Product description
The Stainless Steel NPT Female Branch Tee is a branch tee in 316L stainless steel, forged from one piece. It carries an NPT male end and an NPT male end and an NPT female end. Stainless steel is chosen where corrosion rules out zinc-plated carbon steel: offshore and marine lines, chemical, fertiliser and petroleum plant, and food, beverage and pharmaceutical process equipment.
Construction
- Body: branch tee
- End 1: NPT male
- End 2: NPT male
- End 3: NPT female
- Material: 316L stainless steel, forged
Ends and sealing
- NPT: taper pipe thread that seals on the thread flanks, with sealant or tape; ASME B1.20.1.
