Prevost Aluminum Equal Female Tee Fitting For Pipe

Description

Prevost PPS Aluminum Equal Tee

The Prevost PPS Aluminum Equal Tee is the cornerstone of effective air distribution networks, designed to split a single air line into two equal paths or create drop points from a main header. This “T” shaped connector is vital for building ring mains and branching out supply lines to different zones of a facility.

Unlike threaded iron tees that are heavy, prone to leaks, and restrict flow, the PPS Equal Tee offers a lightweight, high-flow solution that installs in seconds. It ensures that airflow is distributed evenly without the turbulence often associated with rough internal casting surfaces.

Key Features & Benefits

• Efficient Air Distribution: The internal bore is perfectly calibrated to match the pipe diameter, ensuring that air splits cleanly between the main line and the branch without creating back-pressure or significant restrictions.
• Modular System Expansion: This fitting is essential for adding new “drops” to a system. It allows you to easily tap into a main line to supply a new workstation or piece of equipment without complex tooling.
• PPS Grip & Seal: Features the signature stainless steel grip ring for a secure mechanical hold and a double-lubricated NBR seal that guarantees zero leaks, even under fluctuating pressures.
• Corrosion-Free Durability: The 100% aluminum alloy body is immune to rust, ensuring that the fitting will never seize or contaminate the air stream with corrosion flakes.
• Rigid & Reliable: Provides a solid junction point that maintains structural integrity across long pipe spans, resisting sagging or misalignment.

Ideal Applications

• Ring Main Loops: Creating a closed-loop system where air circulates around the perimeter of a building, maintaining equal pressure at all points.
• Main Drops: Installing a tee in the ceiling header to drop a vertical pipe down to a floor-level manifold or FRL unit.
• Branching Lines: Splitting a main supply line to serve two different production lines simultaneously.
