Stainless Steel Female Tee – 1/2 in. FNPT Pipe Size (IFT-8N)

This 1/2″ FNPT pipe-size tee is engineered for reliable performance in demanding fluid and gas systems where both pressure and temperature resilience are required. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, it combines strength with corrosion resistance, ensuring dependable operation even in aggressive chemical and industrial environments. The precision-machined FNPT threads provide a secure, leak-tight seal, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs in process-critical applications.

With a pressure rating up to 5100 PSIG, this fitting is suitable for use in chemical transfer systems, Clean-in-Place (CIP) infrastructure, gas distribution networks, and high-purity liquid service lines. Its three-port design allows for smooth branching of process lines without disrupting flow or reducing overall pressure integrity, making it a versatile solution for both new system builds and retrofit projects.

The compact, well-balanced body makes installation easier in tight layouts, providing flexibility for skid-mounted systems, OEM equipment, and sanitary loop configurations. By delivering consistent sealing under vibration and thermal cycling, this tee ensures process reliability where failure is not an option.
