Eaton 3600X4 Male Branch Tee 1/4 Inch Brass 1200 Psi

Product Description

The EATON 3600X4 is a brass male branch tee fitting designed for industrial pipe assemblies requiring a reliable three-way connection. It accepts 1/4-inch male NPT threads on the branch port and 1/4-inch female NPT threads on the run ports, using an MNPTF x FNPTF configuration. Rated to 1,200 psi maximum working pressure and a temperature range of -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F, this fitting is built for demanding fluid and pneumatic service. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in compressed air, hydraulic, and industrial fluid distribution lines where a tee branch off a main run is required.

This fitting is suited for commercial and industrial piping systems where a compact tee configuration is needed to split or branch flow in tight installations. Its all-brass construction resists corrosion in water, air, and many hydraulic fluid applications. The MNPTF x FNPTF thread form provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal consistent with ASA, ASME, and SAE 130425 standards. It is commonly installed in pneumatic control systems, compressed air distribution manifolds, and general-purpose hydraulic circuits.

Key Features

• 1,200 psi maximum working pressure for high-demand pneumatic and hydraulic service
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance across a wide range of media
• MNPTF x FNPTF thread configuration for secure, leak-resistant tapered thread connections
• Wide operating temperature range: -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• Meets ASA, ASME, and SAE 130425 standards
• Compact tee shape fits tight panel and manifold installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for industrial piping systems using 1/4-inch MNPTF x FNPTF threaded connections rated to 1,200 psi.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape appropriate for the media being handled. Do not over-tighten tapered NPT threads, as this can crack brass fittings or damage mating threads.
