• Cost-effective solution for complex piping layouts
• Lightweight yet strong construction
• Resistant to most chemicals and suitable for potable water

Installation:

1. Clean all connecting surfaces with PVC primer.
2. Apply PVC cement to both the fitting and the pipes for the slip connections.
3. Insert the 2" pipes into the slip ends of the tee, twisting slightly for even distribution of cement.
4. For the 0.5" FPT connection, use PTFE tape on the male threads of the connecting pipe or fitting.
5. Hand-tighten the threaded connection, then use a wrench to tighten an additional 1-2 turns. Be careful not to overtighten.
6. Allow proper curing time as per the cement manufacturer's instructions before pressurizing the system.
