Anderson Metals 3/8 in. FPT x 3/8 in. FPT x 3/8 in. FPT Red Brass Tee is a compact, three-way plumbing fitting engineered to reliably split or merge 3/8" lines. Crafted from lead-free red brass, this tee combines durable performance with corrosion resistance, making it a smart choice for tight-space installations and everyday piping projects.
-
Three 3/8" FPT ports provide versatile branching in a single compact fitting, simplifying manifold-style configurations and reducing the need for additional adapters.
-
Lead-free red brass body delivers safe potable-water compatibility while standing up to routine use in household and workshop environments.
-
Standard female pipe thread (FPT) on all ends ensures broad compatibility with common 3/8" male-threaded fittings and streamlined installation when paired with appropriate sealants.
-
Distinct red finish not only adds a clean, identifiable look but also helps with quick visual identification in complex assemblies.
-
Sold as a single piece (Number in Package: 1), making it easy to plan replacements or add to a parts inventory without surprises.
-
Not ANSI certified — suitable for applications where formal certification isn’t required, while delivering dependable brass performance.
Ideal uses and practical applications
This three-way red brass tee is well-suited for residential plumbing projects, small-diameter distribution runs, and DIY installations where a clean 3/8" branching point is needed. Use it to:
- Create a simple three-way connection off a 3/8" line in potable-water or light-duty non-potable plumbing scenarios.
- Distribute water to multiple outlets in a compact framework, such as under sinks, in laundry areas, or in utility rooms.
- Integrate into drip irrigation setups or small-scale pneumatic/air systems that utilize 3/8" FPT fittings.
- Replace worn or corroded tees in existing brass pipelines without a full rework of surrounding hardware.
Installation tips for a reliable seal
- Prepare threads properly: clean and deburr male threads before assembly.
- Use an appropriate thread sealant: PTFE tape or pipe dope formulated for brass threads to prevent leaks.
- Do not over-tighten: snug the connection and give a slight additional turn to avoid cross-threading or galling the brass.
- Inspect after assembly: check for any seepage during a slow pressure test, then tighten as needed.
