Legris 3198 10 13 Male Branch Tee Fitting 290 Psi

Product Description

The LEGRIS 3198 10 13 is a push-to-connect male branch tee fitting designed for use in pneumatic and fluid control systems where a branch connection is needed at a male-threaded port. The fitting accepts 10 mm outside-diameter tubing and connects via a 1/4 inch BSPP male thread. It is rated to 290 psi maximum working pressure and handles temperatures from -4 degrees F to 175 degrees F, making it suitable for a wide range of compressed-air and light fluid applications. The body is constructed of glass-reinforced nylon with nickel-plated brass internal components and a nitrile O-ring for reliable sealing. Maintenance technicians, pneumatic system installers, and automation professionals are the typical end users.

This fitting is used in industrial, commercial, and light manufacturing environments where quick, tool-free tube connections are required at a branching point. The 10 mm tube outside diameter and BSPP thread type are standard in European and international pneumatic systems. The 28 in-Hg vacuum rating also makes this fitting usable in vacuum circuit applications. It is commonly installed in instrument air lines, pneumatic actuator supply lines, and process control tubing networks.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design allows fast, tool-free tube insertion and secure retention
• 290 psi maximum working pressure suits most compressed-air service applications
• Glass-reinforced nylon body offers lightweight strength and chemical resistance
• Nickel-plated brass internal components provide corrosion resistance at the thread and sealing interfaces
• Nitrile O-ring ensures a reliable seal across the rated temperature range
• 28 in-Hg vacuum rating extends usability to vacuum circuit applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with 10 mm outside-diameter tubing and 1/4 inch BSPP male-threaded ports in pneumatic and fluid control plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified pneumatic system technicians or maintenance professionals familiar with push-to-connect fittings. Depressurize and isolate the affected circuit completely before removing or installing any fitting. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely, with no burrs, before inserting into the fitting to achieve a proper seal. Verify thread compatibility — BSPP threads are parallel and require an O-ring or sealant at the seat; do not mix with NPT or other taper-thread ports.
