Tee Construction
A threaded tee provides three connection points: two aligned openings for the main piping run and one perpendicular opening for the branch connection.
This configuration is commonly used to divide flow, add a branch line, or connect a fixture, valve, or piece of equipment to an existing threaded piping system.
The chrome-plated exterior provides a finished appearance for compatible installations where the fitting may remain visible.
