Ashland Water Group HT175NL Hydrant Tee Pool Fitting

Product Description

The ASHLAND WATER GROUP HT175NL is a barbed hydrant tee designed to connect three PVC lines in pool and water distribution plumbing systems. This fitting features a 1 inch insert inlet, a 3/4 inch male pipe thread (MPT) port, and a 1 inch insert outlet. The barbed insert connections grip PVC tubing securely, reducing the risk of pull-out under normal operating pressure. Licensed plumbers and pool service technicians install this fitting when branching a hydrant or distribution line without cutting into hard pipe. The package includes 3 units per order, making it well suited for multi-point installations or service stock.

The HT175NL is used in residential and light commercial pool plumbing where a main supply or return line must be tapped with a threaded hydrant connection. The 3/4 inch MPT port accepts standard garden hose bibs, pool hydrant heads, or threaded fittings. The 1 inch insert ports connect directly to compatible PVC tubing. This fitting is commonly found at equipment pads, deck hydrant hookups, and lateral distribution manifolds on pool and spa systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pool service technicians. Shut off the pump and relieve system pressure before cutting into any existing line. Barbed insert connections should be secured with stainless steel clamps or approved hose clamps per local plumbing code requirements. Thread sealant or PTFE tape should be applied to the 3/4 inch MPT threads before assembly to prevent leaks.
