Construction & Applications
Malleable Iron Construction
Manufactured from malleable iron castings conforming to ASTM A197 for dependable strength and durability in threaded piping installations.
Three-Way Configuration
The tee provides three threaded openings, allowing a branch line to connect to the main piping run at a 90-degree angle.
Standard NPT Threads
Female NPT threaded connections conform to ASME B1.20.1 for compatibility with properly sized male-threaded pipe and fittings.
Typical Applications
Industrial & Mechanical Piping
- Industrial piping systems
- Commercial piping
- Mechanical piping
- Threaded branch connections
- General utility piping
Common Services
- Water piping
- Gas piping
- Oil piping
- Fire protection systems
