Prevost Female Thread Tee Fitting For Pipe

Description

Prevost PPS Aluminum Female Threaded Tee

The Prevost PPS Aluminum Female Threaded Tee is a versatile interface fitting designed to integrate threaded components directly into your compressed air piping network. This connector joins two sections of Prevost aluminum pipe on the main run while providing a heavy-duty female threaded outlet on the branch.

This fitting is the perfect solution for creating “drops” or outlet points. It allows you to mount quick couplers, ball valves, or air treatment units directly to the pipe line, bridging the gap between the modular PPS pipe system and standard threaded equipment.

Key Features & Benefits

• Seamless Equipment Integration: Combines the speed of push-to-connect piping with universal threaded compatibility. It eliminates the need for complex adapter assemblies when installing accessories.
• Direct Outlet Creation: Ideal for installing quick coupling wall brackets or ball valves directly onto the pipe run, creating a compact and rigid outlet station.
• High-Strength Threading: The female thread (available in NPT or BSP) is precision-machined to withstand the torque required for sealing threaded components, ensuring a secure, strip-resistant connection.
• Leak-Free Performance: The pipe connections utilize Prevost’s signature stainless steel grip ring and lubricated seals, while the threaded branch provides a solid platform for sealing tape or paste.
• Corrosion Resistant: Like the rest of the PPS system, the body is constructed from treated aluminum alloy, preventing rust and ensuring the longevity of downstream tools.
