B K Mueller 510-602HN Galvanized Equal Tee 3/8 in

Product Description

The B K Mueller 510-602HN is a 3/8-inch galvanized equal tee fitting used in threaded pipe assemblies across plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical systems. This tee provides a three-way branch connection with equal-sized ports on all runs, allowing a supply line to split or a branch line to be tapped from a main run. The galvanized steel construction offers corrosion resistance suited to damp or exposed installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers, and the fitting arrives ready for standard NPT threaded assembly. Units are sold in a package of 10.

The 510-602HN equal tee is used in residential and light commercial applications where a 3/8-inch threaded branch connection is required. Typical install scenarios include water supply distribution, compressed air lines, and similar low-to-medium pressure piping systems that require a branching point. The equal-bore design keeps all three ports at the same diameter, simplifying layout in symmetrical or parallel piping runs.

Key Features

• Equal-bore tee with all three ports at 3/8 inches for consistent flow path sizing
• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments
• Standard NPT threaded connections compatible with conventional pipe wrenches and threading equipment
• Sold in a package of 10 units per package quantity for multi-fitting jobs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fitting for 3/8-inch NPT threaded piping systems in plumbing and mechanical installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before breaking any connection. Apply thread sealant tape or compound rated for the intended service to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
