Product Uses


Residential Plumbing Systems

In homes, the PP-R Male Tee is widely used in potable water supply systems to split water flow to kitchens, bathrooms, toilets, and outdoor faucets. It is also essential for central heating systems, allowing hot water to be distributed to radiators or underfloor heating circuits. The non-toxic, lead-free design ensures safe drinking water and healthy indoor environments.


Commercial Buildings

Commercial facilities such as hotels, hospitals, and office buildings rely on the PP-R Male Tee to manage complex plumbing networks. It is used in HVAC systems to distribute chilled or heated water, in kitchen plumbing to supply water to multiple sinks and appliances, and in restroom facilities to ensure consistent water flow to toilets and faucets. Its leak-proof design minimizes maintenance downtime and water damage risks.


Industrial Applications

In industrial settings, the PP-R Male Tee is suitable for fluid transport systems handling chemicals, coolants, and other non-corrosive fluids. It is used in manufacturing plants, laboratories, and processing facilities to split or combine fluid streams in production lines. The chemical resistance of PP-R ensures the fitting remains durable even in harsh industrial environments.


Renovation & Retrofit Projects

The PP-R Male Tee is an ideal choice for upgrading older plumbing systems. Its compatibility with existing female-threaded components allows for easy integration without the need to replace entire pipelines. Whether expanding a residential plumbing system or upgrading a commercial facility’s fluid distribution network, this tee provides a cost-effective, reliable solution.


Product Operate Guide


Pre-Installation Preparation

Verify that the PP-R Male Tee matches the pipeline diameter and female-threaded components. Check the fitting for cracks, burrs, or defects—do not use damaged products.

Cut the pipes to the required length using a pipe cutter, ensuring the ends are clean, straight, and free of burrs. Use a deburring tool to smooth the pipe ends, which prevents damage to the threads and ensures a tight seal.

Clean the male threads of the tee and the female threads of the connecting component with a dry cloth to remove dirt, oil, or debris.


Installation Steps

Apply a thin layer of thread seal tape or food-grade pipe dope to the male threads of the PP-R Male Tee. Wrap the tape clockwise around the threads (3-4 turns) to ensure proper sealing—avoid over-applying, as this can cause thread damage.

Align the tee with the female-threaded component (pipe, valve, or fitting) and screw it on manually. Ensure the tee is positioned correctly to allow the third port to face the desired direction for fluid distribution.

Tighten the tee using an adjustable wrench. Turn the wrench clockwise until the connection is snug—do not over-tighten, as this can strip the threads or crack the PP-R material.

For systems involving hot water or high pressure, allow the connection to set for 10-15 minutes before turning on the fluid supply.


Post-Installation Checks & Maintenance

Turn on the fluid supply gradually and inspect the connection for leaks. Check all three ports of the tee, as well as the threaded connection, for any signs of dripping or seepage.

If leaks are detected, turn off the supply, unscrew the tee, and reapply thread seal tape or pipe dope before re-tightening. If the threads are damaged, replace the tee or the connecting component.

Perform regular maintenance checks every 8-12 months. Clean the tee with a mild soap solution to remove dirt or buildup, and inspect the threads and body for signs of wear. Replace the tee if cracks, discoloration, or thread damage is observed.


FAQ


Q1: Is the PP-R Male Tee compatible with metal pipes?

A1: Yes, the PP-R Male Tee features standard BSPP male threads that are compatible with metal (brass, copper, steel) and plastic female-threaded pipes. For metal pipes, ensure the threads are clean and free of rust before installation, and use thread seal tape to prevent galvanic corrosion.

Q2: Can this tee be used for drinking water systems?

A2: Absolutely. The PP-R Male Tee is made from food-grade, non-toxic PP-R material that meets international drinking water standards (e.g., FDA, NSF). It does not leach harmful chemicals into the water, making it safe for potable water applications.

Q3: What is the maximum temperature the PP-R Male Tee can withstand?

A3: The PP-R Male Tee is designed for continuous use at temperatures up to 95°C, making it suitable for hot water systems, central heating, and other high-temperature applications. It can also tolerate short-term exposure to temperatures up to 110°C without permanent damage.

Q4: How do I remove the PP-R Male Tee if I need to reconfigure the pipeline?

A4: To remove the tee, turn off the fluid supply and relieve pressure in the system. Use an adjustable wrench to turn the tee counterclockwise until it is loose, then unscrew it manually. If the threads are stuck, apply a penetrating oil (safe for potable water systems) and let it sit for 10-15 minutes before attempting to loosen. Avoid using excessive force to prevent pipe damage.
