Newage Industries 5005245 Barbed Tube Union Tee 3/8 in

Product Description

The NEWAGE INDUSTRIES 5005245 is a barbed tube union tee designed for fluid handling and tubing distribution applications. This nylon fitting connects three lengths of flexible tubing at a single junction point, splitting or combining flow in a tee configuration. All three barbed ports accept 3/8 inch inner diameter tubing. The nylon construction meets FDA approval standards and carries NSF-51 and NSF-61 certifications, making it appropriate for use in food equipment and potable water system applications. Plumbers, pipe fitters, and equipment service technicians typically install this type of fitting in low-pressure fluid distribution lines.

This union tee is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, food service equipment, water treatment systems, and fluid transfer assemblies where a three-way barbed connection is required. The natural color nylon body resists corrosion and is compatible with a wide range of water-based media. NSF-61 certification indicates suitability for contact with drinking water systems, while NSF-51 certification covers food equipment applications. It is packaged in quantities of 10 units per package with a minimum order quantity of 1 package.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by plumbers or equipment technicians working on low-pressure flexible tubing assemblies. Shut off fluid supply and depressurize the line before removing existing fittings or inserting the barbed tee. Push each barbed port firmly into compatible 3/8 inch ID tubing and secure with appropriately sized clamps to prevent pull-out under pressure. Follow applicable IPC or local plumbing codes when installing in potable water systems.
