Value Collection 993-016NL Compression Tube Tee 3/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 993-016NL is a brass compression tube tee designed for joining three-way connections in potable water plumbing systems. It features female iron pipe (FIP) threads on one end and standard compression fittings on the remaining connections, all sized at 3/8 inch. The all-brass construction offers solid corrosion resistance in wet service environments. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers and experienced trades professionals working on residential or light commercial water supply lines where a reliable tee connection is required.

This compression tee is suited for use on hot and cold water supply lines in residential plumbing applications. It is a compact, single-piece fitting appropriate for new construction, renovation, or repair work where a branch connection must be made to an existing 3/8 inch line. The FIP end accepts standard threaded pipe, while the compression ends allow tool-free tubing connection, making it a practical choice for tight-clearance installs.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before disassembling any fittings. Ensure the compression sleeve and nut are properly seated on the tubing before tightening — overtightening compression fittings can deform the sleeve and cause leaks. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the FIP connection per standard practice.
