Part Number: 5604

NPTF Male Pipe Branch Tee

Product Overview

The Delphi Fittings Part 5604 is an NPTF Male Pipe Branch Tee, a specialized fitting designed with a male NPTF (Dryseal) thread on its 90° branch connection. This configuration allows for a direct male connection from the branch, while the two in-line run ends can vary (typically both female NPTF, or both male NPTF, or a combination) to accommodate diverse system requirements. Constructed from high-quality carbon steel and zinc-plated for corrosion resistance, this tee fitting is ideal for creating a secure, leak-resistant male take-off point from a main fluid line in hydraulic, pneumatic, and other industrial applications.

Key Features & Specifications

Material	High-Grade Carbon Steel
Branch Thread Type	Male NPTF (Dryseal) (ANSI B1.20.3, SAE J476)
Run End Thread Types	Variable; commonly Female NPTF x Female NPTF, or Male NPTF x Male NPTF. Specific configuration must be verified.
Configuration	T-Shape, for 90° branch connections with a male branch.
Sealing Mechanism	NPTF Dryseal threads provide a metal-to-metal seal.
Corrosion Protection	Standard Zinc Plating for enhanced durability.
Primary Function	To create a 90° branch with a male NPTF connection from a main line.
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 #5604 Series)

The NPTF Male Pipe Branch Tee (Part #5604) is available in various sizes, with the defining feature being the male NPTF branch. Sizing is typically specified as Run x Run x Branch. Common examples include:

Configuration: Female (Run) x Female (Run) x Male (Branch) NPTF
- e.g., 1/4" F x 1/4" F x 1/4" M NPTF
- e.g., 3/8" F x 3/8" F x 1/4" M NPTF (Reducing Branch)
- e.g., 1/2" F x 1/2" F x 1/2" M NPTF
Configuration: Male (Run) x Male (Run) x Male (Branch) NPTF (All Male Tee - See Part 5600 for standard equal male tee)
- This configuration is essentially an equal male tee (Part 5600) if all sizes are the same. Part 5604 specifically highlights the male branch, so it may imply different run configurations or reducing male branches from male runs.

Note: The description "Tee fitting with a male NPTF thread on the 90° branch connection" implies various run end combinations are possible. Always confirm the specific run end configuration (Male/Female) and sizes when ordering. For unlisted configurations, please contact our sales team.

Applications

The Part 5604 NPTF Male Pipe Branch Tee is well-suited for applications where a male-threaded branch is required:

Connecting a hose assembly or component with a female NPTF swivel directly to the branch.
Providing a male take-off point for pressure switches, transducers, or other instruments.
Use in hydraulic manifolds where a male branch output is needed from a run.
Pneumatic systems requiring direct connection of devices to a branch line.
Industrial machinery, automotive systems, and agricultural equipment.

Installation & Usage Guidelines

Verify the thread types (NPTF) and genders (Male/Female) of all connecting ports and fittings. The branch of this tee is male NPTF.
Ensure all threads are clean, undamaged, and free of debris before assembly.
Hand-thread all connections first to ensure proper alignment and prevent cross-threading.
Use appropriate wrenches on the body of the tee and on the mating fittings to tighten securely.
NPTF Dryseal threads are designed to seal without sealant. However, if the mating female port for the male branch (or other male ends) is standard NPT, or for very high pressures, a compatible thread sealant should be applied to the male NPTF threads.
Carefully tighten to achieve a secure, leak-proof seal on all three connections, ensuring correct orientation of the branch.
