Ham-let 3000978 Pipe Tee 1/2 in 316 Ss Threaded 4600 Psi

Product Description

The HAM-LET 3000978 is a 1/2 inch threaded pipe tee manufactured from 316 stainless steel. It provides a branch connection in pressurized piping systems, allowing flow to be split or combined at a single junction point. The end configuration is MNPT x FNPT x FNPT, making it compatible with standard NPT-threaded pipe and fittings. Rated to 4,600 psi, this tee is built for demanding service environments where corrosion resistance and pressure integrity are critical. Licensed pipefitters and plumbers working on industrial, chemical, or process piping systems are the primary installers of this fitting.

This fitting is suited for use in high-pressure process piping, refinery lines, and industrial fluid systems where 316 stainless steel is specified for its resistance to chlorides and corrosive media. The threaded MNPT x FNPT x FNPT configuration allows direct connection to male NPT pipe on the run inlet and female NPT ports on the branch and remaining run outlet. It meets ANSI B 31.1 Power Piping and Refiner Piping Code requirements, as well as ASME/ANSI B1.20.1 (1983) threading standards, making it appropriate for code-compliant installations.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in aggressive or chloride-containing environments
• 4,600 psi pressure rating suitable for high-pressure process and refinery piping
• MNPT x FNPT x FNPT end connections for direct NPT thread engagement
• Meets ANSI B 31.1 and ASME/ANSI B1.20.1 (1983) standards for code-compliant installations
• 1/2 inch fitting size for common small-bore process piping applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded pipe tee for use in 1/2 inch NPT process and industrial piping systems requiring 316 stainless steel fittings rated to ANSI B 31.1 and ASME/ANSI B1.20.1 (1983) standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or plumber in accordance with applicable piping codes, including ANSI B 31.1 where required. Depressurize and isolate the piping system completely before removing any existing fittings or making new connections. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male NPT threads per the system fluid and pressure requirements. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can damage the threads or fitting body.
