3/8" F-F-F "T" fitting – code: 0130C – Maestrini

3/8“ Maestrini F-F-F ”T” fitting (code 0130C)

The 3/8“ F-F-F ”T” fitting” Maestrini, identified by code 0130C, it is a component for hydraulic systems designed to create a three-way branch with connections female-female-female. It is a practical solution when you need to distribute a line or create an additional connection point while maintaining a neat system setup.

In the nautical and onboard system field, a T fitting is often used to organize utilities and simplify line management, especially in technical spaces where accessibility and connection rationality make a difference. This item is offered in the format 3/8”, suitable for applications compatible with this size.

Product features and details

Three-way configuration

The geometry at “T” allows connecting three system sections, creating a lateral branch off the main line. It is a typical configuration for:

• splitting a line towards two users;
• adding a secondary branch to an existing line;
• creating orderly connections in tight spaces.

Female threads on all sides (F-F-F)

The fitting is of the type F-F-F, so it has three female connections. This configuration is useful when the system uses male elements (such as nipples or adapters) to complete the connection, or when you want to maintain some modularity in line construction.

Size 3/8”

The indicated measurement is 3/8”. For a correct choice, it is important to verify the size matches the components already present in the system (fittings, adapters, valves, or other line elements) and the threading standard required by your system scheme.

Identification and traceability

• Brand: Maestrini
• Product code: 0130C
• SKU: MAES00000018

These references are useful for reordering, spare parts management, and alignment with bill of materials or internal technical documentation.

Typical applications (nautical and plant engineering)

The T fitting is a cross component used in many system configurations where a branch needs to be created. In a technical context such as boating, it can be used at various points in the onboard system, depending on the design and distribution requirements of the lines.

Distribution and line branches

When a line needs to supply multiple users or when an additional connection point is desired, a T allows structuring the branch in a clean and inspectable way. It is a common choice during:

• construction of new lines;
• modifications or expansions of the system;
• maintenance with replacement of existing components.

Maintenance and refitting interventions

In case of refitting or maintenance, the use of a T fitting can help restore or reorganize a section of the system without having to redesign the entire line. The presence of three female connections allows working with dedicated male elements, facilitating adaptation to existing configurations (when compatible).

Operational advantages

Neat solution for complex systems

The T branch is one of the most immediate solutions to manage branches and multiple connections. In a technical system, maintaining a clear arrangement of fittings can simplify:

• line identification;
• inspection operations;
• replacement or modification interventions.

Modularity in line construction

The configuration F-F-F allows setting modular connections through dedicated male components. This approach can be useful when you want to manage the line with separate elements (for example, to prepare for future modifications), always respecting compatibility between threads and components.

Clear reference for reordering

The code 0130C allows precise identification of the Maestrini product, reducing the risk of errors during procurement, especially when managing multiple fittings similar in shape or size.

Usage and important notes

Compatibility check

Before installation, carefully check:

• the size 3/8” requested by your system;
• the type of connection female on each side and the need for any male elements;
• compatibility with other components already installed (thread standards and assembly scheme).

Proper installation

For correct assembly, it is advisable to operate with suitable tools and follow the good installation practices provided for threaded fittings. In case of doubts about sizing or line configuration, it is appropriate to refer to your system diagram or a qualified technician.

Spare parts and warehouse management

To simplify spare parts management, it is recommended to record in internal documentation the code 0130C and the SKU MAES00000018, especially in contexts where there are multiple branches or multiple connection points with the same size.
