Professional Application Guide
Main Branch Line
Used to split a primary 1/2" supply line into multiple directions to feed separate fixtures (e.g., sink and toilet).
Parallel Pumping
Ideal for radiant floor heating systems where multiple loops need to be branched from a single supply header.
Multi-Unit Developments
Standardized choix for condo projects where standardized branching locations are repeated across hundreds of units.
Installation Engineering Checklist:
- ■ Triple-Seal Verification: Since a tee involves three connections, ensure every joint is verified with a Go/No-Go gauge to prevent a single point of failure in a branching station.
- ■ Square-Cut Protocol: All three PEX ends must be cut square to ensure full engagement with the brass barbs and maintain equal flow characteristics.
- ■ Stress Management: Avoid sharp bends immediately after a tee connection. Allow at least 6 inches of straight pipe before the first support clip to minimize mechanical stress on the brass body.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a "Reducing Tee"?
No. This is an Equal Tee, meaning all three openings are 1/2" nominal size. Reducing tees are used when branching to a smaller pipe size.
Are all 50 pieces lead-free?
Yes. All pieces in the master pack are manufactured from No-Lead (NL) brass, certified safe for all North American potable drinking water systems.
Can these be buried in concrete?
Yes, but it is standard plumbing practice to wrap brass fittings in silicone tape or protective sleeving to protect against potential corrosion from the concrete's chemical composition.
