Description
125# Lead Free Brass Tee
125# Lead Free Brass Tees are threaded fittings designed to create a 90-degree branch connection in compatible plumbing and piping systems. The three-way tee configuration allows a main piping run to continue straight while adding a perpendicular branch for connecting additional piping, valves, fixtures, or equipment.
These fittings conform with the lead-content requirements for lead-free plumbing as defined by the U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act and are certified to contain ≤0.25 weighted average % lead. Manufacturer dimensional, certification, and material safety documentation is provided below.

Threaded Tee Construction
A threaded tee creates a three-way piping junction with a branch positioned at 90 degrees to the main run. The straight-through connections maintain the primary piping route while the branch provides an additional connection point.
This configuration can be used to divide flow between two paths, combine flow from multiple lines, or connect equipment and secondary piping to a main system.
Lead free brass construction makes this fitting suitable for applications requiring compliance with applicable lead-content requirements for plumbing products.
