Anderson Metals Corp 738101-02 Brass Tee Fitting 1/8 Inch

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 738101-02 is a rough brass tee fitting sized for 1/8 inch pipe connections. This three-way fitting splits or combines flow in a plumbing or gas line run and is manufactured in compliance with lead free requirements under Public Law 111-380. The rough brass finish indicates an unplated, as-cast or as-machined surface suitable for applications where appearance is not a priority. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in low-pressure water, gas, and air distribution systems where a branch connection is needed. The 738101-02 is sold in bulk pack quantities of 5 units per package.

This tee fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, compressed air, and gas piping applications using 1/8 inch pipe threads. The small pipe size makes it common in instrument lines, pilot gas lines, pressure gauge connections, and similar branch takeoff points. Its lead free compliance makes it appropriate for potable water service where local codes require conformance with Public Law 111-380 lead content standards. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working on pilot assemblies or low-pressure instrument lines will find this fitting a standard stock item.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off water or gas supply and depressurize the line fully before removing or installing any fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly and tighten to hand-tight plus wrench-snug — do not overtighten brass fittings as the material is susceptible to thread damage. Pressure-test the assembly after installation before returning the system to service.
