When it comes to creating a well-structured and efficient piping layout, the Female Tee is the unsung hero that quietly keeps everything flowing in the right direction. This simple yet essential fitting is designed in a classic “T” shape and features internal (female) threads on all three ends. Its primary role? To connect three pipes, one inlet and two outlets (or vice versa), and create a 90-degree branch from the main line.
The Female Tee is a powerhouse of versatility. Whether you’re dealing with water, gas, steam, oil, or air, this connector ensures leak-proof, secure joints in plumbing, HVAC, chemical, petrochemical, and industrial piping systems.
Available in a wide range of materials, stainless steel for durability, brass for corrosion resistance, or PVC for lightweight applications, Female Tees are designed to match your system’s needs, whether for high pressure or delicate flow control. They also come in equal or reducing configurations, giving engineers the flexibility to adjust pipe sizes while maintaining seamless connections.
