DELPHI FITTINGS
Part Number: 5600
NPTF Pipe Male Tee
Product Overview
The Delphi Fittings Part 5600 is an NPTF Pipe Male Tee, expertly designed to create a 90° branch from a main line in fluid systems. This robust fitting features male NPTF (Dryseal) threads on all three ends, allowing for the connection of three female NPTF threaded ports or components. Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel for superior strength and durability, the Part 5600 tee is essential for splitting flow or integrating additional lines into hydraulic, pneumatic, and various industrial piping applications, ensuring secure and leak-resistant connections.

Commonly Available Sizes (Part #5600 Series)
Delphi Fittings offers the NPTF Pipe Male Tee in various standard NPTF sizes. Straight tees typically feature the same NPTF male thread size on all three ends (Run x Run x Branch). Reducing tees (where the branch or run sizes differ) may also be available.
Common straight tee sizes include (Male NPTF x Male NPTF x Male NPTF):
- 5600-02: 1/8" x 1/8" x 1/8"
- 5600-04: 1/4" x 1/4" x 1/4"
- 5600-06: 3/8" x 3/8" x 3/8"
- 5600-08: 1/2" x 1/2" x 1/2"
- 5600-12: 3/4" x 3/4" x 3/4"

Applications
The Part 5600 NPTF Pipe Male Tee is essential for various applications requiring the division or merging of fluid paths:
- Splitting a single fluid line into two separate lines at a 90-degree angle.
- Adding a branch line for gauges, sensors, or auxiliary equipment to a main hydraulic or pneumatic line.
- Connecting to three female-threaded components such as valves, manifolds, or ported blocks.
- Use in industrial machinery, automotive fluid systems, agricultural equipment, and construction vehicles.
- General plumbing and piping in manufacturing and processing plants.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
- Inspect all threads (the three male ends of the tee and the mating female ports) for cleanliness and any damage before assembly.
- Hand-thread the tee into the female ports to ensure proper alignment and prevent cross-threading.
- Use appropriately sized wrenches on the body of the tee or designated wrench flats to tighten the connections securely.
- NPTF Dryseal threads are designed to seal without sealant. However, for very high pressures or when mating with standard NPT female threads, a compatible thread sealant or lubricant may be applied to the male threads of the tee to improve sealing and prevent galling.
- Careful tightening is required to achieve a secure, leak-proof seal on all three connections.
