Brass Tee Fitting 127-N1 by FLOFLEX 1/8″ NPT Street Tee 5 Pack

Description

Product Overview

The FLOFLEX 127-N1 Brass Tee Fitting is engineered for precision and durability in demanding industrial environments. Constructed from high‑grade brass, the fitting offers excellent corrosion resistance and a long service life, even when exposed to moisture, steam, and a variety of chemicals. Its NPT (National Pipe Thread) design ensures a secure, leak‑free connection when paired with compatible threaded components. The street‑tee configuration provides a 1/8 inch male inlet and two 1/8 inch female outlets, allowing you to branch a single pipe into two separate lines with minimal pressure loss.

Key specifications include a compact size of 1.2 x 0.78 x 0.5 inches, a lightweight profile of 2.24 ounces per fitting, and a standard maximum operating pressure of 250 psi. The fitting operates safely across a temperature range of –65 °F to 250 °F, making it suitable for both cold‑air applications and high‑temperature steam systems. Each package contains five individually packaged fittings, each inspected for dimensional accuracy and thread integrity before shipping.

Usage

Designed for versatility, the FLOFLEX street tee excels in a wide array of applications. It is an ideal choice for pneumatic systems that require precise air distribution, vacuum lines where airtight seals are critical, and non‑potable water circuits used in cooling towers, fire‑suppression systems, and industrial cleaning equipment. The fitting also performs reliably in steam lines, provided the operating temperature stays within the specified range. Because the brass material can be machined to tight tolerances, the fitting maintains alignment and flow consistency, reducing turbulence and improving overall system efficiency.

When installing, it is recommended to apply a compatible pipe sealant or thread tape to the NPT threads to achieve maximum leak resistance. This practice is especially important in high‑pressure environments or where the fitting will be subjected to vibration. The 5‑piece pack allows technicians to quickly replace worn fittings or expand existing pipe networks without the need for additional inventory, streamlining maintenance schedules and minimizing downtime.

FAQ

What types of fluids can I use with this brass tee fitting?

The fitting is suitable for air, vacuum, non‑potable water, and steam. It is not recommended for potable water because the brass may contain trace amounts of lead.

Do I need a sealant when installing the fitting?

While the NPT threads provide a strong mechanical seal, applying a compatible pipe sealant or PTFE tape is advised to achieve maximum leak resistance, especially in high‑pressure or vibration‑prone installations.

Can this fitting be used in high‑temperature steam systems?

Yes. The fitting is rated for temperatures up to 250 °F, making it appropriate for many steam applications as long as the temperature does not exceed this limit.

Is the brass material lead‑free?

The brass used complies with standard industrial specifications, which may contain trace amounts of lead. For potable water applications, a lead‑free certified fitting should be selected.

How many fittings are included in one package?

Each package contains five individual brass tee fittings, each individually inspected and packaged for protection during shipping.
