Street Tee Configuration
Male NPT End
The male threaded connection installs directly into a compatible female NPT fitting, valve, manifold, or equipment port.
Female NPT Run
One female threaded port continues the piping run with a compatible male-threaded pipe, nipple, valve, or fitting.
Female NPT Branch
The second female threaded port provides the branch connection for routing flow in another direction.
Construction Details
Midland Red Brass Street Tees are manufactured from premium red brass to provide dependable strength, corrosion resistance, and long service life in compatible piping applications.
The combination of one male and two female NPT connections allows the fitting to branch a threaded piping system while reducing the number of additional nipples or adapters required.
Precision-machined NPT threads help provide consistent engagement with compatible threaded components when installed using accepted piping practices.

Compact Branch Connection
- Creates a three-way threaded branch
- One end connects directly into a female fitting
- Reduces the need for an additional nipple
- Useful in confined piping layouts
- Simplifies certain threaded assemblies
Red Brass Construction
- Excellent corrosion resistance
- Good resistance to dezincification
- Dependable mechanical strength
- Suitable for compatible fluid systems
- Designed for long-term service
Street Tee vs. Standard Tee
Street Tee
A street tee includes one male threaded connection and two female threaded connections, allowing one end to screw directly into another female-threaded component.
Standard Tee
A standard threaded tee typically uses female threaded connections on all three ports and may require an additional nipple when connecting directly to another female-threaded fitting.
NPT Threaded Connections
Male NPT Connection
The male end installs into a compatible female NPT connection of the matching nominal pipe size.
Female NPT Connections
The two female ports accept compatible male NPT piping components and provide the run and branch connections.
Typical Applications
Plumbing & Mechanical
- Water piping
- Plumbing branch connections
- Valve assemblies
- Equipment connections
- Maintenance and repair
Commercial & Industrial
- Oil piping
- Air systems
- Compatible gas systems
- Industrial fluid handling
- Compact threaded piping assemblies
Size Selection
Midland Red Brass Street Tees are available in multiple nominal pipe sizes.
Confirm the required pipe size and verify that the male and female NPT connections match the components being joined before ordering.
Our pipe and fitting specialists can help review your pipe size, male and female NPT connections, system media, pressure, temperature, and branch layout before you order.

What is a street tee used for?
It is used to create a three-way threaded branch connection while allowing one end of the tee to connect directly into a compatible female-threaded component.
What material is this tee made from?
It is manufactured from red brass.
How many connections does it have?
It has three connections: one male NPT and two female NPT.
How is a street tee different from a standard tee?
A street tee includes one male threaded end, while a standard threaded tee typically uses female threaded connections on all three ports.
What is the advantage of the male threaded end?
It allows the tee to connect directly into a compatible female-threaded fitting or equipment port without using a separate nipple.
What connects to the female ports?
Compatible male-threaded pipe, nipples, valves, fittings, or equipment connections can be installed into the two female NPT ports.
Should thread sealant be used?
Use an appropriate pipe-thread sealant or PTFE tape on NPT connections according to the application requirements.
What media can this fitting be used with?
The supplied product information identifies water, oil, air, gas, and other compatible media.
Are multiple sizes available?
Yes. The supplied product information identifies multiple nominal pipe sizes.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm nominal pipe size, male and female NPT compatibility, system pressure, temperature, media compatibility, and required branch configuration.
