Description
Overview:
The Malleable Iron Tee Piece 1/2" BSP, sold individually, is a robust equal tee for branching pipe runs in plumbing and industrial systems. Made from durable malleable iron, it provides strength and shock resistance while remaining easy to thread together with standard tools. Each outlet has a 1/2" BSP female thread for straightforward connection to matching male fittings. For clarity, 1/2 inch equals 12.7 mm nominal pipe size; the BSP thread major (outside) diameter for 1/2" is approximately 21.0 mm. This makes the fitting a dependable choice for water, air, and general service pipework on tools and plant such as compressors, workshop airlines, and site services. Suitable for both domestic and commercial installations where an equal three-way branch is required. Manufacturer Part Number (MPN): 787 012.
Key Features:
- Equal tee with three 1/2" BSP female ports (12.7 mm nominal; ~21.0 mm thread OD)
- Malleable iron construction for high mechanical strength and long service life
- Standard BSP female threads for wide compatibility with common UK pipework and fittings
- Clean, well-formed threads to help achieve a sound seal with PTFE tape or thread sealant
- Resists cracking under vibration and thermal cycling better than brittle cast iron
- Easy to fit using standard spanners; compact form factor suits tight spaces
- Suitable for typical low-to-medium pressure service in plumbing and light industrial systems
- Reliable choice for creating a branch line without special tools or welding
- Sold individually for convenient spares management and replacements
- MPN: 787 012 for quick identification and reordering
Typical Applications:
Creating three-way branches in water supply lines, heating circuits, coolant return lines, compressed air ring mains, irrigation manifolds, and general utility pipework on site or in workshops. Commonly used to add a branch to an existing run or to build distribution manifolds in plant rooms and service areas.
