Legris 3198 12 13 Male Branch Tee 12mm 1/4 Bspp 290 Psi

Product Description

The LEGRIS 3198 12 13 is a push-to-connect male branch tee tube fitting designed for compressed air and fluid distribution lines. It accepts 12mm outside-diameter tubing and features a 1/4-inch BSPP male thread on the branch port. The body is constructed from glass-reinforced nylon with nickel-plated brass internal components. It holds a maximum working pressure of 290 psi and is rated for a vacuum of 28 inches Hg. The nitrile O-ring seals provide a reliable connection across a working temperature range of -4 degrees F to 175 degrees F. Pneumatic technicians and plumbing professionals install this fitting in instrument and control-line assemblies where a branch connection is needed without additional tooling.

This fitting is suited for light industrial and commercial pneumatic systems using 12mm OD tubing. The male branch tee configuration lets a technician tap a branch line off an existing run while maintaining a threaded port connection to a valve body, manifold, or instrument port. Typical applications include compressed air distribution, pneumatic control circuits, and fluid-handling systems operating within the rated pressure and temperature limits of the fitting.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design allows tool-free tube insertion and secure locking without compression fittings or solder
• 290 psi maximum working pressure suits standard compressed-air and low-pressure fluid systems
• Glass-reinforced nylon body reduces weight while maintaining structural integrity in service
• Nickel-plated brass internal components resist corrosion in moist or condensate-prone environments
• Nitrile O-ring seals compatible with air, water, and many common hydraulic fluids
• Vacuum-rated to 28 inches Hg for use in suction or venturi circuit applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-to-connect fitting for pneumatic and fluid-line assemblies using 12mm outside-diameter tubing with a 1/4-inch BSPP male threaded port connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pneumatic or plumbing technician. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing or installing any fitting. Verify that tubing outside diameter, thread type, and system pressure ratings are confirmed matches before final assembly. BSPP threads require a compatible female BSPP port and appropriate thread sealant; do not force into NPT or other non-parallel thread forms.
