All three ports accept 3\/8-inch compression connections, making this a symmetric tee suitable for straight-through and branch configurations. Rated to 200 psi with an operating temperature range of -65 to 250 degrees F, the 18105 handles the thermal and pressure demands common in refrigeration lines, potable water supply, and pneumatic applications. The forged brass construction offers corrosion resistance and long service life in both wet and dry environments. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the typical installers for this type of fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 18105 is suited for residential and light commercial installations where copper, aluminum, or thermoplastic tubing is used. Common applications include water supply branch lines, refrigerant distribution, compressed air distribution, and instrument tubing. The 1\/2-inch body size and 3\/4-inch center-to-end dimension keep the fitting compact, making it a practical choice in tight equipment compartments or wall cavities where space is limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eForged brass construction resists corrosion in wet and dry service conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAll three ports are 3\/8-inch compression for tool-free tubing connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 200 psi for use in pressurized plumbing and HVAC lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWide temperature range of -65 to 250 degrees F covers refrigeration and hot-water applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with copper, aluminum, and thermoplastic tubing types\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact 1\/2-inch body size fits restricted installation spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with copper, aluminum, and thermoplastic tubing.

Shut off and depressurize the supply line fully before disassembling any existing fittings or inserting tubing into the compression ports. Ensure tubing ends are cut cleanly and deburred before seating in the fitting to achieve a leak-free compression seal. Do not overtighten compression nuts, as excessive force can deform the ferrule and compromise the seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: Compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Forged Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9\/16-24\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCenter to End\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 200 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\u003eCompatible Tubing\u003c\/strong\u003e: Copper, Aluminum, Thermoplastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.65 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.165 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 18105\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67949735674162,"sku":"18105","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/42ffc3e28842b054127a53c82f3fa02e.jpg?v=1791699633","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-18105-brass-compression-tee-3-8-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
