Merit Brass XB106-24 Brass Pipe Tee 1-1/2 in Threaded Class 125

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS XB106-24 is a Class 125 brass pipe tee designed for threaded pipe systems requiring a reliable three-way branch connection. Sized at 1-1/2 inches, it features female British Standard Pipe Taper (FBSPT) threads on all three ports, allowing a straight run-through connection with a perpendicular branch outlet. The brass construction provides solid corrosion resistance and durability in a wide range of fluid-handling applications. This fitting is a standard choice for licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on water distribution, light industrial, and general-service piping systems operating within Class 125 pressure ratings.

This tee fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating distribution, and general-purpose pipe assemblies where a threaded brass connection is specified. It is installed wherever a 1-1/2 inch branch takeoff is needed in a threaded pipe run. The FBSPT x FBSPT x FBSPT end configuration means all three ports accept external tapered pipe threads, keeping the installation straightforward for any threaded-pipe system.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male pipe threads before assembly, and tighten to a snug, leak-free fit without overtightening the brass threads. Pressure-test the assembly before returning the system to service.
