About Anderson Metals 06131 Brass Pipe Fitting, Barstock

This Anderson Metals 06131 barstock tee is a brass pipe fitting with 3/8" female NPT and 3/8" male NPT threaded connections. The tee fitting is T-shaped and has three openings to connect and branch three pipes, two on the main run and one branch at a 90-degree angle from the middle of the tee. Pipe dimensions for tees are represented as A x B x C. "A" and "B" indicate the main run on the fitting, and "C" indicates the branch. It has female National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads on both ends of the main run and male NPT threads on the branch outlet for connecting to three threaded pipes or fittings. The NPT threads create a tighter seal than straight threads. This fitting is made of brass for corrosion resistance, ductility at high temperatures, and low magnetic permeability. Brass can be connected to copper, brass, plastic, aluminum, and welded steel. The barstock tee has fair vibration resistance and is suitable in low to medium pressure applications. Pipe fittings are components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in many different industries. When purchasing pipe fittings, consider the application, as this will affect material type, shape, size and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in many shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness). Anderson Metals manufactures brass fittings, valves, and pipe nipples. The company, founded in 1951, is headquartered in Kansas City, MO.
