1/4" Stainless Steel Tee Female NPT Threaded T Shaped 3 Way Cast Pipe Fitting SS304

Very durable good product for the money.

this solved a recurring issue i was having where a PVC tee would split anytime i threaded in my hose bib. Probably a defective bib as i have PVC on other connections without issues. however, this is a very nicely machined 304 stainless TEE that went together great and doesnt leak.

Threads are cut incorrectly. A fitting will screw into the tee until it bottoms out. A seal will not be established. The threads are parallel. When looking at a male tapered thread you will see the end diameter is smaller. There is no taper in the female threads of the tee explaining why it "bottoms out". This taper provides the seal. When properly tapered or machined, the joint will not leak. Most of us though, apply a sealant(i.e. Teflon tape) to aid in or ensure a leak free joint. GOOD NEWS: very clean casting . SAME ISSUE WITH OTHER SIZES: Many customers have had same issue but other sizes.

Nice quality stainless steel tee. If it starts to rust down the road I'll come back and modify my review. But for now five stars.

Threads were cut so deep that the fittings I was using bottomed out before they sealed. This was on all three sides of this so it was not just one fitting it was the tee. No amount of Teflon tape would help. Cost me several hours of work to try to get it to seal.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Because it was what I needed

Used in a water well.

This was a re order, the first one i ordered had a hairline crack in it and leaked. We will see how the second one goes. Quality is what you would expect for the price Meehhhh

Not yet installed for worry the T may not work for 5000 psi ?

Producto exacto a descripción

This is not a schedule 40 fitting and the threads are loose meaning you could bottom out the nipple or pipe before its tight.
