Equal female/female/female stainless steel 316

The Stainless Steel 316 Equal Tee (F/F/F): The Ultimate Bypass Solution in Demanding Environments

Extending or creating a fluid network requires fittings that provide both exceptional chemical resistance and maximum structural integrity. The Equal Female/Female/Female Tee in 316 stainless steel is the essential part for making a 90-degree bypass on a line of the same diameter. This "three-way" connection allows a flow to be divided or collected in a uniform and secure way. Designed without reduction, it ensures optimal flow in all three directions. Forget about band-aid solutions; This 316 stainless steel tee is specifically manufactured for the most hostile environments: it is the absolute reference for industry, water treatment, chemistry and agri-food.

316 Stainless Steel: Chemical Robustness and Extended Thermal Range

The choice of material is the element that distinguishes this fitting from the competition. It is made of AISI 316 Stainless Steel, a superior quality austenitic steel, reinforced with molybdenum. This chemical composition gives the Tee remarkable resistance to corrosion by chlorides and acids, making it ideally suited for marine environments, harsh chemicals and hot fluids.

• Thermal Performance: Unlike other metals or plastics, 316 stainless steel manages an extreme temperature range, from -20°C to +220°C. This capability makes it versatile, from cryogenics to industrial steam systems.

• Industrial Pressure: Manufactured according to ISO 4144 standard, this tee guarantees high structural performance with a Pressure Rating (PN) of 20 bar. This resistance allows it to be confidently integrated into high-pressure water, air, inert gas or chemical distribution networks.

BSPT Threaded Connection: A Precision Conical Assembly

Sealing in industrial systems is non-negotiable. This equal tee uses a thread standard designed to optimize mechanical sealing during mounting.

• Thread Standard: The connections are threaded according to ISO 7-1 (BSPT), also known as gas threading. This standard is characterized by tapered (R) and cylindrical (Rp) female ends.

• Sealing mechanism: This type of tapered thread allows, thanks to the addition of a sealant (such as joint paste or PTFE), to ensure an increased seal as the threads are tightened. This ensures an ultra-reliable installation, which is essential in environments where vibration or thermal shock is frequent.

Structure F/F/F Equal: Applications and Flexibility

The tee is by definition a point of junction or deviation. This model, characterized by its three female outlets of equal diameter, is perfect for connecting three male threads of the same size.

Professional use cases:

• Creation of Collectors: Assemble distribution lines from a central point in a machine room or compressed air system.

• Instrumentation: Create a bypass point to install a pressure gauge (via an M/M nipple) or sampling valve without disturbing the main line.

• Closed circuits: To provide bypass for a discharge loop or bypass on a heating or industrial cooling circuit.

• Special Environments: Used in the food industry for cleaning networks (hot water, disinfectants) thanks to the ease of cleaning of 316 stainless steel and in the nautical industry for its resistance to salt water.

The Equal F/F/F tee is especially useful when most of your equipment and in-line connections use male threads.
