A two-sided push fitting tee, also known as a push-to-connect tee, is a plumbing fitting used to create a branch connection in a pipeline. It is designed to connect three pipes together at a T-shaped junction. The "two-sided" aspect refers to the push-to-connect feature on two ends of the tee, which allows for quick and easy installation without the need for additional tools or soldering.
To install a two-sided push fitting tee, you simply need to insert the pipes into the respective openings and push them in until they form a secure connection. The push fitting uses an internal mechanism, usually comprised of O-rings and stainless steel gripping teeth, to create a watertight seal and hold the pipes in place. This allows for a reliable and leak-free connection without the need for soldering or other traditional joining methods.
