Tee Connector with Male Thread 32 mm x 1" Detal-met TGZ32X1

Detal-met TGZ32X1 is a polypropylene (PP) tee connector featuring a 32 mm socket on two ends and a 1" male threaded branch. It is designed to join a threaded pipe or fitting to two plain PP pipes, providing a lightweight and corrosion-resistant junction suitable for plumbing, irrigation and general water distribution systems. The connector is compatible with standard 1" external threads and PP pipe sockets of 32 mm diameter when used with appropriate seals and installation methods.

Advantages

The TGZ32X1 tee connector offers chemical and corrosion resistance inherent to polypropylene, making it suitable for long-term use in water systems. Its combination of a 32 mm socket and a 1" male thread allows straightforward integration with both solvent-welded or socket-joined PP pipes and threaded metal or plastic fittings. The part is lightweight, non-conductive and requires minimal maintenance once installed.

Suitable for

• Household and commercial cold-water plumbing systems
• Irrigation and landscape watering networks
• Connections between PP piping runs and threaded valves, adapters or gauges
• Non-corrosive fluid distribution in industrial or agricultural installations

Key specifications

• Material: Polypropylene (PP)
• Socket diameter: 32 mm (for plain PP pipe connection)
• Thread type: External male 1" thread
• Connection types: Socket for PP pipe, external threaded branch
• Weight: Lightweight construction typical for PP fittings

How to use

Prepare pipe ends by cutting squarely and cleaning debris before assembly. For the 32 mm PP sockets, follow the manufacturer's recommended joining method for PP (such as solvent welding or appropriate thermal fusion technique) or use compatible mechanical couplers if applicable. Apply an appropriate thread sealant tape or liquid sealant to the 1" male thread before mating with the corresponding internal thread to ensure a watertight joint. Tighten threaded connections by hand initially and complete with a wrench to the torque recommended for the mating component, avoiding overtightening that could deform the polypropylene.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible seals and follow local plumbing codes. Confirm chemical compatibility of polypropylene with transported fluids and verify maximum pressure and temperature limits from system specifications before installation.
