Common Questions

What is the 15mm x 15mm x 1/4″ branch for?

Small threaded parts, such as a pressure gauge, a test point or a small air vent, that come with a 1/4″ male thread.

Why are some sizes written 15mm x 1/2″ x 15mm?

That is the same idea written in a different order, with the thread shown in the middle. Check the photo or ask which port is threaded before you buy.

Do I seal the thread before or after fitting the tee?

Screw the threaded part into the branch first, while the tee is in your hand, then fit the tee onto the pipe and set the branch facing the right way.
