PERLA Male Tee 25mm x 1 inch Blue

The PERLA male tee is a professional-grade plumbing fitting engineered for robust and secure pipe connections in water distribution systems. Designed with a 25mm pipe connection and a 1-inch male threaded outlet, this component facilitates a reliable 90-degree transition between piping segments. Constructed from high-quality polypropylene, it offers excellent resistance to chemical corrosion and mechanical stress, ensuring long-term performance in both residential and commercial plumbing installations.

Advantages

This male tee provides exceptional durability and structural integrity due to its high-grade polypropylene construction. The precision-engineered threads ensure a tight, leak-proof seal, which is essential for maintaining pressure stability within water supply networks. Its lightweight design simplifies handling during installation, while the robust material composition allows it to withstand operating pressures up to 16 bar, making it a dependable choice for demanding plumbing environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting 25mm polyethylene pipes to 1-inch threaded components
• Residential water supply and irrigation systems
• Commercial plumbing and fluid distribution networks
• Creating 90-degree branch connections in pressurized water lines

When it may not be suitable

This fitting is not intended for use with high-temperature steam or aggressive chemical solvents that are incompatible with polypropylene. It should not be used in systems where the operating pressure consistently exceeds 16 bar or in applications requiring metal-to-metal structural load-bearing connections.

Key specifications

• Pipe diameter: 25 mm
• Thread size: 1 inch male thread
• Material: Polypropylene
• Maximum operating 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 to prevent damage to the internal sealing elements. Insert the 25mm pipe into the compression side of the fitting until it reaches the internal stop, then tighten the nut firmly by hand or with an appropriate tool to secure the connection. For the 1-inch male threaded side, apply an appropriate thread sealant, such as PTFE tape, to the threads before screwing it into the corresponding female fitting. Tighten until secure, ensuring that the connection is not overtightened to avoid damaging the plastic threads.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your pipe outer diameter is exactly 25mm
• Ensure the mating female thread is standard 1-inch BSP
• Check that the system pressure does not exceed the 16 bar limit
• Confirm chemical compatibility if the fluid is not standard water

Usage recommendations: Regularly inspect all plumbing connections for signs of moisture or pressure drops. When tightening the threaded connection, use manual force or a strap wrench to avoid cracking the polypropylene material.
