It joins three lines with a 5\/8-inch male flared port on each of the two run ends and a 1\/2-inch male flared port on the branch outlet. Thread specifications are 7\/8-14 on the larger ports and 3\/4-16 on the reduced branch. The fitting is rated to 650 psi and handles temperatures from -65 to 250 degrees F. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and hydraulic system installers typically work with this fitting in copper, brass, aluminum, and steel tubing applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis reducing branch tee is suited for residential and light commercial fluid systems where a single supply line must branch to a reduced-size outlet while maintaining full SAE 45-degree flare integrity. Its forged brass construction makes it appropriate for hydraulic tubing runs in HVAC refrigerant line sets, fuel systems, and hydraulic equipment that use compatible tubing materials. The 0.035-inch tube wall requirement and 0.69-inch body size make it a practical choice for tight routing in equipment panels and mechanical rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForged brass construction for strength and corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSAE 45-degree male flare connections on all three ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReducing configuration: 5\/8 inch x 5\/8 inch x 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated to 650 psi working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide temperature range: -65 to 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with copper, brass, aluminum, and steel hydraulic tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with copper, brass, aluminum, and steel hydraulic tubing conforming to SAE 45-degree flare standards.

Depressurize and isolate the system completely before disassembling any fittings. Use an appropriately sized flare nut wrench to avoid rounding the fitting body; do not use pipe wrenches on flare fittings. Verify tube wall thickness meets the 0.035-inch minimum before flaring to ensure a leak-free seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inches, Male Flared\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inches, Male Flared\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 3\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inches, Male Flared\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/8-14 x 3\/4-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlare Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: SAE 45 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorking Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 650 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\u003eBody Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.69 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCenter to End\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.28 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Wall\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.035 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.76 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.85 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Forged Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.295 pounds\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: 10189\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67949758611762,"sku":"10189","price":30.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6022be081ec300401ab8e4721d9bb38e_2a06f57f-b256-4cb3-9961-2a3f3c4f30a9.jpg?v=1791700497","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-10189-reducing-branch-tee-brass","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
