Push-Fit Tee 16mm x BSPP 1/2" Male O-ring

Branch tee with 16 mm push-fit on both sides and a 1/2" BSPP male thread with O-ring on the centre. It screws into a port and carries the line on in both directions.

Key features

• Splits one line into two, for example to feed a second pole or add a bypass
• Plastic body with a plated metal thread
• BSPP thread with O-ring: a parallel thread. The O-ring seals against the face of the port, so no thread tape is needed

How to fit

• Cut the tube square with a tube cutter and check the end is clean and unmarked
• Push the tube in past the first resistance until it stops, then pull back to check it has gripped
• To remove, turn the water off, hold the release collar in and pull the tube out
• A drip when the water goes on usually means the tube is not fully home

Good to know

• For cold water. Drain the line in freezing weather
• Keep grit off the tube end, as it damages the seal inside the fitting
• Maximum working pressure 150 psi (10 bar)
