HDPE Tee Fitting 

Detailed Characteristics

1. Structural Design:

• The HDPE tee fitting features a classic “T” shape, designed to connect three pipelines — one inlet and two outlets (or vice versa).

• It is used to split or combine flows, especially in complex pipeline networks.

2. Material Specification:

• Made from High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) — a thermoplastic polymer known for:

  • High tensile strength

  • Excellent flexibility

  • Resistance to environmental stress cracking

  • Inertness to a wide range of chemicals

3. Size Availability:

• Available in a broad range of diameters, from 200 mm up to 1000 mm, making it suitable for medium to large-scale infrastructure projects.

4. Pressure and Impact Resistance:

• Capable of withstanding high internal pressures.

• Offers superior impact resistance, even in sub-zero temperatures.

• Maintains structural integrity in both buried and above-ground installations.

5. Environmental Durability:

• Resistant to:

  • Corrosion, both chemical and electrochemical

  • UV degradation from prolonged sun exposure

  • Abrasion and rough handling

• Does not rust, rot, or support biological growth such as algae or fungi.

6. Longevity and Maintenance:

• Designed for a service life of over 50 years, under normal operating conditions.

• Minimal maintenance requirements thanks to the material's non-reactive properties and leak-proof welding methods.

 Expanded Applications

1. Water Supply Systems:

• Used extensively in municipal waterworks, housing developments, and high-rise buildings.

• Ideal for branching from a main line to multiple zones (e.g., residential blocks or buildings).

2. Agricultural and Irrigation Projects:

• Enables water distribution from main lines to field pipelines.

• Compatible with drip irrigation and sprinkler systems, helping improve water management efficiency.

3. Industrial and Chemical Transport:

• Suitable for transporting:

  • Aggressive fluids and industrial chemicals

  • Slurries and waste water

• Widely used in factories, processing plants, and chemical parks.

4. Mining and Slurry Applications:

• Withstands the abrasive nature of materials such as sand, gravel, and ore in mining operations.

• Can handle high-velocity flow in rugged environments.

5. Wastewater and Drainage Systems:

• Supports flow redirection in sewerage systems and stormwater drainage.

• Prevents leaks and contamination due to fusion-welded connections.

6. Compatibility with Jointing Techniques:

• Supports multiple jointing methods:

  • Butt fusion welding

  • Electrofusion welding

  • Mechanical fittings (if required)

• Ensures strong, seamless, and leak-free connections across the system.

7. Installation Efficiency:

• Lightweight compared to metal fittings, reducing handling and installation costs.

• Suitable for installation in remote, rural, or hard-to-reach areas without requiring heavy machinery
