Legris 3198 06 13 Male Branch Tee Fitting 290 Psi Bspp

Product Description

The LEGRIS 3198 06 13 is a push-to-connect male branch tee tube fitting designed for pneumatic and fluid control plumbing lines requiring a reliable, tool-free branch connection. The body combines glass-reinforced nylon with nickel-plated brass internal components, delivering a rated working pressure of 290 psi and a temperature range of -4 degrees F to 175 degrees F. The 1/4 inch BSPP male thread interfaces with standard British Standard Parallel Pipe ported manifolds, valves, and cylinders. A nitrile O-ring provides a positive seal against the mating port face. This fitting is installed by pneumatic system technicians, industrial maintenance mechanics, and plumbing professionals working on compressed-air and fluid distribution systems.

The 3198 06 13 suits residential and light commercial pneumatic plumbing, automation panel builds, and process fluid lines where a tee branch must be added at a male-threaded port. The 6 mm tube outside diameter accommodates small-bore tubing common in instrumentation, HVAC controls, and pneumatic actuator circuits. Its compact envelope, measuring 0.89 inches in height, 0.89 inches in length, and 0.63 inches in width, allows installation in tight panel spaces and manifold banks without interference.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design allows tool-free tube insertion and secure retention without additional fittings or clamps
• 290 psi maximum working pressure rated for compressed-air and low-pressure fluid service
• Glass-reinforced nylon body with nickel-plated brass internals balances corrosion resistance with structural strength
• Nitrile O-ring face seal on the 1/4 inch BSPP male thread resists oil, water, and common pneumatic lubricants
• Vacuum rated to 28 in-Hg, supporting suction-line and vacuum-circuit applications
• Compact dimensions suit dense panel and manifold installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect branch tee for pneumatic and fluid systems using 6 mm outside diameter tubing and 1/4 inch BSPP male-threaded ports. Consult system documentation to confirm thread standard and tube diameter before installation.

Installation Notes

Depressurize and lock out the pneumatic or fluid circuit completely before removing existing fittings or installing this tee. Confirm the mating port uses BSPP thread form, not NPT or BSPT, as these are not interchangeable without an adapter. Cut tubing cleanly and squarely with a tube cutter to ensure full engagement in the push-to-connect collet. After pressurizing the system, inspect all connections with leak-detection fluid to verify a bubble-free seal.
