Banjo 1-1/2″ Tee Polypropylene Barbed Fitting 150 psi Black

Description

Product Overview

The Banjo 1-1/2″ Tee is engineered from high‑grade polypropylene, a material celebrated for its chemical resistance, lightweight nature, and ability to withstand demanding industrial environments. With a maximum pressure rating of 150 psi, this fitting is suitable for a wide range of hydraulic and pneumatic applications, from fluid transfer lines to compressed air systems. Its black coloration not only offers a professional aesthetic but also adds an extra layer of UV protection, ensuring long‑term durability even when exposed to harsh lighting conditions.

Precision‑molded barbs on each end of the tee provide a secure, leak‑free seal when paired with compatible tubing. The 1‑1/2″ nominal size aligns with standard industry dimensions, allowing seamless integration into existing pipe networks without the need for additional adapters. The fitting’s compact 2 × 2 × 2‑inch package dimensions make storage and inventory management straightforward, while the robust construction minimizes the risk of deformation under load.

Manufactured by CAI – BANJO, a reputable brand known for reliable fluid control components, this tee benefits from rigorous quality control processes. Each unit undergoes dimensional verification and pressure testing to confirm compliance with the specified 150 psi rating. The product’s ASIN (B07JH7JXFD) and its ranking as #62 in Barbed Tee Fittings underscore its acceptance among professionals seeking dependable solutions for critical infrastructure.

Usage

Designed for versatility, the Banjo 1-1/2″ Tee excels in environments where fluid integrity and system reliability are paramount. It is commonly employed in manufacturing plants, automotive assembly lines, and agricultural equipment where hydraulic power is used to operate actuators, valves, and lifting mechanisms. The fitting also serves pneumatic circuits that control pneumatic tools, conveyor belts, and process automation equipment.

Because polypropylene resists many chemicals, the tee is appropriate for water‑based fluids, light oils, and certain solvents, making it a go‑to choice for cooling systems, chemical processing, and laboratory setups. Its ability to handle both high‑pressure hydraulic loads and lower‑pressure pneumatic streams reduces the need for multiple part numbers, simplifying procurement and reducing inventory complexity for maintenance teams.

Installation is straightforward: simply push the tubing onto the barbed ends until it reaches the shoulder, ensuring a snug fit. The design eliminates the need for additional sealing compounds, saving time and reducing potential points of failure. This ease of use benefits technicians who must perform rapid repairs or routine system upgrades with minimal downtime.

FAQ

What tubing sizes are compatible with this tee?

The 1‑1/2″ tee is designed to accept standard 1‑1/2″ (38 mm) inner‑diameter tubing. It works well with both flexible and semi‑rigid polypropylene, PVC, and nylon hoses that match the nominal size.

Can this fitting be used with liquids other than water?

Yes. Polypropylene resists many chemicals, including light oils, glycol‑based fluids, and certain solvents. Always verify compatibility with the specific fluid chemistry for critical applications.

Is the fitting suitable for high‑temperature environments?

Polypropylene maintains its mechanical properties up to approximately 120 °C (248 °F). For applications exceeding this temperature, consider a fitting made from a higher‑temperature‑rated material such as PTFE or metal.

How do I ensure a leak‑free installation?

Push the tubing firmly onto each barb until it reaches the shoulder, ensuring a tight fit. Verify that the tubing is cut cleanly and free of burrs. A visual inspection and pressure test after installation will confirm the seal integrity.

What warranty does this product carry?
