Midland Industries 706232-06 Brass Pipe Tee 3/8 Mpt

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 706232-06 is a lead-free forged brass pipe tee designed for joining or branching threaded pipe runs in plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical systems. All three ports are 3/8-inch male pipe thread (MPT) with a 3/8-18 thread form, making this an equal-leg male tee configuration. The forged brass construction delivers reliable pressure ratings and corrosion resistance suited to potable water, hydronic, gas, and general fluid service. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors working on copper, brass, or steel pipe systems where a branch connection is required at the same size on all three legs.

This tee is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where a 3/8-inch MPT branch connection is needed. Common installation scenarios include water supply lines, compressed air distribution, hydronic heating branch takeoffs, and gas piping where local code permits brass fittings. It is compatible with brass or steel pipe and fits standard 3/8-18 NPT female threaded fittings and valves.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified mechanical contractor. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before threading the fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten to snug without over-torquing the brass body. Verify that local plumbing code accepts brass fittings for the intended service, particularly for gas applications.
