Pipe Tee ALFA RK Trójnik PE GW 40×5/4×40 A-U — ALFA RK 603640

ALFA RK Trójnik PE GW 40×5/4×40 A-U is a polyethylene (PE) pipe tee intended for creating a three-way connection between two 40 mm pipe runs and a threaded 5/4 (1¼") branch. Designed for water distribution and low-pressure fluid systems, the fitting combines a smooth PE body with a female threaded outlet to accept threaded accessories or valves, offering a corrosion-resistant alternative to metal tees for plumbing and irrigation installations.

Advantages

The PE construction ensures long-term resistance to corrosion and chemical attack while remaining lightweight and easy to handle during installation. The integrated female thread provides a secure mechanical connection to threaded components without the need for additional adapters when matching sizes are used. Low thermal conductivity reduces condensation risk compared with metal fittings, and the tee's geometry supports stable flow distribution with minimal pressure drop in typical low-pressure applications.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial water distribution
• Irrigation systems and garden piping
• Low-pressure plumbing connections
• Projects requiring a threaded branch for valves or meters

Key specifications

• Material: polyethylene (PE)
• Main pipe diameter: 40 mm
• Branch connection: female threaded 5/4 (1¼")
• Connection type: slip/solvent or butt fusion for main runs, threaded branch for accessory
• Intended use: water supply and low-pressure fluid distribution
• Resistance: corrosion- and chemical-resistant under normal operating conditions

How to use

Select compatible 40 mm PE pipes and prepare pipe ends according to the chosen joining method (cleaning and alignment for solvent welding or preparation for butt fusion where applicable). Install the tee in-line with the pipeline so that the threaded branch is oriented for convenient access to connect a valve, meter, or other threaded accessory. Tighten threaded connections to the manufacturer's recommended torque or sealing practice to ensure a leak-free joint. Follow standard local codes and good installation practice for supports, alignment and testing after assembly.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the threaded branch for debris and apply appropriate thread sealant or tape if required by the accessory manufacturer. Avoid exposing PE fittings to prolonged direct sunlight without UV protection and verify that system pressure and temperature remain within material limits for safe operation.
