Introducing the Smith-Cooper 1/8 in. FPT X 1/8 in. D FPT 1/8 in. D FPT Stainless Steel Tee—a compact, three-port connector designed to streamline tight plumbing, pneumatic, and instrumentation runs. With three equal 1/8" ports, this stainless steel tee lets you split or combine small-diameter flow without compromising strength or reliability.
Why this tee stands out: the all-stainless construction delivers impressive corrosion resistance and durability in challenging environments, from workshop benches and labs to beverage equipment and automotive test rigs. The three FPT (female pipe thread) ends ensure secure, leak-resistant connections when paired with standard 1/8" female fittings, making it a dependable choice for precision piping and instrumentation circuits.
Key benefits
- Three equal 1/8" ports with FPT threading for straightforward 3-way branching in compact layouts.
- Durable stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance and reliable temperature handling in water, air, oil, and chemical lines.
- Precise machining and fit ensure consistent thread engagement and a tight seal with compatible 1/8" female fittings.
- Compact footprint makes it ideal for confined spaces, panel-mounted manifolds, or equipment enclosures where space is at a premium.
- Versatile for low-volume fluid and gas systems, instrumentation runs, pneumatics, laboratory setups, and small-scale beverage or HVAC projects.
Who it’s for
Engineers, hobbyists, and technicians working with small-bore piping or tubing will appreciate the Smith-Cooper 1/8 in. stainless steel tee for adding a branch or combining lines without stepping up to larger fittings. It’s especially useful in instrumentation panels, bench-top experiments, and setups where material compatibility and leak-free performance matter most.
Installation tips
- Ensure threads and mating surfaces are clean before assembly.
- Use appropriate pipe thread sealant rated for stainless steel and 1/8" FPT connections to promote a reliable seal.
- Grip fittings by hand first, then finish with a light torque to avoid thread damage or over-tightening.
- Inspect for leaks after initial pressurization and re-tighten as needed following manufacturer guidelines.
