90° Tee Female / Female / Female with central threaded branch in PVC

90° Tee Female / Female / Female with central threaded branch in PVC (Reference: 5832)

This Codital PVC PN16 fitting represents an advanced technical solution for installations requiring a perpendicular branch with mixed connection. Designed according to the strictest European standards, this triple female tee integrates a central threaded branch allowing secure screwed connection. The Codital brand guarantees industrial quality suitable for professional requirements as well as individual needs.

Applications and use cases

This 90° tee finds its place in numerous hydraulic configurations. For agricultural irrigation networks, it allows creating branches to different cultivation zones while integrating a screwed connection point for sensors or valves. In the field of swimming pools and spas, it facilitates the connection of filtration systems with the possibility of adding auxiliary equipment on the threaded branch.

Construction professionals appreciate its versatility for central heating installations, allowing connection of main pipes while integrating temperature probes or air vents on the threaded outlet. Industrial users use it for cooling circuits, compressed air networks and PVC-compatible chemical installations, where resistance to corrosive products is essential.

Technical specifications and innovation

The PVC PN16 material gives this fitting pressure resistance up to 16 bars at 20°C, progressively decreasing with temperature rise according to standardized charts. The dual connection technology constitutes its major innovation: the two lateral outlets use cementing according to EN 1452 standard, guaranteeing permanent sealing and optimal mechanical resistance.

The central threaded branch complies with ISO 228-1 standard (gas thread), ensuring universal compatibility with all threaded elements on the market. This design avoids additional adapters, reducing leak risks and simplifying installation. The 90° geometry optimizes hydraulic flow by minimizing pressure losses, crucial for maintaining pump performance.

The range of diameters from 16 to 110mm covers most applications, from small domestic installations to large industrial networks. Each diameter maintains the same proportions and sealing qualities, thanks to Codital manufacturing processes under permanent quality control.

Installation and practical use

Installing this tee requires careful surface preparation. For cemented connections, degrease and lightly sand the PVC pipes, then apply special pressure PVC cement evenly on both surfaces. The fitting must be firm and held for at least 30 seconds. Respect a 24-hour drying time before pressurizing to guarantee complete polymerization.

For the threaded branch, use Teflon tape or specific sealing paste on the male thread. Tightening must be progressive and controlled to avoid PVC cracking. A moderate tightening torque is sufficient thanks to the efficiency of ISO 228-1 threading. Position the fitting in the optimal flow direction, with the branch serving as a high point for air evacuation.

Preventive maintenance is limited to periodic visual checks of connections. Since PVC does not fear corrosion, only lime deposits may require gentle cleaning. In case of frost, completely drain the circuit as PVC becomes fragile at low temperatures.

Expert advice and product synergies

Maximize this tee's performance by associating it with PVC PN16 pipes of the same nominal pressure. Avoid mixing with lower pressure fittings that would constitute weak points. For buried installations, complete with warning mesh and inspection chambers at strategic points.

In irrigation networks, associate this tee with shut-off valves on each branch for selective zone control. The threaded branch can accommodate a pressure gauge for pressure monitoring or a quick coupling for temporary connections. This configuration allows easy maintenance without complete network shutdown.

For industrial applications, integrate flow or temperature sensors on the branch for automated supervision. Pay attention to transported fluids: PVC is compatible with most chemicals but incompatible with organic solvents and hydrocarbons. Always check chemical compatibility before installation.

A professional tip: systematically orient the branch upward to facilitate air purging during commissioning. This precaution avoids air pockets that disturb flow and can cause water hammer.
