1″ x 3/4″ Solid Union Tank Tee – Heavy-Duty Brass Fitting for Pressure Tank Installations
The 1″ x 3/4″ Solid Tank Tee with Union is a precision-machined, lead-free brass fitting designed for use in pressure tank plumbing systems. This fitting combines a 1″ male NPT inlet and a 3/4″ side outlet with an integrated union, allowing for secure, leak-resistant connections and simplified service access in confined mechanical spaces.
Commonly installed at the base of vertical pressure tanks, this fitting provides attachment points for pressure switches, gauges, relief valves, and system drains. Its union joint enables easy disassembly without cutting pipe, facilitating routine maintenance or equipment replacement.
Key Performance Features
- Material: Lead-free brass, certified for potable water systems
- Connection Size: 1″ male NPT x 3/4″ side outlet
- Configuration: Solid tank tee with integrated union
- Pressure Rating: Suitable for standard cold-water pressure systems
- Finish: Natural brass with corrosion resistance
Installation Guidelines
This fitting is intended for horizontal or vertical installation in pressurized plumbing systems. Teflon tape or approved thread sealant should be used on male threads to ensure a watertight connection. The union design must be properly aligned and torqued to specification to maintain integrity under pressure. Final installation should conform to applicable local plumbing codes.
Recommended Use Cases
- Well pressure tank plumbing assemblies
- Tank tee layouts with pressure switches, relief valves, and drain ports
- Potable water supply lines where serviceability is required
Contractor Advantages
- Prevents system downtime during maintenance via union disconnect
- Precision NPT threading minimizes risk of leakage under load
- Lead-free certification for use in residential and commercial potable systems
- Reliable fit and seal integrity for long-term system performance
