Product Description

The WATTS 0652038 is a push-to-connect tee fitting designed for tube-to-tube-to-tube connections in potable water systems. Constructed from lead-free brass with EPDM O-rings, it provides a secure, tool-free connection rated to 250 psi maximum working pressure. The fitting accepts 1 inch OD tubing on all three ports, making it a straightforward choice for splitting or joining water lines without soldering or threading. Licensed plumbers and water system technicians typically install this fitting in residential and light commercial plumbing applications where speed and code compliance are both priorities.

This fitting is suited for potable water distribution lines where a tee branch connection is needed.

Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before making or breaking any connections. Ensure tubing ends are cut cleanly and squarely and are free of burrs before inserting into the push-to-connect ports. To disconnect, use the appropriate disconnect clip or collar tool to release the collet before pulling the tube free.
