Merit Brass XNL106-24 Straight Pipe Tee 1-1/2 in Fnpt 125 Lb

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS XNL106-24 is a straight pipe tee designed for threaded piping systems in plumbing, HVAC, and general industrial applications. Manufactured from brass with a rough finish, this fitting accepts female National Pipe Taper (FNPT) connections on all three ports and carries a 125 lb pressure rating. At 1-1/2 inches nominal size, it provides a reliable split-flow or branch connection in moderate-pressure systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting type in both residential and light commercial settings.

This tee is suited for use in water distribution, steam, air, and gas piping systems where a standard FNPT brass tee is specified. The 125 lb pressure class makes it appropriate for low- to moderate-pressure service lines. It is commonly installed at branch takeoff points in supply lines, manifold assemblies, and distribution headers. The rough finish is typical for fittings that will be threaded and sealed in concealed or mechanical-room locations where cosmetic finish is not a concern.

• FNPT connections on all three ports for threaded assembly
• 125 lb pressure rating suitable for low- to moderate-pressure service

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten; use a pipe wrench with appropriate backup to avoid cracking the fitting body.
