Constructed from brass, this fitting connects a 1\/2-inch OD tube on two ports to a 1\/2-inch male NPT thread on the branch port. It carries a maximum working pressure of 250 psi and is rated for temperatures from -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F. The fitting is designated as a D.O.T. air brake fitting, meeting stringent federal motor vehicle safety and SAE standards. Licensed plumbers, fleet service technicians, and HVAC pipefitters install this type of fitting in both stationary and mobile pneumatic systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is suited for air brake tubing circuits, compressed air distribution lines, and other pneumatic plumbing runs where a branch tee with a male NPT takeoff is required. The push-to-connect design allows fast field assembly without the need for ferrules, compression sleeves, or additional sealant on the tube side. It is commonly installed in commercial vehicle air brake systems, industrial compressed air networks, and heavy-duty mobile equipment pneumatic circuits. The nitrile O-ring provides a reliable dynamic seal across the rated temperature range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePush-to-connect tube ports accept 1\/2-inch OD tubing without ferrules or secondary sealing components\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch male NPT branch thread for direct connection to NPT ports and fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction provides corrosion resistance in compressed air and pneumatic service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNitrile O-ring seals rated for service from -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e250 psi maximum working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets D.O.T.

Depressurize the system completely and confirm zero pressure before removing or installing any fitting. Ensure the 1\/2-inch OD tubing is cut cleanly and squarely with no burrs before inserting into the push-to-connect ports. Apply thread sealant compatible with compressed air service to the NPT thread per shop practice and applicable codes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tube x MNPT x Tube x Male (Push-To-Connect)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 250 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Working Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: -40 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 200 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eO-Ring Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nitrile\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.62 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.37 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: D.O.T.
