is required. It is especially useful in confined spaces or occupied buildings where flame use is restricted. Its reusability also makes it an excellent option for repair and retrofit work.

Did You Know?

Compression fittings like this brass tee provide a reliable alternative to soldered joints in plumbing systems, especially in retrofit installations where water cannot be completely drained from the lines prior to work.

The 1/2 inch Brass Compression Tee is an essential component for professionals looking to create durable, code-compliant branch connections without the need for soldering or special equipment. Its corrosion-resistant construction and easy installation make it a dependable solution across a range of plumbing and mechanical systems.
