Male x Male x Male Tees

Male x Male x Male Tees

Male x Male x Male Tees are hydraulic fittings that feature three male ends, forming a tee shape. Fitting tees are crucial elements in piping systems as they facilitate the flow of fluids through the pipes and enable diversion or merging in various directions. Tee fittings are distinguished by their T shape, which consists of three branches: one in the middle and two on the sides. The central branch is perpendicular to the side branches, giving tee fittings their T shape. Amongst our extensive range, you will find Male x Male x Male Tees of various sizes which conform to a range of system specifications.

How Tee Adaptors Work

Tee fittings are created to connect various sections of tubes or pipes, with many of them featuring threading. Some tee fittings have external threading, like the ones shown in the image above, while others have internal threading. By utilizing this threading, you can link tube or pipe sections to a tee fitting.

Keep in mind that tee fittings act as branch connectors, transforming a single line into two outlets.

Types of Tee Adaptors

Reducing Tee: With branches of varying diameters, reducing tees enable the redirection of fluid from a larger pipe to a smaller one. These tee fittings are beneficial in scenarios where a gradual reduction in flow rate is needed to reduce pressure loss and fluid fluctuations.

Straight Tee: is a typical tee fitting where all branch pipes share the same diameter. This type of fitting is commonly employed when there is a requirement to direct fluid into two identical pipes, like in a T-split configuration.

Female Tee: A female tee features an inlet and two outlets, with one outlet typically having male threading for linking to other pipes or fittings. This tee fitting is frequently employed in situations requiring connections to accessories or additional pipes.

Equal vs Reducing Tee Adaptors

• Tee fittings are typically categorized as either equal or reducing.
• Equal tee fittings have openings of the same diameter, making all three openings the same size.
• Reducing tee fittings have openings of varying sizes.
• In reducing tee fittings, the central inlet has a larger diameter compared to the two side outlets.
• These fittings are utilized to redirect the flow of water or fluid from a larger pipe to two smaller pipes.
