Bsc Preferred DIB2038LF 3/8 Tee Adapter Stop Valve

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED DIB2038LF is a 3/8-inch by 3/8-inch by 3/8-inch tee adapter designed to add a second outlet to an existing water supply stop valve. This fitting lets a plumber split a single supply line into two without replacing the stop valve itself. The DIB2038LF is manufactured to meet low-lead compliance standards, with no more than 0.25 percent weighted average lead content on all wetted surfaces, satisfying federal and state potable water requirements. It is sold individually and is a straightforward solution for expanding supply access in tight spaces.

This adapter is used in residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a single stop valve needs to serve two fixtures or appliances simultaneously. Common scenarios include adding a supply line for an ice maker, water filter, or additional fixture at a sink or toilet installation. The compact tee profile allows installation even where cabinet space is limited under a sink or vanity.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the main water supply and relieve pressure from the line before disassembling any stop valve connection. Use appropriate thread sealant or tape on threaded connections as required by the fitting type. Do not overtighten the adapter, as this can crack the fitting body or damage the valve seat.
