A tap tee is a cast iron fitting with a threaded female side inlet that allows for the addition of a branch line to an existing main line. It is used in drainage, waste, and vent systems to create new branches or connections without disrupting the main flow. Tap tees are designed to provide a secure, leak-proof joint, ensuring efficient drainage and compliance with plumbing codes. Proper installation of tap tees, including securing the threads and aligning the branch connection, helps maintain system integrity and flow efficiency.
