Value Collection SS-MBT-FT8-MN8 Compression Male Branch Tee

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS-MBT-FT8-MN8 is a stainless steel compression male branch tee designed for tubing systems that require a three-way connection with a threaded male outlet. Constructed from 316-grade stainless steel, this fitting meets multiple ASTM and DIN standards for material quality and dimensional integrity. The compression-style end connections allow for a secure, leak-resistant seal on 1/2 inch outside diameter tubing, while the male NPT end provides a threaded connection to a mating female port. With an overall length of 1.42 inches, it is compact enough for tight plumbing and instrumentation layouts. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians are the typical installers of this fitting.

This branch tee is suited for use in fluid handling, instrumentation, and process piping applications where stainless steel corrosion resistance and reliable mechanical connections are required. It is appropriate for both industrial and commercial installations involving tubing runs that need a branch takeoff combined with a male threaded port. The fitting is sold individually and is well-suited for retrofit or new-construction tubing assemblies.

Key Features

• Fits 1/2 inch outside diameter tubing with a 1/2 MPT male threaded outlet
• Overall length of 1.42 inches for compact inline installation
• Meets ASTM A182, ASTM A213, ASTM A269, ASTM A276, ASTM A479, DIN EN10122-5, and DIN EN10272 standards
• NPT thread standard for compatibility with standard pipe fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation compression branch tee for 1/2 inch outside diameter tubing systems using standard NPT threaded connections in fluid handling and instrumentation applications. Cross-references to Swagelok part number SS-810-3-8TTM.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable IPC or process piping codes. Shut off all fluid supply and depressurize the tubing system completely before removing or installing any compression fitting. Ensure tubing ends are cut square, deburred, and free of contamination before seating into the compression fitting body. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as this can deform the ferrule and compromise the seal.
