Midland Industries 20132 Brass Female Branch Tee

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 20132 is a brass female branch tee designed for push-to-connect plumbing and pneumatic systems. It provides a three-way split with two 3/8-inch push-to-connect ports and one 1/4-inch female NPT port, allowing inline branching without additional adapters or soldering. The brass construction offers corrosion resistance and durability under normal system pressures. The push-to-connect ends accept tubing with a simple insertion, while the female NPT port accommodates standard threaded fittings. This fitting is compact and well-suited for tight spaces where a quick, reliable connection is required. Plumbers and HVAC technicians regularly use fittings of this type when tapping off supply or control lines.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC control lines, water treatment systems, and pneumatic distribution runs. The branch tee configuration is common in applications where an existing 3/8-inch run needs a secondary takeoff, and the 1/4-inch female NPT port provides a threaded connection point for gauges, sensors, solenoids, or smaller supply lines. The compact footprint makes it practical for panel installations and equipment enclosures where space is limited.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for push-to-connect brass plumbing and pneumatic systems using 3/8-inch OD tubing and 1/4-inch NPT threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified HVAC technicians. Shut off system pressure and depressurize lines before inserting or removing tubing from push-to-connect ports. Ensure tubing ends are cut cleanly and squarely for a proper seal. The female NPT port should be assembled with appropriate thread sealant per the applicable plumbing code.
