Spears MA0101-010 Swivel X Mipt Manifold Tee 1 Inch

Product Description

The SPEARS MA0101-010 is a 1-inch swivel by male iron pipe thread (MIPT) manifold tee designed for use in plumbing distribution systems. This fitting allows a branch connection at a manifold header while the swivel end provides rotational flexibility during assembly, reducing stress on connected piping. The MIPT end threads directly into a female-threaded port. At 0.22 pounds, it is a lightweight component suited for close-quarters manifold work. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in both residential and light commercial applications where manifold distribution is required.

This manifold tee is used in plumbing distribution manifold assemblies where a branch takeoff with a threaded connection is needed. The swivel feature simplifies alignment during installation, making it well suited for retrofit work or tight spaces where rigid fittings are difficult to position. It is appropriate for use in domestic water distribution, hydronic heating branch connections, and similar low-pressure plumbing manifold configurations.

Key Features

• 1-inch swivel inlet provides rotational flexibility for easier alignment during assembly
• MIPT outlet threads directly into standard female pipe thread ports
• Manifold tee configuration allows a branch takeoff at the distribution header
• Lightweight construction at 0.22 pounds for use in space-constrained manifold installations
• Order increment of 1 for single-unit purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 1-inch plumbing manifold systems using standard NPT-threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the applicable International Plumbing Code (IPC) requirements. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before removing or installing any manifold fittings. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the MIPT threads per standard practice before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort thread engagement.
