Merit Brass SW3406D-02 Pipe Tee 1/8 Inch 3000 Psi 304 Ss

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS SW3406D-02 is a 1/8 inch socket weld pipe tee fabricated from 304 stainless steel and rated to 3000 psi. This equal-run tee accepts socket weld connections on all three ports, making it appropriate for high-pressure piping systems where corrosion resistance is a priority. The 304 stainless grade provides good resistance to oxidation and many chemical environments. At 0.25 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight fitting suited to tight-space installations. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting in process piping, steam, and industrial fluid systems.

This socket weld tee is suited for small-bore, high-pressure lines in commercial and industrial applications. The 1/8 inch size is commonly found in instrument connections, sample lines, pilot lines, and other small-diameter runs within mechanical and process systems. Socket weld construction requires fillet welding at each port after insertion, making this fitting appropriate for permanent, leak-resistant joints in systems operating under elevated pressure.

Key Features

• 3000 psi pressure rating for high-pressure piping applications
• 304 stainless steel construction for corrosion and oxidation resistance
• Socket weld end connections on all three ports for permanent, welded joints
• 1/8 inch fitting size suitable for small-bore instrument and pilot lines
• Compact and lightweight at approximately 0.25 pounds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/8 inch socket weld pipe systems rated to 3000 psi in commercial and industrial mechanical piping applications.

Installation Notes

Socket weld fittings must be installed by a qualified pipefitter or welder following applicable code requirements, including ASME B31.3 for process piping. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before cutting into any existing piping. Insert pipe into the socket to the proper depth before welding, and allow the fitting and weld to cool fully before returning the line to service. Do not use socket weld fittings as temporary or threaded connections.
