Southland 510-603HN 1/2 Inch Galvanized Tee Fitting

Product Description

The SOUTHLAND 510-603HN is a 1/2-inch galvanized malleable iron tee fitting designed to create a three-way branch connection in threaded pipe systems. The hot-dip galvanized zinc coating provides corrosion resistance that extends service life in demanding environments. This fitting is used in residential and light commercial piping work by licensed plumbers and pipefitters who need a reliable, code-compliant branch point in a threaded line. At 0.34 pounds, it is compact and easy to handle during installation in tight spaces.

This tee fitting is suited for a range of piping applications including potable water distribution, compressed air supply lines, and drainage systems. It is also commonly used in general mechanical and fabrication projects that require a threaded galvanized branch fitting. The 1/2-inch nominal size fits standard NPT-threaded pipe and fittings of the same diameter on all three ports.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to all male threads before assembly and tighten to a firm, wrench-tight connection. Do not over-tighten, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
