Manufactured from steel and rated for a minimum working temperature of -65°F, this tee-style pipe-to-pipe adapter is built for dependable performance in demanding hydraulic systems. The Steel Adapter, 1/2-14 Male NPT Run To 1/2-14 Female NPT Branch, Tee provides a three-port connection with two 1/2-14 NPTF male run ends and one 1/2-14 NPTF female branch end, allowing a straight-line run to be tapped with a branch connection at the same thread size. All three ports share a consistent 1/2-14 thread specification, simplifying configuration in installations where uniform sizing is required. Sourced from Danfoss Power Solutions (formerly Aeroquip), this adapter carries catalog number C1BD68 and is classified EAR99 for export purposes. No thread sealant is applied at the factory, so appropriate sealant or tape should be used during installation per system requirements.

Will this tee fitting work with standard NPT threads? Just want to make sure before I order it.

This Eaton Aeroquip tee adapter is made with NPTF (National Pipe Taper Fuel) internal and external pipe threads, which are designed to provide a more leak-free seal than standard NPT threads.

trying to tee off a 1/2 pipe thread line, is this the one thats 1/2-14 male run and a 1/2-14 female branch?
Answer by: Customer Support on Dec 9, 2025, 8:13 AM
Function-wise, it is a steel tee adapter set up as a 1/2-14 male NPT on the run with a 1/2-14 female NPT on the branch. It’s part of the Danfoss/Eaton 2256 Series tee and y adapters that use NPTF external pipe threads and NPTF internal pipe threads.

what's the thread size on both the male and female ends of this tee adapter?
Answer by: Customer Support on Mar 13, 2026, 11:10 AM
Both the run ports and the branch port are 1/2-14 NPT. The male run end and the female branch are the same size, so you're working with a consistent 1/2-14 thread throughout. Dimension A runs 1.49 inches and dimension B is 1.23 inches, which should help you confirm fitment in tighter spaces before you commit to the install.
