Philmac Reducing Tee IPS-OD (ASTM D3035) – Compression Branch Connection for HDPE Pipe

The Philmac Reducing Tee IPS-OD (ASTM D3035) provides a reliable way to create a smaller branch line from a larger HDPE/polyethylene water line. With compression connections on all three outlets, the reducing tee allows you to continue the main water line while branching off to a smaller pipe size.

This fitting is especially useful in rotational grazing and livestock watering systems, where larger main lines are often used to carry water across the farm and smaller branch lines supply individual paddocks, troughs, or watering points.

Key Features

Reducing Branch Connection: Allows a smaller HDPE pipe to branch from a larger main water line.

Compression Connections: Provides compression-style connections for compatible HDPE/polyethylene pipe.

230 PSI Rated: Suitable for water systems operating at pressures up to 230 PSI.

NSF 61 Certified: Suitable for potable water applications.

ASTM D3035 IPS-OD Compatible: Designed for compatible IPS-OD polyethylene pipe manufactured to ASTM D3035.

No Glue or Heat Fusion: Compression installation eliminates the need for solvent cement or specialized fusion equipment.

Ideal for Main-to-Branch Transitions: A practical fitting when a large water main needs to supply a smaller distribution line.

Rotational Grazing Ready: Excellent for distributing water from a main line to individual paddocks and livestock watering locations.

Installation Tip

Confirm the pipe size for all three connections before ordering, particularly the reduced branch size. Make sure each HDPE pipe is cut square, clean, and free from damage before inserting it into the compression fitting.

When designing a grazing water system, using a larger main line with smaller branches can be an effective way to distribute water to multiple paddocks while maintaining an organized water network.

Use Summary

The Philmac Reducing Tee IPS-OD (ASTM D3035) provides a simple and dependable way to branch a smaller HDPE/polyethylene line from a larger main line. With its 230 PSI rating, NSF 61 certification, and compression connections, it is an excellent choice for livestock watering and rotational grazing water systems.
