To install the PERLA female tee, ensure the pipe ends are clean and free of debris. Apply appropriate thread sealant to the male threaded component before screwing it into the 1/2 inch internal thread of the tee. Tighten the connection securely using standard plumbing tools, taking care not to overtighten, which could damage the plastic threads. Once installed, perform a pressure test to verify that the connection is completely leak-free before finalizing the system setup.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 20 mm pipe diameter matches your existing system requirements.
• Ensure the 1/2 inch internal thread is compatible with your male-threaded fittings.
• Confirm that the operating pressure of your system does not exceed 16 Bar.
• Check the chemical compatibility of polypropylene with the fluids being transported.

Always inspect the fitting for any signs of damage before installation and ensure that all connections are properly aligned to prevent mechanical stress on the pipe joints.
