AGAflex plumbing tee TK 3/2" — AGAflex 10040005, 3/2-inch threaded tee for piping

AGAflex TK 3/2" plumbing tee is a 3/2-inch threaded pipe fitting designed to create a three-way junction in heating, water and gas piping systems. The fitting provides a standard threaded connection for diverting flow, adding branch lines or replacing sections of existing installations. It is intended for use with compatible threaded pipes and appropriate sealing materials to ensure leak-free joints in residential and light commercial applications.

Advantages

The tee offers a straightforward threaded connection that simplifies installation and replacement in existing systems without the need for welding or soldering. Its three-way design allows flexible flow direction options and straightforward branching. The component is compatible with common plumbing sealants and sealing tapes, and its standardized thread form supports interchangeability with a wide range of threaded pipe fittings used in heating, water and gas lines.

Suitable for

• Creating branch lines in domestic heating systems
• Repairing or replacing sections of water supply pipes
• Diverting or splitting flow in light commercial plumbing
• Temporary or permanent connections in gas distribution where threaded fittings are permitted

Key specifications

• Connection type: threaded three-way tee
• Nominal size: 3/2 inch (3/2")
• Intended media: heating fluids, potable water, compatible gases where threads are allowed
• Application: piping branch, diversion and repair in residential and light commercial systems
• Material: metallic threaded fitting suitable for standard pipe materials (use compatible pipe material and sealant)

How to use

Prepare the mating pipe threads by cleaning and removing debris. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or sealing tape recommended for the specific media (water, heating fluid or gas) and local codes. Hand-start the tee onto the mating thread, then tighten with suitable tools to achieve a secure, leak-free joint without over-torquing. Verify alignment of the branch direction before final tightening. After assembly, perform pressure or leak testing according to applicable standards and installation rules.

Usage recommendations

Use only thread sealants and tapes rated for the conveyed media and operating temperature/pressure. For gas installations, follow local regulations and, where required, use certified components and a qualified installer. Inspect joints after initial pressure testing and during periodic maintenance to ensure continued tightness and integrity.
