Description
Solid-brass DOT push-to-connect male branch tee that combines two runs of 1/2 in. SAE J1131 nylon air-brake tubing onto a 1/2 in. male NPTF port at the branch leg, providing a 3-way junction with one threaded mate. The Midland Industries 720808 carries SAE J2494-3 push-to-connect service and DOT FMVSS 49 CFR 571.106 air-brake compliance.
Signs You Need a New Push-to-Connect Male Tee
- Audible air leak at any of the three ports
- Tubing pulls free under pressure or won’t fully seat
- Visible corrosion, pitting, or thread damage on brass body
- Slow brake-circuit pressure build or ABS DTCs tied to a leaking line
