Product Description
1/8" NPT Male to Dual 1/4" Push-to-Connect Tee Vacuum / Boost Fitting
The JBtuned 1/8" NPT Push-to-Connect Tee threads into a 1/8" NPT female port and provides two 1/4-inch push-to-connect branches directly at that threaded connection.
This fitting is designed for applications where the reference line needs to branch at the component or threaded port rather than farther downstream in an existing line.

Branch the Reference Plumbing at a 1/8" NPT Port
The 1/8" NPT male stem installs directly into a compatible 1/8" NPT female port. From that point, the fitting provides two separate 1/4" push-to-connect connections.
This makes the tee useful when the desired branch point is located directly at a threaded component, manifold or distribution point.
Threaded Tee vs. Y Splitter
The threaded tee and a line-mounted Y splitter solve two different plumbing problems.
Choose this 1/8" NPT threaded tee when you want two push-to-connect branches to originate directly from a 1/8" NPT female port.
If you already have an existing 1/4" push-to-connect line and simply need to split that line into two branches, use the JBtuned 1/4" Push-to-Connect Y Splitter instead.
NPT Connection
The threaded side is 1/8" NPT male and is designed for a compatible 1/8" NPT female port.
NPT is a tapered pipe-thread connection and should not be confused with -4AN. Verify the threaded port before ordering.
Vacuum & Boost-Reference Plumbing
A tee can provide a compact way to create two reference-line connections from one threaded port, but that does not mean every pair of components should share the same pressure source.
Always follow the routing instructions supplied with the blow-off valve, wastegate, boost controller, regulator, gauge or other device being connected.
Questions About Tee vs. Y?
Use this fitting when the branch needs to occur at a 1/8" NPT threaded port. Use the Y splitter when the branch needs to occur in an existing 1/4" push-to-connect line.
