TDX156 - 1/4 Inch NPT Extruded Brass Male Branch Tee Fitting

Precision Engineered Extruded Brass Branch Tee

The TDX156 Branch Tee is a premium-grade pipe fitting designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial and commercial fluid transfer systems. Manufactured from extruded brass, this component offers significant structural advantages over traditional cast fittings. The extrusion process creates a material with a tighter grain structure, resulting in higher density, reduced porosity, and superior tensile strength. This makes the TDX156 an exceptional choice for applications requiring high reliability, such as pneumatic control systems, hydraulic lines, and industrial gas distribution manifolds.

This fitting features a 1/4-inch National Pipe Taper (NPT) thread configuration, specifically designed as a "Male Branch" tee. In this configuration, the branch outlet—the port extending 90 degrees from the main run—typically utilizes a male thread, facilitating direct connection to female ports on regulators, valves, or cylinders. The run ports are precision-machined to ensure compatibility with standard 1/4-inch piping, allowing for seamless integration into existing infrastructure. The accuracy of the threading ensures that, when applied with the correct thread sealant or Teflon tape, the fitting maintains a hermetic seal even under fluctuating pressures.

Corrosion resistance is a hallmark of the brass construction, allowing this tee to withstand exposure to moisture, cooling fluids, and various industrial chemicals without degrading. It is well-suited for both indoor and outdoor environments where temperature variations might otherwise compromise lesser materials. Whether utilized in the assembly of complex instrumentation panels or simple shop air distribution, the TDX156 delivers consistent performance. Its robust design minimizes the risk of cracking during installation, a common issue with lower-quality cast components, providing maintenance teams and engineers with peace of mind.

In summary, the TDX156 1/4" Extruded Male Branch Tee combines durability, precision, and versatility. It is an essential component for MRO professionals looking to maintain the integrity of their piping systems while ensuring efficient flow characteristics and long-term operational safety.
