SPD Series Stainless Steel Male Run Tee Fittings

Features & Key Specifications

Features & Key Specifications of Our SPD Series:

In-Line Branch Connection:

The male run tee design allows you to create a threaded port anywhere along a run of tubing, perfect for adding components or creating branch circuits without cutting the main line.

360° Swivel for Easy Installation:

The threaded body can be tightened independently, allowing the main tee body to be rotated a full 360 degrees. This makes it incredibly easy to position the threaded port in the exact orientation required.

Premium Stainless Steel Construction:

Available in both 304 and 316 stainless steel, these fittings offer exceptional resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and high temperatures.

Comprehensive Size & Thread Options:

We stock a full range of sizes to fit any system.

Tube OD (Metric): 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 16mm

Tube OD (Inch): 5/32", 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 1/2"

Port Sizes: M5, 1/8", 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4" in NPT, BSPP (G), and BSPT (P) threads.

Food-Grade & Oil-Free Design:

Application Fields

Tapping Into Your Air Line with Precision:

Installing Gauges & Sensors: The perfect fitting for adding a pressure gauge or sensor to monitor pressure in the middle of a line.

Creating Sub-Circuits: Tapping off a main air line to supply a smaller, secondary pneumatic circuit.

Food & Beverage Machinery: A hygienic stainless steel swivel tee for adding monitoring points or branch lines on processing equipment.

Test & Measurement Setups: Providing convenient, adjustable connection points in laboratory or R&D test rigs.

Technical & Selection Guide

Run Tee (SPD) vs. Branch Tee (SPB): Which Do I Need?

Choose this Run Tee (SPD) if: You want a tube to pass straight through the fitting, and you need to add a threaded connection branching off at a 90-degree angle.

Choose a Branch Tee (SPB) if: You want to screw the fitting into a threaded port and have it split the flow into two tube lines.

FAQ

Frequently Asked questions

Q: What does "swivel run tee" mean?

A: It means after you tighten the male thread into a component (like a pressure gauge), you can still rotate the entire tee body 360 degrees. This allows you to align the two straight-through tube ports in any direction.

Q: Are the two straight-through tube connections the same size?

A: Yes, on a standard run tee, both push-in ports are for the same tube diameter.

Q: Can this fitting be used to join two different sizes of tubes?

A: No, this is a run tee for a single tube size. To connect two different tube sizes, you would need a Reducer Union fitting.
