Merit Brass XB106-12 Brass Pipe Tee 3/4 in Fbspt Class 125

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS XB106-12 is a Class 125 brass pipe tee designed for threaded piping assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial applications. All three ports use female British standard pipe taper (FBSPT) threads, allowing a branch connection to be made at a 90-degree angle from the run. Weighing 0.44 pounds, the tee is compact enough for tight utility spaces while still delivering the pressure integrity expected in Class 125 fittings. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of fitting in new construction and retrofit work alike.

This tee is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems where a threaded branch takeoff is needed. Common applications include water distribution lines, hydronic heating branch connections, and compressed-air distribution headers. The equal FBSPT x FBSPT x FBSPT configuration allows the same fitting to serve as either a straight run with a side outlet or a full branch point, depending on how the piping is arranged. It is sold individually, making it practical for single-fitting replacements or small-quantity service calls.

Key Features

• FBSPT x FBSPT x FBSPT threaded ends for all-female, equal-tee configuration
• Class 125 pressure rating suitable for standard residential and light commercial service
• 3/4 inch fitting size covers a common main-line and branch-line diameter
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance in water and moderate-temperature fluid systems
• Compact weight of 0.44 pounds supports easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded replacement fitting for Class 125 brass tee applications in standard 3/4 inch threaded piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads mating into this fitting. Do not over-torque the connection, as brass threads can be damaged by excessive force.
