Part Number: 5605

NPTF Pipe Branch Tee

Product Overview

The Delphi Fittings Part 5605 is an NPTF Pipe Branch Tee, representing a standard configuration for creating 90° branches in hydraulic and pneumatic lines using NPTF (Dryseal) connections. This fitting typically features female NPTF threads on all three ports (Run x Run x Branch), making it an "equal female tee" ideal for connecting three male NPTF threaded pipes or fittings. Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel for strength and zinc-plated for corrosion resistance, the Part 5605 provides a reliable and common solution for splitting or merging fluid paths.

Key Features & Specifications

Material	High-Grade Carbon Steel
Thread Type	Typically Female NPTF (Dryseal) on all three ends (Run x Run x Branch). (ANSI B1.20.3, SAE J476)
Configuration	T-Shape, for 90° branch connections. Standard configuration often implies equal female ports.
Sealing Mechanism	NPTF Dryseal threads provide a metal-to-metal seal with mating male NPTF threads.
Corrosion Protection	Standard Zinc Plating for enhanced durability.
Primary Function	To create a 90° branch by connecting three male NPTF pipes or fittings.
Working Pressure	Suitable for a range of hydraulic and pneumatic system pressures, dependent on size and application.
Temperature Range	Designed for standard operating temperatures in typical fluid power systems.

Commonly Available Configurations & Sizes (Part #5605 Series)

The NPTF Pipe Branch Tee (Part #5605), when referring to a standard configuration, often implies an equal female tee. Common sizes typically feature the same Female NPTF thread size on all three ports (Run x Run x Branch).

Examples of Female NPTF x Female NPTF x Female NPTF configurations:

5605-02: 1/8" F x 1/8" F x 1/8" F NPTF
5605-04: 1/4" F x 1/4" F x 1/4" F NPTF
5605-06: 3/8" F x 3/8" F x 3/8" F NPTF
5605-08: 1/2" F x 1/2" F x 1/2" F NPTF
5605-12: 3/4" F x 3/4" F x 3/4" F NPTF
5605-16: 1" F x 1" F x 1" F NPTF

Note: The description "A standard tee configuration" can sometimes cover other variations. If a reducing female tee (e.g., 1/4" F x 1/4" F x 1/8" F) or a tee with differing genders is needed under this part number series, it is essential to confirm the exact configuration with our sales team. For tees with specifically male branches or street tee configurations, see parts 5604 or 5602 respectively. Part 5600 covers all-male tees. For unlisted configurations, please contact our sales team.

Applications

The Part 5605 NPTF Pipe Branch Tee (standard female configuration) is widely used for:

Joining three male-ended pipes or fittings at a 90-degree junction.
Splitting a flow from one male source to two male-ended outlets.
Combining flows from two male-ended sources into one male-ended outlet.
Hydraulic power units, pneumatic systems, and industrial piping.
Manifold construction and fluid distribution networks.
General plumbing and fluid transfer applications requiring NPTF connections.

Installation & Usage Guidelines

Ensure all threads (the three female ports of the tee and the mating male fittings) are clean, undamaged, and free of debris.
Hand-thread the male NPTF fittings into each port of the tee to ensure proper alignment and avoid cross-threading.
Use appropriate wrenches on the body of the tee and/or on the mating male fittings to tighten all connections securely.
NPTF Dryseal threads are designed to seal without sealant. However, if mating with standard NPT male threads, it's advisable to apply a compatible thread sealant to the male threads to ensure a leak-proof connection.
Tighten all three connections adequately to achieve a secure and leak-free assembly.
