Maintenance Advice
To maintain your PVC tee’s integrity:
- Periodically inspect for any signs of leaks or stress cracks
- Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners when necessary
- Protect from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when possible
- Ensure proper support for connected pipes to prevent undue stress on the joints
Flow Considerations
When using this tee to split or combine water flow, consider the impact on your system’s hydraulics. Balancing valve may be necessary to ensure proper flow distribution in branch lines.
Future-Proofing
If you’re installing this tee in a location that might require future access or modification, consider using unions on one or more of the connections for easier disassembly.
