Matco-norca mn-ft3t01 Forged Steel Threaded Tee 1/4 in

Product Description

The MATCO-NORCA mn-ft3t01 is a Class 3000 forged steel threaded tee designed for high-pressure piping systems in commercial and industrial applications. This fitting connects three sections of pipe at a 90-degree branch point and is constructed from forged steel for durability under demanding service conditions. At 1/4 inch, it suits smaller-diameter lines where pressure integrity is critical. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting in process piping, steam lines, and compressed-gas systems where threaded connections must hold under elevated pressure ratings.

This tee is suited for use in residential and commercial mechanical rooms, industrial process lines, and any threaded piping system requiring a reliable Class 3000 branch connection. The 1/4 inch size is commonly found in instrument lines, pilot gas piping, and other small-bore high-pressure applications. Installation typically follows ASME B16.11 standards for forged fittings, making it a code-compliant choice for threaded branch connections in ferrous piping systems.

Key Features

• Class 3000 pressure rating for high-pressure service applications
• Forged steel construction provides strength and resistance to mechanical stress
• 1/4 inch threaded end connections for standard NPT pipe engagement
• Compact tee geometry suitable for tight-clearance installations
• Lightweight at 0.43 pounds for easy single-hand handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Class 3000 forged steel threaded piping systems with 1/4 inch NPT connections.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on threaded ferrous piping systems. Shut off and depressurize the line fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads per the applicable piping code before makeup. Follow ASME B16.11 and applicable local mechanical codes for torque and joint inspection requirements.
