Midland Industries 973967LF 1-1/4 in Bronze Insert Tee

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 973967LF is a lead-free bronze insert tee designed for use with plastic pipe systems. It features three 1-1/4 inch hose barbed connections - one inlet and two outlets - allowing a single supply line to branch into two downstream runs. The lead-free bronze construction meets current potable water standards, and the barbed connection style provides a secure mechanical grip when used with compatible flexible tubing or plastic pipe. Rated for a maximum operating pressure of 150 psi, this fitting is suited for both residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a reliable, corrosion-resistant tee is required.

This fitting is intended for use with plastic pipe and flexible tubing in water distribution, irrigation, and general plumbing systems. The hose barbed ends are designed to be inserted into the pipe or tubing bore and secured with clamps. Its compact profile and standard 1-1/4 inch sizing make it a straightforward drop-in component for repairs, modifications, or new installations where a three-way branch connection is needed.

Barbed ends should be fully seated into the pipe or tubing bore and secured with appropriately rated hose clamps.
