Typical Applications
Used to branch a 1/4 in. chemical metering line for an injection quill, pressure gauge, calibration column, or sample port. Polypropylene resists sodium hypochlorite, acids, and caustics, making this tee a common fit on water-treatment, pool, and industrial dosing skids where a metal tee would corrode.
