Stainless Steel Female Branch Tee – 3/8" Tube OD x 1/4" FNPT | ANSI B31.1 Certified

This 3/8″ tube OD x 1/4″ female NPT branch tee is designed to provide secure directional flow and clean transitions between compression tubing and threaded connections. Built from 316 stainless steel and manufactured to ANSI B31.1 standards, it combines corrosion resistance with the strength needed for process-critical environments. The dual connection style—compression ensures versatility across both sanitary and industrial system builds.

Engineered for long-term reliability, this component is widely deployed in Clean-in-Place (CIP) installations, gas sampling systems, and OEM skids where dependable sealing is essential. Its precision-machined threads provide tight, repeatable engagement, while the compression side delivers a vibration-resistant, metal-to-metal seal without requiring sealants. The compact body is especially useful for confined layouts, allowing engineers to maximize space efficiency while maintaining accessibility for service.

Common applications include biotech laboratories, food and beverage process lines, and high-purity gas systems. By supporting both hygienic and rugged industrial environments, this fitting helps maintain consistent performance across a broad spectrum of service conditions. Whether it’s isolating flow in a test panel, routing clean fluids in a process loop, or tying into sanitary piping assemblies, it offers leak-tight dependability and integration flexibility.
