Geberit Mapress Stainless Steel Male Tee Threaded Branch 15mm to 35mm

Where a branch needs to screw into a female fitting, the Geberit Mapress 316 Stainless Steel Male Tee Threaded Branch is the part. Both run ends press onto stainless tube, and the branch is a male thread.

Jobs for the Geberit Mapress 316 Stainless Steel Male Tee Threaded Branch

A male branch can go straight into a female threaded valve, a union, a sensor pocket or an expansion vessel connection. That saves a separate tee and male adaptor, so the assembly is shorter and has fewer joints. It suits the smaller sizes of stainless pipework found in risers and plant rooms.

• 15mm x 1/2″
• 22mm x 3/4″
• 28mm x 1″
• 35mm x 1.1/4″

Screw the female part onto the branch first, using thread sealant suitable for 316 stainless steel. Hold the tee body still while tightening, so it does not twist. With the threaded joint done, prepare the run pipes, mark the depth and push them in. Point the branch where it needs to go and press both run ends. Then support the item on the branch if it is heavy, as the thread should not carry much weight. For a female outlet instead, check the Geberit Mapress 316 stainless steel threaded tees.

Common Questions

When is a male branch better than a female one?

When the part going on the branch has a female thread, such as a valve or union. It saves an adaptor and a joint.

Which thread comes with the 22mm tee?

The 22mm tee has a 3/4″ male branch. Each pipe size here has one thread size.

Does the branch need support?

It does if the item on it is heavy, such as a valve with a long body. Support that item separately, because a thread should not carry much weight.
