Midland Industries 28748P Polypropylene Tee 2 in Fpt

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 28748P is a 2-inch polypropylene tee fitting with female pipe thread (FPT) connections on all three ports. Built from polypropylene, this fitting offers solid chemical resistance for use in non-pressure drainage, chemical handling, and general fluid distribution lines. All three connections are sized at 2 inches with a 2-11-1/2 thread specification, making this a true equal tee configuration. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this fitting during rough-in or system assembly where a branch takeoff is needed on a 2-inch line.

This tee is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where polypropylene's corrosion resistance and compatibility with a range of chemicals is an advantage over metal alternatives. Typical installations include drain, waste, and vent (DWV) branches, chemical feed lines, and low-pressure fluid distribution systems. The equal-port sizing eliminates the need to stock multiple reducing fittings when a straight branch configuration is required.

Key Features

• Equal tee configuration: all three ports are 2 inches FPT
• Polypropylene construction for chemical resistance and corrosion resistance
• 2-11-1/2 thread specification for consistent, leak-resistant makeup
• Female pipe thread on all three connections for straightforward threaded assembly
• Suitable for non-metallic piping systems where metal fittings are not appropriate

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 2-inch female pipe thread polypropylene piping systems in plumbing and fluid distribution applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off flow and depressurize the line before disassembly or fitting makeup. Use thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for polypropylene and the specific fluid being conveyed. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as polypropylene fittings can crack under excessive torque.
