#12 Tee Fitting

The Fragola #12 Tee Fitting is an adapter-style tee junction designed for high-pressure fluid systems requiring three equal-sized 12 AN connections. Built from aluminum construction with blue anodized finish, this tri-directional fitting enables clean flow distribution in hydraulic, fuel, oil, and coolant applications where three separate lines must converge or diverge at a single point. The 12 AN (male) configuration on all three ports allows seamless integration into existing AN-threaded line networks common in racing, marine, and performance automotive setups.

The blue anodized aluminum construction provides corrosion resistance while maintaining a lightweight profile—at 0.24 lbs, this fitting adds minimal mass to complex plumbing layouts. Anodizing protects against oxidation in demanding environments, particularly in salt-air or moisture-exposed installations. The equal-bore tee geometry ensures balanced flow characteristics across all three ports, critical for applications where pressure distribution and line balance impact system performance. Each fitting is manufactured to standard 12 AN port specifications, guaranteeing thread compatibility with any properly-sealed 12 AN connector, hose adapter, or gauge port in your system.

This tee fitting serves professional builders, restoration shops, and enthusiasts configuring custom fuel delivery, cooling loop distribution, or pneumatic/hydraulic control systems. Typical applications include dual-pump fuel systems where carburetors or injectors branch from a common supply line, intercooler bypass circuits, transmission cooler installations, and multi-outlet brake or clutch line networks. The robust aluminum body withstands the pressure cycling and thermal cycling inherent in high-performance engine bays without compromise to structural integrity.

Fragola is recognized in the aftermarket racing and automotive community for precision fluid-system fittings that meet or exceed SAE standards. This tee fitting is an OEM-quality component suitable for both restoration purists and modern performance builds. Proper installation requires industry-standard AN thread sealant and correct torque specs for 12 AN ports; verify your system's maximum rated pressure before installation to ensure safe operation.
