DELPHI FITTINGS
Part Number: 5602
NPTF Pipe Street Tee
Product Overview
The Delphi Fittings Part 5602 is an NPTF Pipe Street Tee, also known as a street T-fitting or service T-fitting. It is engineered for versatile connections within fluid systems, typically featuring one male NPTF (Dryseal) end and two female NPTF (Dryseal) ends. This unique configuration allows the male end to be directly threaded into a component or port, while the two female ends (often one on the run and one on the branch) can accept male NPTF pipes or fittings. Constructed from high-quality carbon steel and zinc-plated for corrosion resistance, the Part 5602 Street Tee provides a compact and efficient solution for branching lines directly from a threaded port or component.
Key Features & Specifications
| Material | High-Grade Carbon Steel |
|---|---|
| Thread Configuration | Typically one Male NPTF (External) end and two Female NPTF (Internal) ends. Common configuration: Male (Run) x Female (Run) x Female (Branch) NPTF. (ANSI B1.20.3, SAE J476) |
| Configuration | T-Shape, for 90° branch connections. |
| Sealing Mechanism | NPTF Dryseal threads provide a metal-to-metal seal. |
| Corrosion Protection | Standard Zinc Plating for enhanced durability. |
| Primary Function | To create versatile 90° branch connections, often allowing direct mounting to a port while providing two female outlets. |
| Working Pressure | Suitable for a range of hydraulic and pneumatic system pressures, dependent on size and specific configuration. |
| Temperature Range | Designed for standard operating temperatures in typical fluid power systems. |
Commonly Available Configurations & Sizes (Part #5602 Series)
The NPTF Pipe Street Tee (Part #5602) is available in various sizes. The typical configuration is one male NPTF end and two female NPTF ends. Sizing is generally specified for all three ports (e.g., Male Run x Female Run x Female Branch).
Common examples include (Male NPTF x Female NPTF x Female NPTF):
- 5602-02: 1/8" M x 1/8" F x 1/8" F NPTF
- 5602-04: 1/4" M x 1/4" F x 1/4" F NPTF
- 5602-06: 3/8" M x 3/8" F x 3/8" F NPTF
- 5602-08: 1/2" M x 1/2" F x 1/2" F NPTF
- 5602-12: 3/4" M x 3/4" F x 3/4" F NPTF
- 5602-16: 1" M x 1" F x 1" F NPTF
Note: Other configurations, such as reducing sizes on the female ports, may be available. Always confirm the specific port configurations and sizes when ordering. For unlisted configurations, please contact our sales team.
Applications
The Part 5602 NPTF Pipe Street Tee offers unique advantages in various applications:
- Connecting directly to a female port on a manifold, pump, or valve, and then providing two female NPTF outlets for further connections.
- Installation of gauges or sensors (via a male-threaded adapter into one female port) while allowing flow-through or another branch.
- Compact plumbing in hydraulic power units, pneumatic control panels, and industrial machinery.
- Automotive fluid systems where space is limited and versatile connections are needed.
- Simplifying complex piping arrangements by reducing the number of required fittings.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
- Verify the thread types (NPTF) and genders of all connecting ports and fittings.
- Ensure all threads are clean, undamaged, and free of contaminants before assembly.
- Thread the male end of the street tee into the mating female port, hand-tightening first to ensure alignment.
- Use an appropriate wrench on the body of the tee to tighten the male end into the port, achieving the desired orientation for the female outlets.
- Connect male NPTF pipes or fittings to the female NPTF ports of the street tee, hand-tightening initially, then using wrenches.
- NPTF Dryseal threads are designed to seal without sealant. If mating with standard NPT threads, apply a compatible thread sealant to the male NPT threads.
- Ensure all connections are tightened securely to create leak-proof seals.
