How the Female Thread Quick Branch Works
Add a Threaded Branch Outlet
- Mounts to compatible PPS main pipe
- Creates a female NPT outlet at the branch location
- Allows compatible male-threaded components to connect directly
- Useful where a threaded branch is preferred over a PPS pipe branch
- Available in multiple pipe and thread combinations
Compact Branch Connection
- Designed specifically for PPS aluminum piping
- Provides a compact alternative to an inline threaded tee
- Supports branch connections for equipment and accessories
- Useful for expanding or modifying a PPS network
- Allows thread size to be matched to the connected component
Common Applications
Threaded Branch Connections
- Valves
- Regulators
- Filters
- Manifolds
- Equipment connections
- Threaded accessories
PPS Piping Networks
- Compressed air distribution
- Industrial vacuum piping
- Nitrogen distribution
- Manufacturing facilities
- Production systems
- Industrial utility piping
Selecting the Correct Quick Branch
Select the PPS1 BT fitting according to both the main PPS pipe OD and the required female NPT branch size.
The first measurement identifies the main pipe outside diameter, while the second identifies the female NPT outlet. For example, 2-1/2" OD x 3/4" FNPT is designed for a 2-1/2" PPS main pipe with a 3/4" female NPT branch connection.
Installation Considerations
- Confirm the main PPS pipe OD before ordering.
- Confirm the required female NPT outlet size.
- Verify the mating component has a compatible male NPT connection.
- Use the correct PPS installation method and tooling for creating the branch opening.
- Keep pipe, fitting, and sealing surfaces clean during assembly.
- Inspect the fitting and sealing components before installation.
- Use appropriate thread sealing practices on the FNPT connection.
- Support connected branch equipment and piping appropriately.
- 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 branch connection before normal system operation.
