Description
Aluminum Quick Branch Tapping Flange for PPS Piping Systems
PPS1 BP Aluminum Quick Branch Tapping Flanges create a branch connection from compatible PPS aluminum piping. The fitting mounts to the main pipe and provides a PPS branch outlet for extending the piping network without requiring an inline tee at the branch location.
The PPS1 BP family supports main pipe ODs from 1" through 4" with branch pipe ODs from 1/2" through 1-1/4". Each variant is identified as Main Pipe OD x Branch Pipe OD for clear product selection.

How the Quick Branch Works
Create a Branch from the Main Pipe
- Mounts at a branch location on compatible PPS pipe
- Provides a dedicated PPS pipe outlet
- Allows a smaller branch line to extend from the main distribution pipe
- Useful where an inline tee is not required
- Available in multiple main and branch pipe combinations
Compact Branch Connection
- Designed specifically for PPS aluminum piping
- Supports branch outlets from 1/2" through 1-1/4" OD
- Provides a compact connection at the branch location
- Useful when expanding or modifying PPS piping networks
- Allows branch sizing to be matched to downstream requirements
Common Applications
Branch Piping
- Equipment drops
- Branch distribution lines
- Machine connections
- Production-area extensions
- System modifications
- New branch takeoffs
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 BP according to both the main pipe OD and the required branch pipe OD. The first size identifies the main PPS pipe, while the second size identifies the PPS branch outlet.
For example, 3" OD x 1" OD indicates a tapping flange for a 3" PPS main pipe with a 1" PPS branch pipe connection.
Installation Considerations
- Confirm the main PPS pipe OD before selecting the fitting.
- Confirm the required PPS branch pipe OD.
- Use the correct installation method and tooling for creating the branch opening.
- Keep the fitting, pipe, and sealing surfaces clean during assembly.
- Inspect the fitting and seal before installation.
- Use only with compatible PPS piping components.
- Provide appropriate support for the branch piping.
- 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a PPS1 BP fitting?
PPS1 BP is an aluminum tapping flange, also identified as a Quick Branch, that creates a PPS branch pipe connection from a compatible main pipe.
What does the size format mean?
The first measurement is the main PPS pipe OD and the second measurement is the branch PPS pipe OD.
What main pipe sizes are available?
The PPS1 BP family includes main pipe sizes from 1" through 4" OD.
What branch sizes are available?
Depending on the main pipe size, available branch outlets include 1/2", 3/4", 1", and 1-1/4" OD.
What does 2-1/2" OD x 1" OD mean?
It identifies a Quick Branch for a 2-1/2" PPS main pipe with a 1" PPS branch pipe outlet.
Is the branch connection threaded?
No. The PPS1 BP variants on this listing are identified by main pipe OD and branch pipe OD rather than a threaded outlet size.
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 PPS1 BP made from aluminum?
Yes. The manufacturer identifies PPS1 BP as an aluminum tapping flange for pipe.
Can PPS1 BP be used to add a branch to an existing PPS network?
The fitting is designed to create a branch connection from compatible PPS pipe and can be useful when modifying or expanding an appropriate PPS piping network.
Where can I review the manufacturer dimensions?
The PPS1 BP specification sheet is linked in the Ask Willy section directly above.
