Midland Industries 32126 Brass Hose Barb Tee 3/8 in

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 32126 is a brass hose barb tee fitting designed to split or join fluid lines in plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical systems. All three ports are 3/8-inch hose barb connections, making this a symmetrical tee suitable for routing flexible hose in multiple directions from a single junction point. The fitting is rated to 150 psi maximum operating pressure and handles a temperature range of -40 to 160 degrees F. The 0.43-inch body size and compact overall dimensions make it a practical choice for tight installations. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting when splitting flow across hose assemblies or connecting branch lines.

This tee is intended for use with flexible hose secured by a hose clamp, similar clamping hardware, or a crimped ferrule. Typical applications include low-pressure fluid distribution lines, coolant circuits, HVAC condensate or water supply branches, and similar systems where 3/8-inch barbed connections are required. The all-brass construction offers corrosion resistance suitable for water, coolant, and other compatible fluids in both residential and light commercial settings.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or qualified mechanical technicians. Shut off and depressurize the fluid system completely before disassembling any hose connections. Seat the hose fully over each barb before applying the clamp or ferrule, and verify the clamp is positioned past the barb retaining ridge. Do not exceed the rated 150 psi working pressure or the specified temperature limits for the application.
