Matco-norca mn-ft3t05 Steel Tee 1 in Threaded 3000 Lb

Product Description

The MATCO-NORCA mn-ft3t05 is a forged steel tee fitting designed for high-pressure piping systems where reliable, leak-free connections are critical. All three ports are 1 inch threaded, conforming to ASME B16.11 dimensional standards. Rated at a 3000 lb pressure class, this fitting is built for demanding industrial and commercial plumbing and piping applications. It is typically installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors working on process piping, compressed air lines, steam systems, or high-pressure fluid distribution systems.

This tee fitting is suited for use in commercial and industrial piping installations where forged steel construction and a 3000 lb pressure class rating are specified. The equal-run, equal-branch configuration with three threaded connections simplifies inline branch takeoffs. Applications include process piping, hydraulic systems, compressed air distribution, and steam or condensate lines where threaded fittings meeting ASME B16.11 are required by design or code.

Key Features

• Forged steel construction for high-pressure service and structural integrity
• 3000 lb pressure class rating suitable for demanding commercial and industrial systems
• All three ports are 1 inch threaded for consistent, equal-bore branch connections
• Conforms to ASME B16.11 dimensional standards for interchangeability and code compliance
• Equal tee configuration allows straightforward inline branch takeoffs without reducers

Compatibility

Designed as an ASME B16.11-compliant threaded forged steel tee for use in 1 inch threaded piping systems rated at 3000 lb pressure class. No specific system or model compatibility was stated in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes. Depressurize and drain the system fully before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid and pressure. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as forged steel fittings can crack mating threads on mismatched or corroded pipe ends.
