Merit Brass XB106-02 Brass Pipe Tee 1/8 in Class 125

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS XB106-02 is a Class 125 brass pipe tee designed for low-pressure piping applications in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial systems. The fitting features female British standard pipe taper (FBSPT) connections on all three ports, allowing a branch takeoff from a straight run of threaded pipe. At 1/8 inch nominal size, this tee is suited for small-diameter pipe runs where a reliable, leak-resistant threaded joint is required. The all-brass construction resists corrosion and holds up in wet service environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers, though knowledgeable tradespeople working on compliant systems also use this fitting.

This tee is used in residential and light commercial piping systems where 1/8 inch threaded branch connections are needed. Common applications include instrument air lines, low-pressure gas distribution headers, water supply branch points, and control-line piping. The FBSPT threading on all three ends accepts standard tapered male pipe threads, making this fitting compatible with a wide range of threaded pipe and valves in the same nominal size.

Key Features

• FBSPT x FBSPT x FBSPT end connections for all-female threaded assembly
• Class 125 pressure rating suitable for low-pressure service
• 1/8 inch nominal fitting size for small-diameter piping runs
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and humid environments
• Compact tee configuration enables branch takeoffs in tight spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for 1/8 inch female threaded pipe systems using tapered pipe thread connections rated at Class 125.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC. Shut off and depressurize the system before disassembling any threaded joints. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as brass fittings can crack under excessive torque.
