Tee Configuration
Main Run Connection
One female NPT opening connects to a compatible male-threaded pipe, nipple, fitting, valve, or equipment connection along the main piping run.
90° Branch Connection
The center branch redirects or distributes flow at a 90-degree angle from the main piping run.
Opposite Run Connection
The third female NPT opening continues the main run using another compatible male-threaded piping component.
Construction Details
Midland Lead-Free Bronze Tees are manufactured from premium lead-free bronze to provide dependable mechanical strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and long-term service in demanding threaded piping environments.
Precision-machined female NPT threads on all three ports provide consistent engagement with compatible male-threaded components when installed using accepted piping practices.
The compact three-port body creates an efficient branch connection while minimizing the number of separate components required in the piping layout.
