NPTF Pipe Street Tee (Stainless Steel) - Part 5602-SS

Part Number: 5602-SS

NPTF Pipe Street Tee (Stainless Steel)

Product Overview

The Delphi Fittings Part 5602-SS is a versatile "street tee" designed for creating a compact T-junction in fluid systems. This fitting typically features one male NPTF (National Pipe Taper Fuel / Dryseal) thread and two female NPTF threads. This configuration allows a male fitting to be connected directly to one of the run ports without the need for an additional nipple, saving space and reducing a potential leak path. Manufactured from premium stainless steel (typically Grade 316 SS), this street tee offers exceptional resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and extreme temperatures, making it an excellent choice for demanding applications in marine, chemical processing, food and beverage, and other harsh environments.

Key Features & Specifications

Material High-Grade Stainless Steel (Typically 316 SS for superior corrosion resistance)
Configuration Street Tee, typically with one male NPTF end and two female NPTF ends (conforming to ANSI B1.20.3 / SAE J476). The specific location of the male end (run or branch) can vary.
Body Style Tee Fitting, typically with hex or flat features for wrench engagement.
Galling Warning: Stainless steel threads are prone to galling (cold-welding). Using a thread lubricant or anti-galling paste compatible with stainless steel on all mating male threads is highly recommended to prevent thread damage during assembly.

Commonly Available Sizes (Part #5602-SS Series)

Delphi Fittings offers the 5602-SS Stainless Steel NPTF Street Tee in a range of common nominal pipe sizes, with all three ports typically being the same size.

Examples include:

  • 5602-02-SS: 1/8" NPTF Street Tee
  • 5602-04-SS: 1/4" NPTF Street Tee
  • 5602-06-SS: 3/8" NPTF Street Tee
  • 5602-08-SS: 1/2" NPTF Street Tee

Note: For unlisted sizes, different stainless steel grades (e.g., 304), or other custom requirements, please contact our sales team.

Applications

The Part 5602-SS Stainless Steel Street Tee is ideal for:

  • Creating a compact T-junction in a piping system, especially where space is limited and eliminating a nipple is advantageous.
  • Adding a pressure gauge, sensor, or sampling valve directly into a line.
  • Use in marine and offshore hydraulic systems, chemical processing plants, food and beverage facilities, pharmaceutical production, and water treatment systems.
  • Applications involving corrosive fluids, high humidity, saltwater spray, or frequent cleaning cycles.

Installation & Usage Guidelines

  • Ensure all mating threads are meticulously clean and free from any damage or contaminants.
  • It is highly recommended to apply a thread lubricant or anti-galling paste suitable for stainless steel to all male threads being connected. If mating with standard NPT threads, a compatible sealant (like PTFE tape) is also required.
  • Thread the male and female ends of the tee to their respective mating components by hand until snug.
  • Use appropriate wrenches on the body of the tee and on the mating fittings to tighten securely. Tighten until a leak-proof seal is achieved, but avoid over-tightening.

Why Choose Delphi Fittings Part 5602-SS?

  • Superior Corrosion Resistance: Manufactured from high-grade stainless steel (typically 316 SS), offering maximum durability in harsh environments.
