All three ports use female British standard pipe taper (FBSPT) threads sized at 1 inch, allowing the fitting to join three sections of threaded pipe in a single union. The tee is machined from brass, making it well suited for plumbing, HVAC hydronic circuits, and light industrial fluid distribution lines where corrosion resistance and reliable thread engagement matter. Plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of fitting in both new construction and retrofit applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing systems, hydronic heating distribution, compressed air lines, and general fluid-handling piping where Class 125 pressure ratings apply. The 1-inch FBSPT thread pattern on all three ports makes it a direct-fit option for any run of 1-inch threaded pipe that requires a branch takeoff. The compact brass body keeps weight low at 0.77 pounds, simplifying handling in tight mechanical spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAll three ports are 1-inch FBSPT threaded connections for consistent, leak-resistant thread engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClass 125 pressure rating suitable for standard plumbing and hydronic applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction provides corrosion resistance in water and mild fluid service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTee configuration enables a straight run with a perpendicular branch in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.77 pounds, reducing stress on adjacent pipe supports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-inch threaded pipe systems using FBSPT connections rated at Class 125 service conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing any existing fitting or threading in this tee. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly, and tighten to hand-snug plus the number of turns specified by the sealant manufacturer. Do not over-torque brass fittings, as the alloy is softer than iron and excess force can crack the body or deform the threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tee\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connections\u003c\/strong\u003e: FBSPT x FBSPT x FBSPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass\u003c\/strong\u003e: 125\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.77 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40175300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MERIT BRASS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: XB106-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540576796978,"sku":"XB106-16","price":37.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d50d99526f04a8103bd9f3964a014cf5.jpg?v=1785858918","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-xb106-16-brass-pipe-tee-1-in-fbspt-class-125","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
