Premium Solid Brass Ball Side Outlet Tee | 38mm Ø | Polished Brass

Engineered for both structural integrity and high-end aesthetics, this 38mm diameter component is the professional choice for luxury handrails, footrails, and decorative shelving systems.

Crafted from high-grade solid brass, this fitting features a smooth, spherical "ball" junction that provides a seamless transition for three-way pipe connections. The mirror-polished finish offers a timeless, golden glow that matures beautifully over time or can be maintained for a permanent high-shine look.

Key Features

  • Solid Brass Construction: Unlike plated zinc or hollow steel alternatives, this is 100% solid brass for superior corrosion resistance and weight.

  • Precision 38mm (1.5") Bore: Designed specifically to fit standard 38mm OD (Outside Diameter) tubing with a snug, secure fit.

  • Side Outlet Configuration: Perfect for corner joints where a vertical post meets two horizontal rails at a 90-degree angle.

  • High-Lustre Polished Finish: Hand-buffed to a mirror finish, suitable for high-end residential and commercial interiors.

  • Industrial Grade Durability: Built to withstand the high-traffic demands of bars, restaurants, and hotels.

Comparison: Premium Solid Brass vs. Standard Competitor

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is this fitting suitable for outdoor use?

Yes. Solid brass is naturally resistant to corrosion and salt air. While it will develop a natural patina (darken) outdoors, its structural integrity will not be compromised. To maintain the shine outdoors, regular polishing or a clear coat lacquer is recommended.

How do I secure the 38mm tubing into the tee?

Our tees are designed for a precision slip-fit. Most installers use a high-strength structural adhesive (like Loctite) for a seamless look, or drill and tap a small grub screw for a mechanical fix.

What is the difference between a "Side Outlet" and a standard Tee?

A standard Tee connects three pipes in a single plane (like a "T" shape). A Side Outlet Tee adds a third dimension, allowing pipes to exit at 90 degrees to one another—essential for the top corners of a railing or a square frame.2

Can I use this for plumbing?

No. This is an architectural component designed for handrails, footrails, and furniture. It is not pressure-rated for water or gas plumbing.

Ideal Applications

  • Commercial Bars: Luxury footrails and bar-top glass racks.

  • Retail Displays: High-end garment racking and shelving units.

  • Residential: Elegant staircase handrails and balustrades.

  • Marine: Decorative trim in boat interiors (highly salt-resistant).

Pro Tip: To maintain the "brand new" mirror finish, we recommend a quick wipe with a microfiber cloth and a dedicated brass cleaner once a month in high-traffic areas.
