1/4" F-F "T" fitting – code: 0130B – Maestrini

Maestrini 1/4“ F-F ”T” fitting (code 0130B)

The 1/4“ F-F ”T” fitting” Maestrini, code 0130B, is a component for systems designed to create branches and connections in an orderly and functional way. The T configuration allows managing a main line with a branch, being useful in many situations of maintenance and assembly of systems where a compact and practical fitting is required.

This version is indicated as F-F and is offered in the size 1/4”. The product is made of brass, a material commonly used in fittings for technical applications. It is a suitable choice in contexts where a reliable and easy-to-integrate component in a system of fittings and accessories is desired.

Features and construction details

The Maestrini 0130B fitting is designed to offer a straightforward solution when a T branch with female connections is needed. The clear identification through product code facilitates warehouse management and replacement during interventions.

Identifying data

• Product: T-shaped fitting“
• Configuration: F-F
• Size: 1/4”
• Supplier code: 0130B
• Brand / Supplier: Maestrini
• Material: brass

T shape: when needed

The T geometry is typically used for:

• create a branch from a main line;
• organizing the path of lines in technical spaces, maintaining a cleaner layout;
• providing an additional connection point for accessories or secondary routes.

F-F connections

The wording F-F indicates a configuration with female connections. When choosing, it is important to check compatibility with the male elements present in the system and with the type of threading required by your system. If your system includes adapters or reducers, consider the set of fittings to achieve a consistent and stress-free assembly.

Typical applications (nautical and plant engineering)

A 1/4” T fitting is used in many processes where it is necessary to distribute a line to multiple users or create a branch at a specific point in the system. It is a useful solution both during installation and maintenance interventions, when it is necessary to restore or modify a section of the line.

Examples of use

• Line branches in technical systems where an additional connection point is required.
• Reorganization of connections in tight spaces, thanks to the T shape which helps manage line directions.
• Replacement of fittings existing with a component identifiable by code (0130B), useful for quick and orderly interventions.

Practical advantages

• Functional format: the T allows managing a main line and a branch with a single component.
• Simplified management: product code 0130B useful for reordering, traceability, and replacements.
• Brass material: a common choice in fittings for systems, suitable for many technical applications.
• Integration into existing systems: the size 1/4” and configuration F-F help select the correct fitting when working on pre-installed lines.

Usage and installation notes

For correct assembly, it is always advisable to proceed carefully, especially when working on existing systems or in technical spaces on board. Below are some general guidelines (not a substitute for your system's procedures):

Checks before purchase

• Size: check that the line or components to be connected are compatible with 1/4”.
• Connection type: verify that the configuration F-F is the one required for your connection scheme.
• Available space: consider the space and orientation of the branch to avoid stress on the lines.

Good practices during assembly

• Ensure that surfaces and threads are clean before assembly.
• Avoid over-tightening: correct assembly reduces the risk of damaging threads and components.
• If the system requires it, use sealing materials and procedures consistent with your application (according to the instructions of the system and fittings manufacturer).

Maintenance and replacement

In case of intervention on an existing system, it is useful to identify the fitting through code 0130B and check the size 1/4” and configuration F-F. This approach helps reduce errors during reordering and maintain consistency among installed components.

Summary

• T-shaped fitting“ for branches
• F-F – size 1/4”
• Ottone
• Code: 0130B – Maestrini
