MistKing 3/8" to 1/4" Reducing Tee

The MistKing 3/8" to 1/4" Reducing Tee (Val38-14-T) is a specialist plumbing fitting designed for reptile keepers building or expanding larger misting systems. It allows you to branch off a 3/8" main line to a 1/4" secondary run, giving you precise control over how your tubing network is laid out across a vivarium or terrarium setup.

How It Works

This reducing tee features two ports sized for 3/8" tubing and a single middle port sized for 1/4" tubing. The 3/8" ports form the backbone of your main line, while the 1/4" middle port allows you to drop down to a finer run — ideal for routing a branch to an individual nozzle or a smaller enclosure without disrupting main line pressure or flow.

Where It's Used

This fitting comes into its own in larger, more complex misting installations where a 3/8" backbone is used to supply multiple enclosures or zones. Rather than running 1/4" tubing throughout an entire system, keepers can maintain flow efficiency on the main run and only reduce where needed, keeping builds tidy and well-organised.

A straightforward but essential component for any serious reptile keeper designing a custom misting system — MistKing fittings are built to integrate cleanly with MistKing tubing and nozzle setups for a reliable, leak-resistant finish.
