A pipe tee is a T-shaped fitting with three openings that branches a line off a run at 90 degrees or combines two flows into one. It is one of the most-used fittings in any piping system. These tees are stocked in black steel, brass, and galvanized (threaded) and in sweat copper (solder-on) across the common sizes for water, gas, steam, and black-iron work.
Key Features:
- Branches or Combines Flow -- Three-way T fitting takes a branch off a run or merges two lines.
- Four Materials -- Black steel, brass, and galvanized thread on; sweat copper solders on.
- Threaded or Solder -- Threaded (NPT) tees for steel and brass; solder-cup tees for copper tube.
- Common Size Range -- Stocked from 1/2 in. through 2 in., including a reducing sweat tee.
- Strong Connections -- Makes durable, pressure-tight three-way joints.
Where to Use:
- Building maintenance -- Adding or repairing branch lines on supply, gas, and steam runs
- Rough plumbing -- Branching and combining runs on new threaded and copper installations
- Code compliance -- Material-matched tees (black, brass, galvanized, sweat) for approved connections
