Pps 85944 Press Tee 3x3x1-1/4 in 304 Stainless Steel

Product Description

The PPS 85944 is a ProPress XL press-style tee fitting constructed from 304 stainless steel and designed for tool-based press connections without open flame or threading. Rated to 200 psi and a temperature range of 0 to 284 degrees F, this fitting handles demanding fluid and gas service conditions. It includes an FKM elastomeric seal, which is compatible with a broad range of media. The nominal size is 3 x 3 x 1-1/4 inches, providing a reducing branch outlet. Licensed plumbing professionals and mechanical contractors install this fitting where fast, reliable connections are required on stainless press systems.

The 85944 is suited for applications involving additives, sludge, aeration, lube oil, slurry, and compressed air systems. The press end style makes it appropriate for commercial and industrial mechanical piping installations where torch-free connections are preferred or required. The reducing tee configuration accommodates branch lines that step down from a 3-inch main run to a 1-1/4-inch branch, making it practical for distribution headers and sub-feed lines in larger mechanical systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or mechanical contractor following applicable IPC and local mechanical code requirements. Depressurize and drain the system completely before cutting into an existing line and making press connections. Use only a calibrated press tool with the correct jaw profile specified for ProPress XL fittings in these pipe sizes. Inspect each connection for the visible indicator on the FKM seal ring before pressing to confirm proper seat.
