Is the Brass Tee Connector "T" with BSPT Female Thread, Type AI 13240 compatible with both metal and plastic pipes (4–18 mm) and suitable for hydraulic and pneumatic systems?

Yes. The Brass Tee Connector "T" with BSPT Female Thread, Type AI 13240 is compatible with both metal (copper, brass, steel, aluminum) and plastic pipes/hoses (e.g. polyamide) with outer diameters from 4 to 18 mm. Manufactured from high‑quality brass and compliant with EN 1254‑2, it uses a crimped ring and nut system to ensure a tight, vibration‑resistant seal. Its robust construction and proven sealing method make it suitable for hydraulic and pneumatic systems as well as industrial and domestic applications.

Can the Brass Tee Connector "T" with BSPT Female Thread, Type AI 13240 be used with potable water and food-grade fluids without contaminating them?

Brass Tee Connector "T" with BSPT Female Thread, Type AI 13240 is manufactured from high‑quality brass and complies with EN 1254‑2, which indicates suitability for plumbing applications and good corrosion resistance. However, the product description does not explicitly state approvals or certifications for potable water (e.g., NSF/WRAS/ACS) or for food‑grade fluid contact, nor does it specify lead content or any food‑safe plating/finish. Therefore: technically the material and standard compliance make it appropriate for many domestic and hydraulic systems, but you cannot assume it is certified safe for potable water or food‑grade fluids without vendor confirmation. To ensure no contamination, request from the supplier specific certifications (potable water approvals such as NSF/WRAS/ACS, lead‑free compliance, and any food‑contact declarations). If those are provided, the Brass Tee Connector "T" with BSPT Female Thread, Type AI 13240 can be used safely; without them, do not use it for potable water or food‑grade fluids.
