Midland Industries 33438W Nylon Hose Barb Tee 1 Inch

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 33438W is a three-way nylon hose barb tee fitting designed for fluid transfer and low-pressure plumbing, irrigation, and general-purpose hose assemblies. All three ports are 1-inch hose barbed connections, allowing a standard push-on hose or tubing to seat and seal without threaded tools. Molded from nylon in white, the fitting handles a maximum operating pressure of 125 psi and an operating temperature range of -40 to 200 degrees F. Plumbers, irrigation technicians, and industrial maintenance trades reach for this type of fitting when branching a single hose run into two outlets or tying a third line into an existing run.

This fitting suits residential and light commercial applications where a barbed tee connection is needed in water supply lines, irrigation manifolds, pool and spa plumbing, chemical transfer lines, and general-purpose fluid handling systems. The equal 1-inch bore on all three ports keeps flow balanced across the branch. Its nylon construction resists corrosion and many common chemicals, making it a practical choice in wet or outdoor environments where metal fittings would be prone to rust or galvanic issues.

Key Features

• Three equal 1-inch hose barb ports for balanced flow in tee configurations
• Maximum operating pressure of 125 psi for a wide range of low- to mid-pressure hose systems
• Operating temperature range of -40 to 200 degrees F suits both cold-weather and warm fluid applications
• Nylon construction provides corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility with many common fluids
• Lightweight at 0.04 pounds, minimizing stress on hose assemblies
• White color aids visual identification in multi-line systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-inch inside-diameter hose and tubing barb applications in plastic hose barb plumbing assemblies.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by plumbers, irrigation techs, and general maintenance trades working on low-pressure fluid systems. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before cutting into an existing hose run. Secure hose ends over each barb with appropriately rated clamps to meet application pressure requirements. Follow all applicable local plumbing codes when used in potable water or chemical service lines.
