Merrill SSAT1002S 1" All Cast 304 Stainless Steel Tank Tee, 1/2" Drains, 4-1/2" Long

Overview

This compact and robust Merrill SSAT1002S 1" All Cast 304 Stainless Steel Tank Tee is a premium plumbing fitting engineered for professional water tank installations demanding exceptional durability and corrosion resistance in tight spaces. Constructed entirely from high-grade 304 stainless steel with a short 4-1/2" long cast body and featuring dual 1/2" drain ports, this tank tee ensures safe, reliable potable water distribution in space-constrained environments.

In water tank systems, the tank tee serves as a critical connection hub for the water supply, distribution lines, and drainage. The Merrill SSAT1002S elevates performance with its all-304 stainless steel construction, providing superior resistance to corrosion and electrolysis, making it ideal for aggressive water conditions or applications requiring the highest level of material integrity where a minimal footprint is essential. The dual drain ports enhance system serviceability in compact installations.

Key benefits include its exceptional durability and corrosion resistance due to the all-304 stainless steel construction, versatile lateral connections (1" MIP & 3/4" FIP), and dual 1/2" drain ports for efficient system maintenance in a space-saving design. The ultra-compact 4-1/2" cast length makes it particularly well-suited for installations with very limited space while maintaining robust functionality and material integrity.

This fitting is an excellent choice for professional plumbers, well service technicians, and industrial users seeking a high-performance, code-compliant tank tee that offers unmatched durability, corrosion resistance, and efficient functionality in extremely space-constrained water system applications, including those with aggressive water chemistry or requiring the highest standards of material purity.

Applications

Ideal for professional plumbers and well contractors working in extremely confined spaces, such as under sinks, in crawl spaces, or within tightly packed mechanical rooms, where a standard-length tank tee won't fit.

Essential for specialized industrial and commercial applications where equipment size and weight are critical, and a compact, high-performance tank tee is required.

Suitable for installations in corrosive environments where space is at a premium, such as in certain marine or agricultural settings with limited room for plumbing components.

Beneficial for retrofit or repair jobs where existing plumbing configurations leave very little space for new fittings.

Used in compact residential water systems or small cabins where maximizing usable space is a key design consideration.

Performance and Characteristics

Constructed entirely from high-grade 304 stainless steel using a casting process, the Merrill SSAT1002S tank tee offers exceptional durability and resistance to a wide range of corrosive elements, even in its very compact form factor. The inclusion of both 1" MIP and 3/4" FIP lateral connections provides essential versatility for connecting necessary plumbing components in tight quarters. The two 1/2" drain ports allow for effective draining of the tank for maintenance or winterization, despite the fitting's small size.

Additional Information

The all-cast 304 stainless steel construction of this Merrill tank tee ensures compliance with stringent material standards for demanding applications, even when space is severely limited. Its superior corrosion resistance provides long-term reliability in environments where other materials might fail. Professional installation using appropriate techniques for stainless steel fittings is recommended to ensure optimal performance and longevity in these challenging installations.
