The PERLA male tee is a professional-grade plumbing fitting engineered for secure and efficient pipe connections in water distribution systems. Designed with a 25mm diameter and a 1/2 inch male thread, this component provides a robust solution for branching piping networks. Its construction from high-quality polypropylene ensures long-term durability and resistance to environmental factors, making it a reliable choice for both residential and commercial plumbing infrastructure.
Advantages
This male tee offers exceptional performance due to its high-pressure rating of up to 16 Bar, ensuring stability in demanding water supply systems. The precision-engineered threads provide a tight, leak-proof seal, which minimizes the risk of water loss and maintenance issues. Its lightweight yet sturdy polypropylene material simplifies the installation process while maintaining structural integrity over time. The 90-degree configuration allows for clean and organized pipe routing, contributing to a professional finish in any plumbing setup.
Suitable for
- Connecting 25mm pipes to 1/2 inch threaded components
- Residential water supply systems
- Commercial irrigation and piping networks
- Branching water lines at a 90-degree angle
This fitting may not be suitable for high-temperature applications, such as hot water distribution or steam systems, as polypropylene is primarily intended for cold water use. It is also not designed for use with chemical solvents or aggressive fluids that could degrade the plastic material.
Key specifications
- Diameter: 25 mm
- Thread: 1/2 inch male thread
- Material: Polypropylene
- Maximum pressure: 16 Bar
- Angle: 90 degrees
- Color: Blue and black
To install the PERLA male tee, ensure the pipe end is cut cleanly and deburred to prevent damage to the internal seals. Insert the pipe into the fitting until it reaches the stop point, then tighten the nut securely to compress the seal. For the threaded connection, apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male thread before screwing it into the corresponding female port to ensure a watertight connection. Do not overtighten the threaded connection to avoid damaging the plastic threads.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify the outer diameter of your existing piping matches the 25mm specification
- Ensure the 1/2 inch male thread is compatible with your existing female connection
- Confirm the system pressure does not exceed the 16 Bar limit
- Check that the fluid being transported is compatible with polypropylene
For optimal results, ensure all connections are hand-tightened followed by a slight turn with a wrench if necessary, and always perform a pressure test on the system before finalizing the installation to confirm there are no leaks.
