Midland Industries 10354 Brass Run Tee Sae 45 Deg Flare

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 10354 is a forged brass run tee designed for hydraulic and fluid-system plumbing where two SAE 45-degree male flared connections run in-line and a branch NPTF male port exits the center. Port 1 and Port 3 are 1/2 in SAE 45-degree male flared connections with a 3/4-16 thread. Port 2 is a 3/8 in male NPTF branch with a 3/8-18 thread. The fitting is rated to 750 psi and handles temperatures from -65 to 250 degrees F. At 2.2 inches in overall length and 0.18 pounds, it is a compact forged fitting suited for tight plumbing runs. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and hydraulic system installers work with this type of fitting regularly.

This run tee is intended for use with copper, brass, aluminum, and steel hydraulic tubing in residential and commercial fluid-handling systems. The in-line flare-to-flare run with a side NPTF branch makes it well suited for split-line configurations where a branch takeoff is needed without breaking the primary run. The 0.032-inch tube wall specification and 0.59-inch body size are appropriate for standard 1/2-inch SAE flare tubing assemblies found in refrigeration, hydraulic, and fuel-line applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified hydraulic systems installer. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Inspect all flare seats and tube ends for damage or out-of-round conditions before tightening. Apply appropriate thread sealant to the NPTF branch port per the system manufacturer and applicable plumbing code requirements.
