All three ports are 3\/8 inch flared connections with a 5\/8-18 thread, making this a symmetrical fitting that simplifies branch installations. Rated to 1000 psi and suitable for service temperatures from -65 to 250 degrees F, it is built for demanding fluid and gas system applications. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and hydraulic system installers work with this type of fitting in both new construction and service replacement scenarios.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis union tee is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant line work, and hydraulic tubing circuits where a three-way branch connection is required. It is compatible with aluminum, brass, copper, and steel hydraulic tubing per the manufacturer specification. The SAE 45-degree flare design provides a leak-resistant metal-to-metal seat without the need for thread sealant at the flare interface, which makes it a practical choice where clean, serviceable connections are a priority.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll three ports are 3\/8 inch SAE 45-degree flared with 5\/8-18 thread for consistent, symmetrical branch connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet, refrigerant, and hydraulic fluid environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated to 1000 psi working pressure for reliable performance in pressurized systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating temperature range of -65 to 250 degrees F covers most HVAC and hydraulic service conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter-to-end dimension of 1 x 0.44 inches supports compact installation in tight spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with aluminum, brass, copper, and steel hydraulic tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with aluminum, brass, copper, and steel hydraulic tubing with SAE 45-degree flare connections.

Depressurize and isolate the system completely before disassembling any flare fittings. SAE 45-degree flare connections rely on a metal-to-metal seat; inspect flare faces for nicks or deformation before assembly, and do not over-torque, as this can damage the flare seat and cause leaks. Confirm tubing material compatibility before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size (All Ports)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type (All Ports)\u003c\/strong\u003e: SAE 45-Degree Flare\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8-18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1000 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: -65 to 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCenter to End\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 x 0.44 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.12 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Tubing Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum, Brass, Copper, Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: SAE 45 Degree Flare\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MIDLAND INDUSTRIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10161SS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67950538621234,"sku":"10161SS","price":25.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/bb7c0aa09621a15b56ff79d9a4b3c065_d0d84e3e-2b46-4bcb-b24c-469f4707856a.jpg?v=1791720870","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-10161ss-stainless-union-tee-3-8-in-flared","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
