Product Description

Ashirvad Flowguard Plus CPVC Brass Tee MABT provides versatile branching capabilities with the convenience of male threaded connections. This hybrid fitting combines CPVC socket connections for solvent welding to pipes with a brass male threaded branch for connecting to female threaded components like tanks, equipment, or valves. The tee configuration allows for creating perpendicular branches while maintaining the ability to connect threaded devices.

The brass male threaded insert is securely molded into the CPVC body, ensuring long-term reliability and leak-free performance. Essential for tank connections, equipment installations, and applications requiring both permanent pipe connections and removable threaded access. The corrosion-resistant brass ensures durability in both hot and cold water applications.

Recommended Applications

• Tank Connections: Branching to overhead tank female threaded outlets
• Equipment Installations: Creating branches to pumps, filters, and water treatment equipment
• Manifold Systems: Building distribution manifolds with male threaded outlets
• Valve Connections: Branching to female threaded ball valves and shut-off valves
• Appliance Hookups: Creating branches to equipment with female threaded connections
• Multi-Outlet Distribution: Systems requiring both permanent and removable connections

Installation Guidelines

FAQs

1) What do the size markings mean on brass tees?

Brass tee sizes are typically written as "Run x Run x Branch". For example, 3/4" x 3/4" x 1/2" means the two run ports (main line) are 3/4" sockets and the branch port is 1/2" male brass thread. Verify the configuration matches your application before purchasing.

2) Do I need PTFE tape on brass threaded tees?

Yes, always apply PTFE thread seal tape to the brass male threads before screwing into female threaded components. Use 3-4 wraps of white PTFE tape wound clockwise. This ensures leak-free seals and allows for future disassembly if needed.

3) Can brass threaded tees be used for hot water?

Yes, Ashirvad Flowguard Plus brass threaded tees are rated for hot water service up to 93°C (200°F). They're ideal for geyser manifolds, hot water distribution, and solar heater systems. The brass insert maintains integrity at high temperatures.

4) What's the advantage of brass threaded tees over all-CPVC tees?

Brass threaded tees provide removable connections for equipment and tanks, allowing easy maintenance and replacement without cutting pipes. They're essential when connecting to female threaded components or equipment requiring future access. All-CPVC tees create permanent solvent-welded connections.

5) How do I prevent cracking the CPVC body when tightening?

Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench for only 1-2 additional turns. Over-tightening can crack the CPVC body or damage brass inserts. The connection should be snug and leak-free without excessive force. If leaks occur, check PTFE tape application rather than over-tightening.
