PVC Pressure Female Tee

PVC Pressure Female Tee (Cat 21)

Description:
The PVC Pressure Female Tee (Cat 21) is designed to create a 90° branch in PVC pressure pipelines while adapting the branch outlet to a female threaded connection. The main run of the tee is solvent-welded to PVC pipe of equal size, while the centre branch is fitted with a female BSP thread, allowing secure connection to threaded fittings such as risers, valves, or sprinkler heads.

Made from high-quality PVC-U (unplasticised polyvinyl chloride), these tees are strong, reliable, and resistant to corrosion and chemicals, making them suitable for long-term use in pressure-rated systems.
