Tee Fittings
About stainless steel and brass tee fittings
Tee fittings are an important component in pump systems, serving several potential purposes. They enable a single pipe to go in two different directions or combine two pipes into one, which helps with pump system design and functionality. This fitting gets it name because the position of the inlets/outlets in this three-way connector looks the letter T. A tee fitting can be used either with one inlet and two outlets, or with two inlets and one outlet, depending on your application.
Tee fittings for plumbing use can be made a of few different materials, including heavy-duty plastics. However, for pump systems, a more common choice is between brass tee pipe fittings and stainless steel pipe fittings. These two metals are strong, durable and resistant to corrosion, which is well-suited to the challenging environments that many pumps operate in. Stainless steel and brass are also better able to handle the required pressure of a pump system. It’s always essential before installing a tee fitting to ensure that it is rated for the pressure that your pump system runs at. This will help to ensure the safe and consistent running of the system and avoid potential leaks or equipment failure caused by excessive pressure.
