PERLA Male Tee 32mm x 1 inch Blue

The PERLA male tee is a robust plumbing fitting engineered for reliable pipe connections in irrigation and water distribution networks. Featuring a 32mm compression end and a 1-inch male threaded outlet, this component facilitates a secure 90-degree transition between pipe segments. Constructed from high-quality polypropylene, it is designed to withstand demanding environments while maintaining structural integrity and flow efficiency in both professional and residential plumbing systems.

Advantages

This male tee offers exceptional durability due to its polypropylene construction, which provides excellent resistance to chemical corrosion and environmental stress. The precision-engineered design ensures a leak-proof seal, minimizing the risk of water loss in pressurized systems. Its versatile configuration allows for seamless integration into existing setups, while the high-pressure rating ensures consistent performance under various operating conditions.

Suitable for

• Agricultural and garden irrigation systems
• Potable water distribution networks
• Connecting polyethylene pipes to threaded valves or pumps
• Residential plumbing infrastructure

This fitting may not be suitable for high-temperature applications, such as hot water supply lines, as polypropylene is primarily intended for cold water systems. It is also not designed for use with gas piping or high-pressure steam installations.

Key specifications

• Material: Polypropylene
• Pipe diameter: 32 mm
• Thread size: 1 inch male thread
• Maximum operating pressure: 16 Bar
• Connection angle: 90 degrees
• Color: Blue and black

To install the PERLA male tee, first ensure the pipe end is cut square and free of burrs. Insert the pipe into the compression side of the fitting until it reaches the internal stop, then tighten the nut firmly by hand or with a suitable wrench to compress the internal seal. For the threaded side, apply appropriate thread sealant tape to the male threads before screwing it into the corresponding female port to ensure a watertight connection.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the compatibility of the pipe material with compression fittings
• Ensure the thread type matches your existing equipment
• Check the maximum pressure requirements of your specific system
• Confirm the pipe outer diameter matches the 32mm specification

For optimal performance and longevity, avoid overtightening the compression nut, as this may damage the internal components. Regularly inspect the connection for signs of leakage, especially after significant temperature fluctuations or system maintenance.
