Product Description

The Anderson Metals Corp 738101-16 is a 1-inch rough brass tee fitting designed for use in potable water distribution, plumbing supply lines, and general fluid handling applications. Constructed from rough brass, this tee provides a three-way branch connection in pressurized piping systems. It meets the lead-free requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it compliant for use in systems carrying potable water. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction, remodel, and repair work where a branch takeoff is required in a main supply line.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations. The 1-inch size fits standard 1-inch pipe threads or connections depending on end type. Its rough brass construction makes it appropriate for use in both exposed and concealed piping configurations. The lead-free compliance designation confirms suitability for drinking water systems in jurisdictions enforcing Public Law 111-380, which includes most states and municipalities across the United States.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before cutting in or removing existing fittings. Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape on threaded connections and verify joint integrity before restoring system pressure. Do not overtighten threaded brass fittings, as brass threads are susceptible to cracking under excessive torque.
