Value Collection 4TB1/4 Pipe Tee 1/4 Inch Ss Threaded

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4TB1/4 is a 1/4-inch threaded pipe tee constructed from 304 stainless steel for reliable performance in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial piping systems. The tee connects one male NPT (MNPT) inlet to two female NPT (FNPT) outlets, allowing a single line to split or branch in a straight run. It carries a 150 psi pressure rating and meets Schedule 40 dimensional standards. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this fitting when tapping into existing threaded lines or building new branch connections in corrosion-resistant piping assemblies.

This fitting suits residential and commercial applications where a compact 1/4-inch branch connection is required. Common install scenarios include instrument air lines, refrigerant oil drain taps, condensate piping, and water supply branches. The 304 stainless steel construction resists rust and chemical attack, making it suitable for wet environments and mildly corrosive media. The MNPT x FNPT x FNPT end configuration allows direct engagement with standard NPT-threaded pipe, nipples, and valves without adapters.

Key Features

• 304 stainless steel body resists corrosion in wet and mildly corrosive service environments
• 150 psi pressure rating suitable for low- to medium-pressure threaded piping systems
• Schedule 40 dimensions for consistent fitment with standard NPT fittings and pipe
• MNPT x FNPT x FNPT end connections allow straight-through branching without additional adapters
• Compact 1/4-inch size fits tight spaces in instrument, refrigeration, and plumbing lines

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard 1/4-inch NPT threaded piping systems rated to 150 psi.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing any existing fittings or threading in the new tee. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as stainless steel threads are susceptible to galling.
