Tee

A tee is a T-shaped plumbing fitting with three openings that allow for the connection of three separate pipes. It is used to combine or split the flow of water, gas, or other fluids in the system. Tees are available in different configurations, such as equal tees (all openings are the same size) and reducing tees (one opening is smaller), accommodating various plumbing needs. They are made from materials like PVC, copper, brass, or steel, depending on the application. Proper installation of tees ensures effective branching, maintaining system flow, pressure, and compliance with plumbing codes.
