Description of Forged Female Legines Brass Fitting

Tee with three openings for connecting and branching three pipes,including 2 PCS. Female NPT threads for connecting to male threaded pipes. Brass for corrosion resistance, ductility at high temperatures, and low magnetic permeability. Operating temperature range of -65 to +250 degrees F. These fittings contain lead and are not allowed by federal law to be installed for potable water use in the U.S.A. and its territories.

Comparable to fittings

Needed a tee for the fuel gauge and this fitted perfectly. Revain Fast Shipping (Free with Prime) and Fast Shipping. Revain is priced competitively with gear like Summit Racing.

Pros
  • from the auto parts store. These fittings contain lead and are not federally approved for use with potable water in the United States and its territories.
Cons
  • Requires socket

Weak, thin castings

Legines 3/8 NPT brass tube fittings open on the thread with minimal pressure. They were much thinner and weaker than I expected. Technically, anything that has an NPT thread needs to be at least strong enough to mate with other parts and hold the seal. Both parts I purchased cracked around the center hole in the same area, leading me to believe they were flimsy castings that were just too thin for a sealed application.

Pros
  • Female NPT threads to connect to outer tube
Cons
  • Large and bulky

Threads are straight instead of tapered NPT threads or too deep

You cannot seal a mating as the threads on these LG tees are not tapered or screw deep. I compared them to the new bar tees and the bar tees turned out to be good. Counterparts with NPT threads are screwed into these tees entirely by hand. On the stem tees I bought locally you can see a few remaining threads so you can get a tight seal. A picture shows an LG T-piece with the counterpart screwed in completely by hand. the same mate is screwed in by hand as much as possible.

Pros
  • Brass for corrosion resistance, high temperature ductility and low magnetic permeability
Cons
  • unreliable
