Midland Industries 32352 Reducing Branch Tee Brass

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 32352 is a brass reducing branch tee designed for hose barb fluid connections in plumbing, HVAC, and fluid-transfer applications. It features two 1/2-inch hose barb ports and one 3/8-inch hose barb port, allowing a branch line of reduced diameter to split off a main run. The fitting is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 150 psi and performs across a temperature range of -40 to 160 degrees F. The 3/8-18 thread spec and 1.26-inch center-to-end dimension make it a compact, reliable solution. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fluid-system installers use this type of fitting in low-pressure liquid and gas routing tasks.

This reducing tee is suited for residential and light commercial installations where a hose-barb connection is required to branch a fluid line. Typical applications include coolant routing, water distribution, pneumatic tubing, and similar low-pressure systems. It is designed for use with hose clamps, similar-type clamps, or crimped ferrules to secure hose ends at each barb port. The 0.43-inch body size and compact overall dimensions make it a practical choice in tight installation spaces.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified technician familiar with hose barb fittings and applicable plumbing codes. Depressurize and drain the system completely before removing any existing fittings or connecting this tee. Secure each hose end with an appropriate hose clamp or crimped ferrule to prevent blowoff under operating pressure. Verify that hose inner diameters match the barb sizes to ensure a proper seal.
