Green Leaf Tt 12-18 P Pipe Tee 1/2 X 1/8 in Fipt Polypropylene

Product Description

The GREEN LEAF TT 12-18 P is a polypropylene pipe tee fitting with an integrated gauge port, designed for use in plumbing and fluid distribution systems. It features three female iron pipe thread (FIPT) end connections sized at 1/2 inch by 1/8 inch, allowing a branch takeoff while retaining a port for pressure gauge or sensor installation. The black polypropylene construction resists corrosion and handles common chemicals found in water treatment, irrigation, and light industrial fluid lines. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting where a gauge tap point is needed at a tee junction without requiring a separate tee and port fitting.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation manifolds, water treatment systems, and pneumatic distribution lines where polypropylene is an approved material. The FIPT connections on all three ports make it compatible with standard male-threaded pipe assemblies. The 1/8-inch port accommodates common pressure gauge or sensor fittings, making this a practical choice for instrumented fluid systems where monitoring pressure at a branch point is required.

Key Features

• Integrated 1/8-inch gauge port eliminates need for a separate port fitting at the tee
• Polypropylene construction provides corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility for water and light fluid service
• Three FIPT connections allow direct threaded assembly onto male pipe ends
• Black color aids visual identification in multi-line installations
• Compact tee geometry suits tight manifold and panel installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/2-inch threaded pipe systems requiring a gauge port branch, typical in residential and commercial plumbing, irrigation, and fluid distribution assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before disassembling existing fittings or threading in this tee. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten polypropylene fittings; hand-tight plus a controlled turn with a strap wrench is generally sufficient to seat FIPT joints without cracking the fitting body.
