Whirlpool 69029108843 Forged Steel Threaded Tee 3/8 in

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL 69029108843 is a 3/8 inch forged steel screwed tee rated at 3000 pounds, manufactured to ASTM A105 carbon steel specifications. This fitting creates a branch connection in a pressurized piping system, splitting or combining flow at a 90-degree lateral outlet. The threaded (screwed) end connections allow tool-only installation without welding, making this fitting suitable for retrofits and service work in tight spaces. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors typically install this type of fitting in industrial, commercial, and high-pressure service piping systems.

This 3000-pound class forged tee is designed for use in moderate- to high-pressure piping systems where a reliable threaded branch connection is required. The A105 carbon steel construction makes it appropriate for steam, water, oil, and gas service lines operating within the pressure and temperature ratings of the fitting class. It is commonly installed in industrial process piping, mechanical rooms, and commercial plumbing systems requiring a durable, code-compliant branch fitting.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch nominal pipe size with full-size threaded outlets on all three ports
• 3000-pound pressure class for moderate- to high-pressure service applications
• Forged ASTM A105 carbon steel construction for durability and pressure integrity
• Screwed (NPT threaded) end connections eliminate the need for field welding
• Compact tee body suited for installations where space is limited

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 3/8 inch threaded piping systems requiring a 3000-pound class carbon steel tee connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes. Depressurize and isolate the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly and tighten to a wrench-tight condition using the appropriate pipe wrenches. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
