Anderson Metals 50064 06 50064 Brass Compression Tube Fitting Tee 3 8 x 3 8 x 3 8 Tube OD

This Anderson Metals 50064 compression tube tee is a brass pipe fitting that accepts tubing with a 3/8" outside diameter. The tee fitting is T-shaped and has three openings to connect and branch three pipes, two on the main run and one branch at a 90-degree angle from the middle of the tee. Pipe dimensions for tees are represented as A x B x C. "A" and "B" indicate the main run on the fitting, and "C" indicates the branch. Its three piece construction – nut, sleeve, and body with attached insert connect to tubing for a leak-resistant seal in high-pressure, high-vacuum, and high-vibration applications. This fitting is made of brass for corrosion resistance, ductility at high temperatures, and low magnetic permeability. Brass can be connected to copper, brass, plastic, aluminum, and welded steel. The fitting has an operating temperature range of -65 to +250 degrees F. Pipe fittings are components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in many different industries. When purchasing pipe fittings, consider the application, as this will affect material type, shape, size and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in many shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness). Anderson Metals manufactures brass fittings, valves, and pipe nipples. The company, founded in 1951, is headquartered in Kansas City, MO.
