Legris 3198 08 17 Male Branch Tee 3/8 Bspp 290 Psi

Product Description

The LEGRIS 3198 08 17 is a push-to-connect male branch tee tube fitting designed for compressed air and fluid distribution systems. It features a glass-reinforced nylon body with nickel-plated brass internals and a nitrile O-ring, rated to 290 psi maximum working pressure. The fitting accepts an 8 mm outside diameter tube and connects to a 3/8 inch BSPP male thread port. Operating temperature range runs from -4 degrees F to 175 degrees F, with a vacuum rating of 28 in-Hg. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and pneumatic system technicians install this type of fitting in both light industrial and commercial plumbing applications.

This fitting is suited for pneumatic tubing runs, compressed air distribution manifolds, and fluid control systems where a tee branch connection is needed off a threaded port. The push-to-connect design allows fast, tool-free tube insertion while maintaining a secure, leak-resistant seal. It is appropriate for residential and light commercial pneumatic or fluid systems operating within its rated pressure and temperature limits. The BSPP thread type makes it compatible with metric and British-standard plumbing configurations commonly found in imported equipment and European-spec machinery.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design for fast, tool-free tube installation and removal
• 290 psi maximum working pressure for demanding pneumatic service
• Glass-reinforced nylon body with nickel-plated brass components for corrosion resistance
• Nitrile O-ring for reliable sealing across a wide fluid compatibility range
• Vacuum rated to 28 in-Hg, suitable for low-pressure vacuum lines
• Operating range of -4 degrees F to 175 degrees F covers most industrial environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard push-to-connect male branch tee for pneumatic and fluid systems using 8 mm outside diameter tubing and 3/8 inch BSPP male threaded ports.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pneumatic system technicians. Depressurize and bleed the line fully before removing or installing any push-to-connect fitting. Verify that tubing outside diameter is clean, cut square, and free of burrs before insertion to ensure a proper O-ring seal. Confirm thread type and pitch match the receiving port before assembly; BSPP threads are parallel and require a sealant or O-ring face seal rather than tapered thread compound.
