Premium UPVC Male-to-Female Insertion Socket Tees & H-Type Branching Tees

Streamline your plumbing layout and save vertical clearance with our premium UPVC male-to-female insertion socket tees and H-type parallel branching tees, available at Atradesen.com. Molded from high-density, potable-grade, and chemical-grade UPVC (Unplasticized PVC), these industrial fittings provide outstanding mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and a solid 16kg pressure rating for water treatment systems, marine aquariums, and agricultural manifolds.

Whether you are routing dual parallel pipeline runs or branching directly into ball valves within a tight enclosure, this specialized tee series minimizes the physical footprint of your connections.

Innovative Male-to-Female Insertion (Socket) Tee

Standard tees feature female sockets on all three ends, meaning you must cut and glue separate short segments of straight pipe to link them directly to valves or other female ports. Our specialized Socket Tee features a single-spigot design: the two straight-through inline ends are standard female sockets that solvent-weld directly onto standard pipes, while the central branch is a male spigot (outer diameter). This male branch slides directly into valves, unions, or other female pipe joints of the same nominal size, conserving space and reducing transitional adapters.

H-Type Parallel & Symmetrical Tee (Unassembled Parts)

Constructed by combining a male-to-female spigot elbow with a standard tee, our H-Type Tee is engineered to split a single pipeline run into two tight, parallel parallel paths while keeping the clearance gap between the adjacent lines to an absolute minimum.

Note: The H-Type Tee is shipped **unassembled as separate parts** by default. This allows you to manually adjust, swivel, and lock the branching elbows to your exact target angle (parallel, staggered, or customized offset) during solvent welding.

⚠️ Sizing & Solvent Welding Guidelines

Nominal pipe dimensions are based on standard outer diameters. Please measure your pipe outer diameter before placing your order:

• Double Female Run Ends (Socket ID): The straight-through ends of the Socket Tee are female sockets. Their inner diameters match standard pipe outer diameters: 20mm, 25mm, 32mm, 40mm, and 50mm.
• Male Branch Port (Spigot OD): The central branch of the Socket Tee is a male spigot. Its outer diameter matches the inner diameter of the receiving female fitting of the same nominal size (20mm, 25mm, 32mm, 40mm, or 50mm).
• Solvent Welding Method: Both styles require standard UPVC/PVC solvent cement (glue) to create a permanent, high-strength chemical weld bond on all sliding joints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is a "male-to-female" or spigot branch tee used for?

A: It is designed to plug directly into the receiving female end of a ball valve, check valve, or bulkhead fitting. By inserting the male branch directly into the valve body without cutting and gluing transitional pipe nipples, you can save valuable space and simplify the plumbing assembly.

Q: Why does the H-Type Tee ship unassembled?

A: Pipelines are rarely perfectly parallel in custom cabinetry or industrial sumps. Shipping the H-Type Tee in parts allows you to rotate the bypass elbow to any staggered, parallel, or custom offset angle you need before applying standard PVC solvent cement to lock it into its permanent position.
