JB T2-8 1/2" SAE Three-Way Tee

The JB T2-8 1/2" SAE Three-Way Tee is a professional-grade flare fitting designed for high-pressure refrigeration and air conditioning applications. Machined from heavy-duty brass forgings, this tee provides exceptional tensile strength and eliminates the risk of stress cracks under extreme operating conditions. Featuring all flared ends, it is engineered to meet SAE J513 standards, ensuring a reliable, leak-proof mechanical seal without the need for brazing. This brass tee fitting is highly versatile and rated for use with copper, brass, aluminum, steel, and plastic tubing, provided a proper flare is generated. With a robust design capable of handling vacuum and pressures up to 5,000 PSI, the JB Industries T2-8 is a critical component for fluid distribution in both HVACR pneumatic systems and hydraulic lines. The long dryseal threads offer increased clearance for flare nuts, facilitating easier assembly and superior vibration resistance in the field.

• Extreme Pressure Rating: Engineered to withstand vacuum and high-pressure environments up to 5,000 PSI depending on tubing material.
• Forged Brass Construction: High-quality brass bodies maximize durability and prevent porosity leaks common in inferior cast alternatives.
• Multi-Tube Compatibility: Seamlessly connects with aluminum, steel, and copper tubing for diverse system routing.
• Standard Compliance: Manufactured to meet strict SAE, ASA, and AHRI requirements for consistent fitment and sealing.

• What is the thread specification for this tee? The T2-8 uses a 1/2" SAE 45-degree flare connection, which is standard for most ACR and refrigeration service applications.
• Can I use this fitting for natural gas or LP applications? Yes, these forged brass flare tees are commonly used in instrumentation, LP gas, and natural gas lines where a mechanical flare joint is specified.
• Does this require a sealant on the flare face? Flare fittings rely on a metal-to-metal contact seal. While threads should remain clean, many technicians use a drop of refrigeration oil or a compatible flare-specific lubricant to ensure a proper seat without over-torquing.
