Description
Aluminum Equal Female Tee for PPS Piping Systems
PPS1 TE Aluminum Equal Female Tee Fittings provide a 90-degree branch connection between three compatible sections of equal-size PPS aluminum pipe. The equal tee design maintains the same pipe outside diameter through the run and branch, making it suitable for building branch lines within modular PPS piping networks.
This listing includes pipe outside diameters from 1/2" through 4". These fittings are designed as part of the PPS 100% aluminum network and can be incorporated into compatible compressed air, vacuum, and nitrogen PPS piping systems.

Why Use an Equal Tee?
Create a Branch Line
- Adds a 90-degree branch to a PPS piping run
- Uses the same pipe OD on all three connections
- Suitable for creating equipment or workstation branches
- Useful in main and secondary distribution layouts
- Provides a purpose-built PPS branching fitting
Modular PPS Installation
- Designed for compatible PPS aluminum pipe
- Part of the 100% aluminum PPS network
- Supports new systems and piping expansions
- Allows additional branch runs to be incorporated into the network
- Available across a broad range of pipe diameters
Common Applications
Branch Connections
- Main line to branch line transitions
- Equipment drops
- Workstation feeds
- Secondary distribution runs
- Piping network expansions
PPS Distribution Networks
- Compressed air distribution
- Industrial vacuum piping
- Nitrogen distribution
- Manufacturing facilities
- Machine shops
- Production and process areas
Selecting the Correct Tee Size
Select the PPS1 TE fitting according to the outside diameter of the PPS pipe used in the run and branch. Because this is an equal tee, all three connections correspond to the same pipe OD.
For example, the 2" PPS1 TE50 is designed to connect three compatible 2" PPS pipe sections. Confirm pipe OD before ordering and review dimensions A, B, and C when installation clearance is limited.
Installation Considerations
- Confirm the PPS pipe outside diameter before ordering.
- Use the same fitting size as all three pipe sections being connected.
- Review dimensions A, B, and C to confirm installation clearance.
- Use compatible PPS aluminum pipe and system components.
- Cut pipe square and prepare pipe ends according to PPS installation requirements.
- Keep pipe ends and fitting interiors clean before assembly.
- Support the run and branch piping appropriately around the tee.
- Do not exceed the published maximum operating pressure of 232 PSI.
- Maintain the system within the published -4°F to 176°F operating temperature range.
- Test the completed piping network before normal operation.
- Installation should be completed by personnel familiar with the intended PPS piping application.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a PPS1 TE fitting?
PPS1 TE is an aluminum equal female tee designed to connect three compatible equal-size PPS pipe sections.
What sizes are available?
This listing includes 1/2", 3/4", 1", 1-1/4", 1-1/2", 2", 2-1/2", 3", and 4" pipe outside-diameter options.
Does the tee use the same pipe size on all three connections?
Yes. PPS1 TE is an equal tee, so the run and branch connections all correspond to the same PPS pipe OD.
What is an equal tee used for?
An equal tee creates a 90-degree branch from a straight pipe run without reducing the pipe diameter at the branch.
What is the maximum operating pressure?
The published maximum operating pressure is 232 PSI.
What is the operating temperature range?
The published operating temperature range is -4°F to 176°F.
Is the fitting made from aluminum?
Yes. PPS1 TE is part of the PPS 100% aluminum network.
Can these tees be used in PPS compressed air systems?
They can be incorporated into compatible PPS compressed air systems when properly selected and installed for the required operating conditions.
Can these tees be used with PPS vacuum piping?
They can be incorporated into compatible PPS vacuum piping networks when the fitting and complete system are suitable for the intended application.
Can these tees be used with PPS nitrogen piping?
They can be incorporated into compatible PPS nitrogen piping systems when properly selected and installed for that service.
How do I select the correct tee size?
Match the PPS1 TE fitting size to the outside diameter of all three PPS pipe sections being connected.
Where can I review the manufacturer's specifications?
The PPS1 TE specification sheet is linked in the Ask Willy section directly above.
