Philmac Female Tee IPS-OD (ASTM D3035) – Compression x Threaded Branch Connection
The Philmac Female Tee IPS-OD (ASTM D3035) provides a convenient way to add a female threaded branch connection to an HDPE/polyethylene water line. The straight-through compression connections keep the poly water line continuous, while the center female threaded outlet provides a connection point for compatible male-threaded valves, fittings, or other water-system components.
This fitting is especially useful in rotational grazing and livestock watering systems for creating trough connections, branch outlets, and other access points along a main HDPE water line.
