Product Description

Ashirvad Flowguard Plus Brass Threaded Tee provides versatile branching capabilities with the convenience of threaded connections. This hybrid fitting combines CPVC socket connections for solvent welding to pipes with brass threaded ports for connecting to fixtures, valves, or other threaded components. The tee configuration allows for creating perpendicular branches while maintaining the ability to connect threaded devices.

The brass threaded inserts are securely molded into the CPVC body, ensuring long-term reliability and leak-free performance. Available in various configurations (all threaded, partially threaded, or single threaded outlet), these tees provide flexibility in system design. Essential for manifold systems, fixture connections, and installations requiring both permanent pipe connections and removable threaded access.

Recommended Applications

• Manifold Systems: Creating distribution manifolds with threaded outlets for individual zones
• Valve Installations: Branching to threaded ball valves and shut-off valves
• Fixture Connections: Creating branches to threaded taps, showers, and fixtures
• Appliance Hookups: Branching to washing machines, dishwashers, and water purifiers
• Geyser Installations: Creating threaded connections for water heater inlet/outlet branches
• Multi-Outlet Distribution: Building systems with both permanent and removable connections

Installation Guidelines

FAQs

1) What configurations are available in brass threaded tees?

Brass threaded tees come in various configurations: all three ports threaded, two sockets + one threaded branch, or two threaded + one socket. The most common for CPVC systems is two socket connections (for pipes) plus one threaded branch (for fixtures/valves). Verify the configuration matches your application before purchasing.

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

Yes, always apply PTFE thread seal tape to brass threads before connecting fixtures or valves. 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 inserts maintain integrity at high temperatures.

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

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

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

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.
