This Dixon 179-0606 brass hose splicer tee fitting is suitable for joining three hoses. This tee fitting is T-shaped and has three openings to connect and branch three hoses, two on the main run and one branch at a 90-degree angle from the middle of the tee. Pipe dimensions for tees are represented as A x B x C. €œA€ and €œB€ indicate the main run on the fitting, and €œC€ indicates the branch. It has hose barbs on all three ends for connecting to hoses. This fitting is made of brass for corrosion resistance, ductility at high temperatures, and low magnetic permeability. The barbed fitting creates a tight seal on flexible and semi-rigid tubing when used with a hose clamp, crimp sleeve, or ferrule (not included). This hose splicer tee fitting is suitable for repairing damaged hose and connecting hose in industrial and commercial compressed air systems.

Hose fittings connect, control, change the direction of, and terminate the flow in piping and hose systems. They are made of brass, stainless steel, galvanized steel, and other materials that resist corrosion, pressure, and wear. Hose fittings have various types of connections, including threaded, barbed, push-to-connect, dry disconnect, and others including those based on internationally-accepted specifications. Hose fittings are used in systems such as air compressors, automatic manufacturing operations, aircraft controls, and tire installation in industries including agriculture, mining, road construction, firefighting, and aviation.
