Industrial and Residential Applications of the Brass Tee
Brass Tee is a kind of pipe fitting used to join two or more plumbing pipes at a 90 degree angle. As its name indicates, the brass tee is made of brass material and in T-shaped appearance. Brass tee is one of the most useful connectors and is widely used in industrial and residential applications.
Brass tee enables the plumber to combine the flow of two separate pipes into a single line. It can also divide a single flowing supply line into two different areas.
For instance, a brass tee can be used at the main water supply line in a home to direct some water to the bathroom and some to the kitchen. It may also be used in the wastewater system to joins two separate sewer lines into a single main drain line.
In industrial applications, a brass tee can join two pipes carrying different liquids, which blends the two materials into a single stream as they flow to their final destination.
Brass tees are usually applied in well-matched material plumbers. For example, the steel tees connect steel pipes or tubes, while the plastic tees connect two plastic tubes.
