Technical & Selection Guide

Branch Tee (SPB) vs. Run Tee (SPD): Which Do I Need?

Choose this Branch Tee (SPB) if: You want to screw the fitting into a port and have the two tubes branch out parallel to each other (like the top of the letter 'T').

Choose a Run Tee (SPD) if: You want to screw the fitting into a port and have one tube pass straight through while the other branches off at a 90-degree angle.

FAQ

Frequently Asked questions

Q: What does "swivel branch tee" mean?

A: It means after you tighten the male thread into the port, you can still rotate the entire tee body 360 degrees. This allows you to position the two tube outlets at the most convenient angle before connecting the tubes.

Q: Are the two tube connections the same size?

A: Yes, on a standard branch tee, both push-in ports are for the same tube diameter.

Q: Can this fitting be used for vacuum?

A: Yes, our stainless steel push-in fittings are suitable for use in vacuum applications. The secure grip and high-quality seals prevent leaks.
