Galvanised Threaded Equal Tee
A tee combines or divides fluid flow. Tees can connect pipes of different diameters, change the direction of a pipe run, or both. Available in various materials, sizes and finishes, they may also be used to transport two-fluid mixtures. A Galvanized Tee is made from carbon steel coated with a layer of zinc through the galvanization process. They provide moderate corrosion resistance, but the zinc coating can wear off over time. They are generally cheaper than stainless steel tees and are suitable for plumbing, HVAC, and general piping applications where corrosion resistance is not critical. Often used in construction, agriculture, and industrial settings.
Types of Galvanized Threaded Tees
- Various Sizes and Threads: Available in various sizes and thread types to suit different piping system requirements
- Equal Tee: All three branches are the same size.
- Reducing Tee: One or more branches are smaller than the main branch.
- Threaded Tee with Socket: Features a socket connection on one or more branches.
- Available in malleable iron type
Description
A galvanized threaded tee is a type of pipe fitting used to connect three pipes or tubes together in a piping system, forming a “T” shape. Here’s its use and function:
Use
1. Piping Systems: Galvanized threaded tees are commonly used in piping systems to connect pipes or tubes in various industries, such as plumbing, HVAC, oil and gas, and chemical processing.
2. Water Supply Systems: Galvanized threaded tees are often used in water supply systems to distribute water to different parts of a building or facility.
3. Irrigation Systems: Galvanized threaded tees are used in irrigation systems to distribute water to different parts of a field or landscape.
Function
1. Connection and Branching: Galvanized threaded tees enable connection and branching of three pipes or tubes, allowing for changes in direction and distribution of fluids.
2. Flow Control: Galvanized threaded tees can be used to control flow rates and pressures in a piping system.
3. Leak-Tight Seal: The threaded connections provide a leak-tight seal, ensuring the integrity of the piping system and preventing fluid leaks.
Key Features
1. Galvanized Material: Provides corrosion resistance and durability.
2. Threaded Connections: Enables easy connection and disconnection of pipes or tubes.
3. T-Shape Design: Allows for connection and branching of three pipes or tubes.
4. Various Sizes and Threads: Available in various sizes and thread types to suit different piping system requirements.
Types of Galvanized Threaded Tees

3. Threaded Tee with Socket: Features a socket connection on one or more branches.
Installation and Usage
1. Prepare Pipes and Fittings: Prepare the pipes and fittings for connection, ensuring they are clean and free of debris.
2. Apply Thread Sealant: Apply a thread sealant to the threaded connections to ensure a leak-tight seal.
3. Connect Pipes and Fittings: Connect the pipes and fittings, ensuring a secure and leak-tight connection.
4. Tighten Connections: Tighten the connections evenly and securely to ensure a leak-tight seal.
5. Test and Inspect: Test and inspect the connection to ensure it is secure and leak-free.
