Three Connections. One Practical Bulkhead Solution.
The 2703 JIC Bulkhead Union Branch Tee is designed for hydraulic systems where fluid needs to be distributed between three connection points while passing through a panel or mounting surface.
Instead of arranging multiple fittings to create a branch at the bulkhead, the 2703 provides a purpose-built tee configuration that helps simplify hydraulic line layout and connection planning.
Built for Hydraulic Flow Distribution
A branch tee is useful when one hydraulic circuit needs an additional connection point for another line or component. The 2703 helps create this three-way connection while keeping the installation organized around the bulkhead.
It can be a practical choice for:
- Hydraulic line branching
- Fluid distribution
- Equipment panel connections
- Hydraulic hose assemblies
- Compact machine layouts
- Mobile hydraulic systems
Male JIC Connections With 37° Flare
All three ports use Male JIC connections with 37° flare sealing. This gives the 2703 a consistent JIC connection style across the tee, making it suitable for compatible JIC hydraulic components.
The three-port arrangement gives you flexibility when designing or modifying hydraulic circuits that require an additional branch connection.
Steel Construction for Demanding Applications
The 2703 collection specifies steel construction, including 12L14 and 1045 bar stock and 1010 cold-formed material. It also lists clear zinc trivalent plating and passivation for surface protection.
For demanding hydraulic applications, the collection lists working pressures up to 5,000 PSI, with pressure capability varying according to tube and fitting size.
Where 2703 Bulkhead Branch Tees Are Used
The 2703 is suited to a range of hydraulic and fluid-power applications, including:
- Machine tools
- Agricultural machinery
- Earth-moving equipment
- Industrial hydraulic systems
- Instrumentation systems
- Chemical processing equipment
- Mobile hydraulic equipment
- High-pressure hydraulic applications
These application categories are listed by Gear House Hydraulics for the 2703 series.
Why Choose the 2703?
The 2703 is a strong option when branching and bulkhead mounting are both required. Its three JIC ports provide a straightforward way to distribute hydraulic flow while its bulkhead configuration supports panel-based installation.
Key Benefits
- Three Male JIC ports for hydraulic line connections
- 37° JIC flare sealing configuration
- Bulkhead design for through-panel installations
- Tee configuration for fluid branching
- Steel construction for demanding service
- Protective zinc finish for added surface protection
- Multiple sizes for different hydraulic requirements
- Suitable for high-pressure hydraulic applications when properly sized and rated
Select the Right 2703 Size
The collection currently offers multiple 2703 sizes, including -03-03-03, -04-04-04, -06-06-06, -08-08-08, -10-10-10, -12-12-12, and -16-16-16.
Before ordering, verify the required JIC size for each of the three ports. Also consider the available panel space and the hydraulic hose or tube sizes being connected.
Selecting the correct configuration from the beginning helps reduce unnecessary adapters and makes the hydraulic installation easier to plan.
A Practical Choice for Hydraulic System Design
Whether you're building hydraulic equipment, replacing an existing fitting, or adding a branch to an established circuit, the 2703 JIC Bulkhead Union Branch Tee provides three connection points in a single component.
Gear House Hydraulics manufactures hydraulic fittings for demanding fluid-power applications, giving you purpose-built options for hydraulic routing, branching, and bulkhead installation.
Choose the required 2703 size and add a reliable three-way JIC connection to your hydraulic system.
