It is compatible with SIDR-PR flexible polyethylene tubing according to ASTM International standard D2239, as well as standard D2104 schedule 40 polyethylene tubing. With a maximum operating temperature of 140 degrees F, it meets ASTM International D1784 and D2609 standards for quality assurance, and is NSF certified for potable water service.

This PVC tee fitting is ideal for a variety of liquid transfer applications that require connecting flexible polyethylene tubing. Tube fittings, such as this tee fitting, are vital components used to connect, branch, terminate, and change the direction of tubing in pneumatic and hydraulic systems. They are commonly made of materials such as brass, stainless steel, and PBT, which offer resistance to corrosion and wear. Tube fittings come in various types of connections, including threaded, welded, barbed, and push-to-connect, the latter of which does not require tools or sealants.

Used in applications ranging from machine tools to airplane and truck controls, tube fittings are critical components in automated production lines and various other systems.
