Alkotest TW3234 brass tee connector with female thread G 1¼" (32 x 3/4") for plumbing

Alkotest TW3234 brass tee connector with female thread G 1¼" (32 x 3/4") is a threaded plumbing fitting designed to join three pipe runs in a T configuration. Manufactured from brass, the fitting provides mechanical strength and corrosion resistance suitable for domestic and light commercial water supply systems. The internal (female) threads allow secure connections to corresponding male-threaded pipes or adapters, enabling diversion, branching, or installation of auxiliary lines without soldering or welding.

Advantages

The brass construction offers durability and resistance to corrosion, making the connector suitable for potable water and typical household plumbing conditions. Female threads simplify installation with readily available male-threaded components and fittings. The tee design provides a compact solution for creating a branch line while maintaining a sealed, threaded connection. The product’s standardized G thread form ensures compatibility with common threaded plumbing parts.

Suitable for

• Connecting three threaded pipes in water supply systems
• Creating a branch for fixtures such as faucets, washing machines, or garden taps
• Repairing or modifying domestic and light commercial plumbing networks
• Applications where a threaded, non-soldered joint is preferred

Key specifications

• Material: brass
• Connector type: tee (T) with three female (internal) threads
• Thread standard: G (BSP parallel) female threads
• Size: 32 x 3/4" (corresponding to G 1¼" with metric designation 32 x 3/4")
• Application: potable water and general plumbing installations

How to use

Before installation, ensure mating threads on pipes or adapters are clean and free of debris. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads following the sealant manufacturer’s instructions to ensure a watertight joint. Thread the male fittings into the tee’s female ports by hand until snug, then tighten with an appropriate wrench to the recommended torque for brass threaded fittings to avoid over-tightening. Verify alignment of the branch line and test the assembly under normal operating pressure to check for leaks.

Usage recommendations

Use a suitable thread sealant or PTFE tape with compatible rating for potable water. Avoid excessive wrench torque to prevent deformation of threads. Inspect periodically for signs of leakage or corrosion, especially in systems with variable water quality or temperature.
