Pipe fitting tee Unidelta Trójnik PE 16x16x16 [40] — polyethylene equal tee 16 mm

Unidelta Trójnik PE 16x16x16 [40] — polyethylene equal tee 16 mm is a compact pipe fitting designed to connect three polyethylene (PE) pipes of identical 16 mm diameter. Intended for low-pressure fluid distribution, this equal tee provides a corrosion-resistant joint suitable for potable and non-potable water supply, small-scale irrigation lines and other plastic piping systems where a stable three-way connection is required.

Advantages

The fitting is made from polyethylene, offering resistance to corrosion, chemical inertness and reduced risk of scale buildup compared with metal fittings. Its equal-branch design ensures uniform flow distribution between the three outlets. The compact dimensions make it suitable for tight installation spaces and simple integration with standard 16 mm PE piping. Installation is fast and straightforward when used with compatible connection methods for polyethylene systems.

Suitable for

• Domestic and garden water supply lines
• Small irrigation systems and drip irrigation networks
• Distribution branches in low-pressure fluid systems
• Plastic piping assemblies in utility and hobby applications

Key specifications

• Material: polyethylene (PE)
• Configuration: equal tee (three identical outlets)
• Nominal diameter: 16 mm for all branches
• Application pressure range: suitable for low-pressure distribution systems
• Corrosion resistance: inherent to PE material
• Typical use environment: indoor and outdoor non-high-pressure installations

How to use

Prepare the 16 mm PE pipes by cutting squarely and cleaning the ends to remove debris. Depending on the chosen joining method (mechanical compression fittings, electrofusion, or solvent-free push-fit compatible with PE), insert or fuse the pipe ends into the tee until the correct engagement depth is reached. Ensure joints are assembled according to the connection method manufacturer's instructions, checking alignment to avoid stress on the fitting. After installation, test the assembled system under the appropriate low-pressure conditions to confirm there are no leaks before regular use.

Usage recommendations

Use the tee only with compatible 16 mm PE piping and approved connection techniques for polyethylene systems. Avoid exposure to high pressure or aggressive solvents not intended for PE. For outdoor installations, protect the fitting and pipes from prolonged UV exposure where necessary and follow local plumbing codes and standards for potable water if used in drinking-water systems.
