DELPHI FITTINGS
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.

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
- 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.

- Space-Saving Design: The male x female x female "street tee" configuration eliminates the need for an additional nipple, creating a more compact T-junction.
- Wide Chemical & Temperature Compatibility: Stainless steel is suitable for a broader range of fluids and temperatures than carbon steel.
