Product Description

Ashirvad Flowguard Plus CPVC Tee is a critical fitting for creating branch connections in hot and cold water distribution systems. Manufactured from premium CPVC compound with FlowGuard Gold technology, this tee fitting allows you to split a main water line into two separate branches at a 90-degree angle, enabling efficient distribution to multiple fixtures or zones. The precision-molded design ensures uniform wall thickness and optimal flow characteristics at the junction point.

The three socket connections accept standard CPVC pipes and create permanent, leak-proof joints when installed with Ashirvad CPVC solvent cement. The smooth interior surface minimizes turbulence and pressure drop at the branch point, while the corrosion-resistant CPVC material ensures decades of reliable service without rust, scale, or degradation. Essential for bathroom manifolds, kitchen supply lines, and multi-outlet plumbing layouts, this tee fitting is compatible with the complete Ashirvad Flowguard Plus CPVC system.

Recommended Applications

• Bathroom Manifolds: Distributing hot and cold water from main lines to shower, basin, and toilet fixtures
• Kitchen Plumbing: Branching supply lines to sink, dishwasher, and water purifier connections
• Multi-Fixture Distribution: Creating branch lines to serve multiple bathrooms or utility areas from a single main
• Geyser Installations: Splitting hot water output to multiple bathrooms or fixtures
• Overhead Tank Distribution: Branching cold water supply to different zones or floors in buildings
• Commercial Plumbing: Creating distribution networks in hotels, hospitals, and multi-unit residential buildings

Installation Guidelines

FAQs

1) What is the difference between a regular tee and a reducer tee?

A regular CPVC tee has all three ports of the same diameter (e.g., 3/4" x 3/4" x 3/4"), while a reducer tee has one or more ports of different sizes (e.g., 3/4" x 3/4" x 1/2"). Use a regular tee when all connected pipes are the same size, and a reducer tee when branching to a smaller diameter pipe, such as reducing from a 3/4" main line to a 1/2" fixture supply.

2) Can I use a CPVC tee for drainage or waste water applications?

No, CPVC tees are designed specifically for pressurized hot and cold water supply systems, not for drainage. For waste water and drainage applications, use PVC drainage fittings which have different dimensions, angles, and flow characteristics. CPVC supply fittings create 90° branches, while drainage fittings use swept angles (typically 45° or sanitary tees) to facilitate gravity flow.

3) How do I determine the correct tee size for my plumbing project?

Match the tee size to your pipe diameters. For example, if your main line is 3/4" (20mm) and you're branching to another 3/4" line, use a 3/4" x 3/4" x 3/4" tee. If branching to a smaller 1/2" (15mm) fixture line, use a 3/4" x 3/4" x 1/2" reducer tee. Common residential sizes are 15mm and 20mm for fixture connections and 25mm for main distribution lines.

4) Can CPVC tees handle the same pressure as straight pipe runs?

Yes, when properly installed with solvent cement, CPVC tees have the same pressure rating as the pipe system (SDR-11 = PN 15 / 15 kg/cm²). The fitting is designed to maintain full structural integrity at branch points. However, ensure proper support near tee fittings to prevent stress from pipe weight or thermal expansion, which can compromise joint strength over time.

5) What is the proper orientation for installing a CPVC tee?

CPVC tees can be installed in any orientation—horizontal, vertical, or angled—as long as the branch direction meets your plumbing layout requirements. The key is ensuring proper pipe support on all three branches and allowing for thermal expansion in hot water lines. For vertical installations, install pipe clamps within 300mm above and below the tee to prevent sagging or stress on the joints.
