PERLA Male Tee Fitting 20mm x 3/4 inch Blue

The PERLA male tee fitting 20mm x 3/4 inch is a robust plumbing component engineered for reliable water distribution systems. Constructed from high-quality polypropylene, this fitting provides a secure 90-degree connection between a 20mm pipe and a 3/4 inch external thread component. Its durable design ensures consistent performance and leak-proof integrity in both residential and commercial plumbing environments.

Advantages

This tee fitting offers exceptional resistance to corrosion and chemical degradation due to its polypropylene construction, making it suitable for long-term use in various water supply applications. The precision-engineered threads ensure a tight seal, minimizing the risk of leaks and maintenance requirements. Its lightweight yet sturdy build simplifies installation processes, while the 90-degree configuration allows for efficient routing of plumbing lines in tight spaces.

Suitable for

• Residential water supply systems
• Commercial plumbing installations
• Irrigation and garden watering setups
• Connecting pipes to threaded valves or faucets

This fitting is not suitable for high-temperature applications exceeding the thermal limits of polypropylene or for systems carrying aggressive chemicals not compatible with this material. It should not be used in high-pressure steam lines or environments where the pressure exceeds 16 bar.

Key specifications

• Material: Polypropylene
• Pipe diameter: 20 mm
• Thread size: 3/4 inch external thread
• Maximum pressure: 16 Bar
• Connection angle: 90 degrees
• Color: Blue and black

How to use

To install the PERLA male tee, ensure the pipe end is cut cleanly and deburred. Insert the 20mm pipe into the compression side of the fitting until it is fully seated. Tighten the compression nut securely to create a watertight seal. For the 3/4 inch external thread side, apply appropriate thread sealant tape to the male threads before screwing the fitting into the corresponding female port. Tighten manually or with a suitable tool, ensuring not to overtighten to avoid damaging the plastic threads.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the outer diameter of your existing pipe matches the 20mm requirement.
• Ensure the female port has a standard 3/4 inch internal thread.
• Check that the system operating pressure does not exceed 16 bar.
• Confirm compatibility of the polypropylene material with the intended fluid.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the connection points for any signs of moisture or pressure loss, especially after initial installation. Ensure that the piping system is properly supported to prevent excessive mechanical stress on the fitting.
