Prevost Brass Tee

Description

Prevost Brass Tee

Reliable Flow Distribution for Compressed Air and Fluid Systems

The Prevost Brass Tee is a heavy-duty, industrial-grade fitting designed to create a 90-degree branch in your piping or hose system. Precision-machined from high-quality brass, these tees are the “workhorse” of pneumatic manifolds, lubrication systems, and fluid distribution networks.

Unlike plastic or light-duty fittings, Prevost’s brass construction offers the structural integrity needed to withstand high-pressure spikes, mechanical vibrations, and the demanding conditions of a professional workshop.

Key Features

• Robust Forged Brass Construction: Provides superior strength and durability compared to cast alternatives. Brass is naturally corrosion-resistant, making it suitable for compressed air, water, and inert gas applications.
• Precision Threading: Available in both NPT (tapered) and BSPP/G (parallel) configurations. The threads are cleanly machined to ensure a deep, airtight seal when used with proper thread sealant or PTFE tape.
• Versatile “T” Geometry: Allows you to split a single supply line into two, or combine two lines into one. Ideal for adding a pressure gauge to a line or creating a secondary tool drop-off point.
• High Temperature & Pressure Tolerance: Capable of handling significantly higher temperatures than composite or plastic fittings, making it safe for use near compressors or in high-heat industrial zones.
• Thick-Walled Design: The heavy-duty wall thickness prevents the fitting from cracking under the torque of installation or the stress of heavy hoses pulling on the branches.

Application Guide

• Manifold Construction: Build custom air distribution blocks by linking multiple tees together.
• Instrumentation: Use a tee to install a pressure switch, relief valve, or analog gauge without interrupting the main flow.
• Machine Plumbing: Ideal for routing coolant or lubrication lines within automated machinery where space is tight and reliability is non-negotiable.

Available Variations

Prevost offers these tees in multiple formats to fit your specific plumbing needs:

• Equal Tee: All three ports are the same size.
• Reducing Tee: The branch port is a different size than the run.
• Street Tee: Features one male thread and two female threads for direct mounting into a valve or port.

Most US applications will use NPT.
