NPTF Pipe Branch Tee (Stainless Steel) - Part 5605-SS

Part Number: 5605-SS

NPTF Pipe Branch Tee (Stainless Steel)

Product Overview

The Delphi Fittings Part 5605-SS is a standard configuration branch tee adapter, precision-machined from high-quality stainless steel (typically Grade 316 SS). This fitting is designed to create a 90-degree branch from a main line, with a specific combination of male and female NPTF (National Pipe Taper Fuel / Dryseal) threads. This versatile configuration allows for complex plumbing solutions within a single component. The use of stainless steel ensures superior resistance to corrosion and chemicals, making this tee ideal for demanding applications in marine, food processing, chemical, and other harsh environments.

Key Features & Specifications

Material High-Grade Stainless Steel (Typically 316 SS for superior corrosion resistance)
Configuration Tee with NPTF threads. The specific gender (Male/Female) of each of the three ports can vary; must be verified for the specific part number (e.g., Male x Female x Male).
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 #5605-SS Series)

Delphi Fittings offers the 5605-SS Stainless Steel NPTF Branch Tee in various common nominal pipe sizes and configurations. The size is typically specified as Run x Run x Branch.

Example Configuration:

  • 5605-04-SS: A common 1/4" NPTF tee configuration.
  • 5605-08-SS: A common 1/2" NPTF tee configuration.

Note: This part number series represents various branch tee configurations. It is crucial to confirm the specific run and branch end types (Male/Female) and sizes when ordering. For unlisted sizes, different stainless steel grades (e.g., 304), or other custom requirements, please contact our sales team.

Applications

The Part 5605-SS Stainless Steel Branch Tee is ideal for:

  • Creating a branch in a stainless steel piping system, particularly for adding gauges, sensors, or auxiliary lines.
  • 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 where carbon steel fittings would not be suitable.
  • Providing a strong, durable, and leak-resistant T-junction for stainless steel piping systems.

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 ports, a compatible sealant (like PTFE tape) is also required.
  • Thread the fittings into the tee by hand until snug, ensuring correct alignment.
  • Use appropriate wrenches on the body of the tee and on the mating fittings to tighten securely. Avoid over-tightening to prevent damage.
