Midland Industries 79258 Aluminum Tee 2 in Fpt

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 79258 is a equal-run aluminum tee fitting designed for fluid and gas distribution systems requiring a three-way branch connection. All three ports are sized at 2 inches with Female Pipe Thread (FPT) connections, threaded to the 2-11-1/2 NPT standard. The aluminum construction keeps weight low while offering corrosion resistance suitable for a range of piping applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians commonly install this fitting where a full-flow branch off a main line is required.

This tee is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations where aluminum fittings are specified. Typical applications include water distribution, compressed air lines, and compatible fluid handling systems. The equal-bore 2-inch configuration allows installation at any of the three ports as the run or branch without flow restriction concerns at the fitting itself.

Key Features

• Equal 2-inch FPT connections on all three ports for full-flow branch configurations
• 2-11-1/2 NPT thread standard ensures compatibility with standard pipe threads
• Aluminum construction provides corrosion resistance and reduced weight compared to iron or brass
• Straight tee geometry allows flexible orientation during installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-thread aluminum tee for use with 2-inch female pipe thread piping systems conforming to NPT thread standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or IFGC codes for the intended service. Thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid should be applied to male threads before assembly. Ensure the piping system is fully depressurized and drained before removing or installing any fitting. Do not overtighten, as aluminum threads are more susceptible to galling and damage than ferrous fittings.
