The PERLA male tee fitting 20mm x 1/2 inch is a professional-grade plumbing component engineered for creating secure and reliable branch connections in water distribution systems. Constructed from high-quality polypropylene, this fitting is designed to withstand demanding environments while maintaining structural integrity. Its robust design ensures a leak-proof performance, making it an essential element for both residential and commercial plumbing projects where branching a pipe line is required.

Advantages

This tee fitting offers exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion, thanks to its polypropylene construction. The precision-engineered threads ensure a tight, secure fit that minimizes the risk of leaks over time. Its lightweight yet sturdy design simplifies the installation process, allowing for efficient assembly in various plumbing configurations. The blue and black color scheme provides clear identification, while the high pressure rating ensures consistent performance under standard operating conditions.

Suitable for

• Residential water supply systems
• Commercial plumbing installations
• Branching pipe lines in irrigation setups
• Cold water distribution networks

This fitting may not be suitable for high-temperature applications or systems carrying aggressive chemicals that are incompatible with polypropylene. It is also not intended for use in gas distribution lines or high-pressure steam systems.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 20 mm
• Connection type: 1/2 inch male outer thread
• Material: Polypropylene
• Maximum pressure: 16 Bar
• Angle: 90 degrees
• Color: Blue and black

To install the PERLA male tee, ensure the pipe ends are cut cleanly and are free of debris. Apply appropriate thread sealant to the male threaded connection to ensure a watertight seal. Insert the 20mm pipe into the compression side of the fitting and tighten the nut securely. Use a wrench to tighten the 1/2 inch threaded connection, taking care not to overtighten, which could damage the threads.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the outer diameter of your existing piping matches the 20mm specification.
• Ensure the 1/2 inch male thread is compatible with your female connection point.
• Check that the system pressure does not exceed the 16 Bar limit.
• Confirm compatibility of polypropylene with the fluid being transported.

For optimal longevity and performance, inspect all connections periodically for signs of wear or leakage. Ensure the fitting is properly supported to prevent mechanical stress on the pipe joints.
