438010 - 1/2 Inch Duratec T-Connector for Compressed Air Piping

High-Performance Compressed Air Distribution

The 1/2" Duratec Tee (SKU: 438010) is a critical component for modern industrial compressed air and inert gas systems. Designed specifically for use with the Duratec composite piping line, this fitting enables the creation of branch lines and drops, facilitating complex distribution networks within manufacturing facilities, laboratories, and workshops. The Duratec system is renowned for its ability to deliver clean, dry air without the corrosion issues associated with traditional black iron or galvanized pipes.

Robust Construction and Engineering

Manufactured from high-quality nickel-plated brass, this Tee fitting offers superior resistance to corrosion and mechanical stress. The fitting utilizes a unique double O-ring seal mechanism that ensures a positive, leak-free connection immediately upon installation. Unlike threaded fittings that rely on tape or dope, the Duratec compression style eliminates the risk of sealant contamination entering the air stream, which is vital for sensitive pneumatic tools and robotic applications.

Installation and Versatility

One of the primary advantages of the Duratec 438010 Tee is its ease of installation. The system requires no threading, soldering, or gluing, significantly reducing labor time and costs. The fitting is fully demountable and reusable, making it an excellent choice for facilities that anticipate future layout changes or expansions. It is rated for pressures up to 200 PSI, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications, including plant air, inert gas distribution (such as Argon or Nitrogen), and vacuum systems.

Technical Specifications

This fitting connects three 1/2-inch Duratec pipes in a T-configuration. The smooth interior bore is designed to minimize pressure drop and turbulence, ensuring that downstream equipment receives optimal airflow. Whether you are outfitting a new facility or retrofitting an existing one, the Duratec Tee provides the reliability and performance required for demanding industrial environments.
