Description

A versatile building-block, the TruDesign® T-Piece Connector functions not only as a T-Piece but also as an expandable manifold. The TruDesign® T-Piece Connector features two 1 1/2” female parallel threads and one 1 1/2” male parallel thread allowing manifolds to be created simply by joining two or more parts together. This allows users to channel multiple drains to one Ball Valve-Skin Fitting thru-hull outlet, eliminating the need for additional thru-hull fittings. The TruDesign® T-Piece Connector is commonly used in glycol/antifreeze flush-through systems when preparing for winterization, or, in fresh water engine flush systems. By adding a plug to the female end, the T-Piece Connector can function as an inspection port for looking through to, or clearing the internals of a Ball Valve.

Specifications:

Threads on the T-Piece Connector / Universal Manifold are 1 1/2” BSP Parallel (British Standard Pipe Parallel). TruDesign® parallel threads are designed so that sealant or PTFE thread tape is applied to the male thread, and then the fitting screwed into place. A main advantage of parallel versus tapered threads is that there is far greater engagement between two mating parallel threads which in turn provides greater strength and watertight sealing ability. Since sealing is achieved through use of a sealant or thread tape, fittings can be positioned anywhere around 360°, unlike tapered fittings that need to be fully tightened in order to seal.

Do not use with tapered thread valves or fittings - Mixing parallel and tapered threads can cause strength and sealing problems as the thread engagement is often only a few turns.

Tapered threads should never be used in marine applications.
