The brass tee 3/4 inch takes a 3/4 inch branch off a threaded line. This size suits main house water connections, meters and larger valves.
All three ends carry BSP threads. As a result, you can add a gauge, a second tap or a drain point in one compact fitting.
What is a brass tee 3/4 inch?
A brass tee is a T-shaped threaded brass fitting with three openings. It takes a branch off a line or joins two flows into one.
Equal tees have three openings of the same size. Because brass holds a precise thread, tees are used in manifolds, gauge points and gas assemblies.
