Anderson Metals Brass Tube Fitting, Tee, 5/8" x 5/8" x 5/8" Compression

The Anderson Metals tee is made of brass and is a compression fitting. This 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. It is for use with water, gasoline, oil, and vacuum lines. This fitting is made of brass for corrosion resistance, ductility at high temperatures, and low magnetic permeability. The operating temperatures range from -65 to 250 degrees F. It is suitable for copper, brass, aluminum, and steel tubing. Pipe and tube fittings are components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in many different industries. Flared fittings are alternatives to solder-type joints and are used when the use of an open flame from a soldering iron is impractical or prohibited. The most common flare fitting standards are the 45-degree and 37-degree flare. When purchasing 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.
