Midland Industries 700064-05 Brass Compression Tee 5/16 in

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 700064-05 is a lead-free brass compression tee fitting designed for joining three runs of tubing in a single connection point. All three ports accept 5/16-inch compression connections, making this an equal-leg tee suited for clean, reliable branch connections without soldering or special tools. Constructed from lead-free brass with a 1/2-24 thread specification, this fitting is rated for temperatures from -40 degrees F to 250 degrees F. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and refrigeration technicians install this type of fitting in fluid and gas distribution lines where a leak-free mechanical connection is required.

This fitting is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing, refrigeration, and HVAC applications where a tee branch is needed in a tubing run. The equal 5/16-inch compression ports on all three connections allow for straight branch splits without reducers or adapters. Its lead-free brass construction meets requirements for potable water and other regulated service applications. Installations involving copper, aluminum, or plastic tubing all fall within the stated compatibility range for this fitting.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians. Shut off the fluid or gas supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling any tubing connections. Ensure tubing ends are cut cleanly and deburred before seating into the compression fitting to achieve a proper seal. Follow applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines for compression fitting installations in potable water or gas service lines.
