An equal PVC-U pressure tee PN16, female solvent weld, is a T-shaped fitting used to divide or connect a main pipe into three directions at a right angle (90°), while maintaining the same diameter (50 mm) on all three branches.
This type of fitting is designed for pressurized networks up to 16 bar (hence PN16), typically used for:
Drinking water supply systems,
Pressurized water networks,
Irrigation systems,
Swimming pool or water treatment installations,
Industrial or agricultural applications.
Technical Characteristics
Type of fitting
Equal tee (3 outlets at 90°).
All outlets are female and suitable for pipes to be bonded using special PVC pressure solvent cement.
Material
PVC-U (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride), rigid and durable, offering excellent mechanical and chemical resistance.
Diameter
Ø 50 mm for each branch.
Nominal pressure
PN16 → up to 16 bar at 20°C (pressure rating for PVC pressure systems).
Service temperature
Usually from 0°C to ~20°C — up to ~60°C depending on manufacturer and application.
Standards & Certifications
Compliant with PVC pressure standards such as NF EN 1452 / ISO/TR7473 for pipes and fittings.
Often NF certified and ACS approved for drinking water depending on model/supplier.
Color
Dark grey, typical of female solvent-weld PVC pressure fittings.
Installation
These fittings are designed for cold solvent welding using suitable PVC pressure cement.
The bonding process creates a leak-proof and pressure-resistant joint.
Advantages of PVC Pressure Systems
Lightweight and easy to handle
High resistance to corrosion and chemicals
Smooth internal surface → low pressure loss
Long service life
Versatile use in drinking water, irrigation, and swimming pools
