How to choose threaded three-way quick-connect fittings

In many piping systems, threaded three-way quick-connect fittings are indispensable connectors. You should be careful when purchasing them, because if you make an inappropriate purchase, you will have troubles during installation and use in the future. Next, let’s learn about the purchase method of this product with the editor!

How to choose threaded three-way quick-connect fittings:

1. See the suitability.
When purchasing a tee pipe fitting , you should first check the specifications and shape of the pipe. Currently, the shapes and specifications of the fittings on the market can be mainly divided into T-shaped and Y-shaped. In addition, the pipe diameter can also be divided into two types: equal-diameter pipe and reducing pipe. Users need to choose matching fittings based on the actual needs of the pipeline. If conditions permit, try to choose fittings of the same brand.

2. Look at the material.
There are many materials for threaded three-way quick-connect fittings, among which the more common ones are plastic, PVC, carbon steel, cast steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, copper, aluminum alloy, etc. Different materials have different application scopes and prices. Users can choose according to on-site usage conditions.

3. Look at the appearance.
When purchasing threaded three-way quick-connect fittings, you should also pay attention to their appearance. The key is to see whether the surface of the fitting is glossy, whether the wall thickness is uniform, and whether the pipe wall is clean. Do not choose fittings with rough surfaces or burrs. For threaded fittings, you also need to pay attention to whether the thread trend is uniform.

4. Look at the performance.
The performance of the threaded three-way quick-plug connector directly affects the use effect. If the performance is not good, it will also affect the service life. When purchasing, you can soak the connector in hot water for a period of time. If the hardness of the connector decreases after taking it out, it means that its performance is not good.

No matter which threaded three-way quick-connect fitting you choose, you need to check whether the fitting is qualified before you buy it. You can ask whether the fitting has a pungent smell. If it does, it is not recommended to buy it. You can also check whether the fitting has a qualified mark and manufacturer information. Do not buy a fitting without any “three-no” information.
