Description
Pro-Flex Pro-Poly Underground Compression Tee
Pro-Flex Pro-Poly Underground Compression Tees are designed for joining compatible MDPE gas piping in underground Natural Gas and LP (Propane) distribution systems. This listing includes both same-size compression tees and reducing tee configurations for CTS and IPS polyethylene gas pipe.
Standard PETE2-Series tees join three MDPE gas pipes of the same size, while the PERTE2 reducing tees provide a smaller branch connection. Select the fitting according to the complete pipe size, CTS or IPS sizing system, SDR, and branch configuration required for the installation.

Standard Tee Application
The Pro-Flex PETE2-Series Poly Tee Fitting is designed to join three MDPE gas pipes of the same size. Match the fitting to the pipe size, CTS or IPS dimensional system, and SDR before installation.
Reducing Tee Application
Reducing tees provide a smaller branch connection from the main run. Confirm all three connection sizes before ordering, including whether the branch uses CTS or IPS dimensions.
For configurations identified by SDR, verify compatibility with the polyethylene gas pipe being connected.

CTS, IPS & SDR Selection
CTS and IPS are different polyethylene pipe dimensional systems. Select each fitting using the complete pipe designation rather than nominal pipe size alone.
The 1-1/4" same-size tee is available in both SDR 11 and SDR 10. Make sure the fitting SDR matches the pipe configuration before ordering.
Installation
Pro-Flex specifies that product installation and system testing be completed by a qualified installer in accordance with NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1, National Gas & Propane Installation Code B149.1 in Canada, applicable state and local codes, and the current Pro-Flex Installation/Training Guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a PETE2-Series tee used for?
The PETE2-Series tee is designed to join three MDPE gas pipes of the same size.
What is the difference between a standard tee and a reducing tee?
A standard tee connects three pipes of the same size. A reducing tee has a smaller branch connection than the main run.
Can these fittings be used for Natural Gas?
Yes. Natural Gas is an approved gas for the PETE2-Series fitting system.
Can these fittings be used for propane?
Yes. LP (Propane) is also listed as an approved gas.
What is the maximum working pressure?
The manufacturer specifies a maximum working pressure of 80 PSIG.
What is the maximum testing pressure?
The manufacturer specifies a maximum testing pressure of 120 PSIG.
What standard tee sizes are available?
The PETE2-Series options in this listing include 1/2" CTS plus 3/4", 1", 1-1/4", 1-1/2", and 2" IPS sizes.
What is the difference between PETE2-0114C and PETE210-0114C?
PETE2-0114C is the 1-1/4" IPS SDR 11 tee, while PETE210-0114C is the 1-1/4" IPS SDR 10 tee.
Which reducing tee has a 1/2" CTS branch?
PERTE2-CCB-C has a 3/4" IPS x 3/4" IPS run with a 1/2" CTS branch.
Which reducing tee provides a 1" branch from a 1-1/4" run?
PERTE2-EED-C is the 1-1/4" IPS x 1-1/4" IPS x 1" IPS reducing tee.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Confirm all connection sizes before ordering.
- Confirm CTS or IPS sizing for each connection.
