ISO-KF Tee: Compact and Reliable Branching for Vacuum Lines
In vacuum systems, every connection point matters. A fitting is not only a mechanical component; it is part of the system’s sealing reliability, layout flexibility, and long-term operational stability. The ISO-KF Tee is designed for ISO-KF vacuum lines where a compact and clean three-way connection is required.
The ISO-KF Tee allows a vacuum line to be branched into two directions while maintaining compatibility with standard ISO-KF connection hardware. This makes it a practical solution for vacuum distribution, instrumentation ports, pump line arrangements, and compact system layouts where space efficiency is important.
Designed for ISO-KF Vacuum Systems
ISO-KF connections are widely used in low, medium, and high-vacuum applications because they are simple to assemble, service-friendly, and suitable for modular vacuum system design. The ISO-KF Tee follows this same philosophy by offering a clean tee configuration that can be integrated into existing ISO-KF systems without complex adaptation.
At Anadolu Vacuum, the ISO-KF Tee is available in standard DN sizes from DN 10 to DN 50, covering the most commonly used vacuum line diameters. The product is manufactured in Stainless Steel 304 / 1.4301 and Stainless Steel 316L / 1.4404, depending on the application requirements.
Material Options and Performance
For general vacuum applications, Stainless Steel 304 offers strong mechanical reliability and clean performance. For more demanding environments, Stainless Steel 316L provides improved corrosion resistance and higher temperature capability.
According to the product data, the ISO-KF Tee supports high-vacuum performance ranges depending on the selected material and sealing type. Stainless Steel 304 versions are listed with pressure ranges down to 1 × 10⁻⁸ mbar with elastomer seals and 1 × 10⁻⁹ mbar with metal seals. Stainless Steel 316L versions are also listed with high-vacuum compatibility and higher overpressure capability.
Available Sizes
The ISO-KF Tee is available in the following sizes:
| Size | Tube Dimension |
|---|---|
| DN 10 | 13 × 1.5 mm |
| DN 16 | 19 × 1.5 mm |
| DN 25 | 29 × 1.5 mm |
| DN 40 | 41 × 1.5 mm |
| DN 50 | 53 × 1.5 mm |
Applications
The ISO-KF Tee is commonly used in:
Vacuum line branching, pump and foreline connections, measurement and sensor integration, laboratory vacuum systems, coating and process equipment, R&D systems, and custom vacuum assemblies.
Its compact geometry makes it especially useful where several components need to be connected within a limited installation space.
Manufactured with Precision
As with all vacuum components, dimensional accuracy and surface quality are essential. A tee fitting must align properly with clamps, centering rings, and seals to maintain reliable vacuum performance. Anadolu Vacuum manufactures ISO-KF components with attention to sealing surfaces, geometry, and repeatable quality control.
The ISO-KF Tee reflects Anadolu Vacuum’s approach to standard vacuum components: simple to integrate, carefully manufactured, and suitable for reliable use in demanding vacuum environments.
Conclusion
The ISO-KF Tee is a small but important component in vacuum system design. It provides a clean and compact way to branch ISO-KF lines while maintaining compatibility with standard vacuum hardware. With multiple DN sizes and stainless steel material options, it offers a practical solution for laboratories, production systems, and custom-engineered vacuum assemblies.
