Description
304 Stainless Steel 150# Threaded Tee - SP112
Charman Inc 304 Stainless Steel 150# Threaded Tees - SP112 provide three female-threaded connection points for creating a branch in a piping system. Manufactured from 304 stainless steel and available in nominal pipe sizes from 1/8" through 4", these equal tees are suited for industrial, commercial, mechanical, utility, and process-piping applications.
The female NPT connections allow compatible male-threaded pipe, nipples, fittings, valves, and equipment connections to be assembled without welding. The straight run and 90-degree branch are the same nominal pipe size, making the SP112 tee a practical fitting for equal-size distribution and branch piping.

What Is an SP112 Threaded Tee?
The Charman Inc SP112 threaded tee is a three-way stainless steel fitting with female NPT connections at each opening. Two connections form the straight run while the third connection creates a branch at 90 degrees.
The tees in this listing are equal tees, meaning the run and branch connections are all the same nominal pipe size. They are commonly used to divide flow, combine piping runs, connect equipment, and create branch connections in threaded piping systems.
Why Choose a 304 Stainless Steel SP112 Tee?
304 Stainless Steel Construction
- Provides good general corrosion resistance
- Suitable for many industrial and commercial environments
- Durable construction for threaded piping systems
- Useful where stainless steel piping components are specified
- Well suited for process, utility, mechanical, and equipment applications
Three-Way Threaded Connection
- Three female NPT openings
- Creates a 90-degree branch from a straight run
- All connections are the same nominal pipe size
- Connects compatible male NPT components
- No welding required for threaded assembly
Common Applications
Industrial & Process Piping
- Process piping systems
- Industrial utility piping
- Distribution piping
- Equipment connections
- Threaded stainless steel assemblies
Commercial & Mechanical Systems
- Commercial plumbing
- Mechanical piping systems
- Branch piping connections
- Manifold and equipment assemblies
- Maintenance and repair installations
Tee vs. Cross
A threaded tee has three openings and creates one 90-degree branch from a straight piping run. A threaded cross has four openings and provides an additional connection point for four-way branching.
The SP112 fittings in this listing are equal tees with the same nominal pipe size at all three female NPT connections.
Where an SP112 Threaded Tee Makes Sense
- Adding a 90-degree branch to a threaded piping run
- Dividing a piping system into two flow paths
- Combining compatible threaded piping connections
- Building manifold and distribution assemblies
- Connecting equipment or instrumentation branches
- Industrial process and utility piping
- Maintenance, repair, and retrofit installations

Installation & Selection Guidance
- Confirm the required nominal pipe size before ordering.
- Verify that all three mating components have compatible male NPT connections.
- Confirm that an equal tee is appropriate for the piping layout.
- Confirm that 304 stainless steel is compatible with the intended service.
- Inspect fitting and mating threads for damage or contamination before assembly.
- Use a thread-sealing method appropriate for the system media, pressure, temperature, and application.
- Begin threaded assembly carefully to reduce the risk of cross-threading.
- Tighten connections using appropriate tools and accepted threaded-piping practices.
- Avoid excessive tightening that could damage the tee or mating threads.
- Support connected piping to avoid excessive mechanical loading on the fitting.
- Confirm system pressure and temperature requirements before installation.
- Pressure-test completed piping assemblies where required.
- Installation should be completed by qualified personnel and in accordance with applicable codes and specifications.
Product Selection Considerations
Nominal Pipe Size
Select the SP112 tee based on the nominal pipe size of the male NPT piping components being connected. All three openings on each tee are the same nominal size.
Branch Configuration
Choose an equal tee when the branch and straight-run connections all need to be the same nominal size. A reducing tee is required when the branch or run connection needs a different pipe size.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Charman Inc SP112 threaded tee?
It is a 304 stainless steel 150# three-way fitting with three female NPT connections used to create a 90-degree branch in a threaded piping system.
What connections does the SP112 tee have?
The fitting has three female NPT threaded connections for compatible male NPT piping components.
What material are these tees made from?
The SP112 tees in this listing are manufactured from 304 stainless steel.
Are all three connections the same size?
Yes. These are equal tees, so all three openings have the same nominal pipe size.
What sizes are available?
This listing includes 1/8", 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4", 1", 1-1/4", 1-1/2", 2", 2-1/2", 3", and 4" nominal pipe sizes.
What is the difference between a tee and a cross?
A tee has three connections and creates one branch from a straight piping run. A cross has four connections for additional branching at the same location.
Does the SP112 tee require welding?
No. The fitting uses female NPT threaded connections and does not require welding for normal threaded installation.
Can the tee be used to split a piping run?
Yes. An equal tee can be used to create a same-size branch from a straight piping run when the system design permits that configuration.
Should thread sealant be used?
Use a thread-sealing method appropriate for the system media, pressure, temperature, fitting materials, and applicable installation requirements.
How do I choose the correct size?
Select the tee that matches the nominal pipe size of all three compatible male NPT components being connected.
