TDM Brass 20801 Threaded Tee 1" x 1" x 1" Internal Thread

The TDM Brass 20801 Threaded Tee is a robust plumbing component engineered for creating secure, three-way connections in piping systems. Featuring three identical 1-inch internal thread ports, this fitting allows for the efficient branching of water or fluid lines. Its solid brass construction ensures long-term durability and reliable performance in both residential and industrial plumbing environments.

Advantages

This brass tee offers exceptional resistance to corrosion and mechanical stress, ensuring a long service life even in demanding conditions. The precision-machined internal threads provide a tight, leak-proof seal when connected to compatible pipes, minimizing the risk of system failures. Its compact design facilitates easy installation in tight spaces, while the high-quality material composition maintains structural integrity under varying pressure and temperature levels.

Suitable for

• Residential water supply systems
• Heating and cooling circuit branching
• Industrial fluid distribution networks
• Plumbing maintenance and repair projects

When it may not be suitable

This fitting is not intended for use with aggressive chemicals that may react with brass or in high-pressure steam systems exceeding the material's rated capacity. It is also not suitable for applications requiring non-metallic or food-grade specific materials.

Key specifications

• Material: Brass
• Connection type: Internal thread (female)
• Size: 1 inch x 1 inch x 1 inch
• Configuration: Tee (three-way)

How to use

To install the TDM Brass 20801, ensure that the pipe ends are clean and free of debris. Apply an appropriate thread sealant, such as PTFE tape or pipe dope, to the male threads of the connecting pipes. Screw the pipes into the internal thread ports of the tee by hand, then tighten securely using a suitable wrench. Avoid overtightening to prevent damage to the threads or the fitting body.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing piping system uses 1-inch male threaded connections.
• Ensure the operating pressure and temperature of your system are within the standard limits for brass fittings.
• Check for compatibility with the fluid being transported to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations: Regularly inspect the connection points for any signs of moisture or leaks after initial installation. It is recommended to use compatible brass or copper piping to prevent galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals.
