T Connectors

T connectors, also known as tees, are essential accessories for branching the water flow within a purification system. They allow purified water to be split toward multiple pieces of equipment or circuits, being available for 1/4" (6 mm), 5/16" (8 mm) and 3/8" (9 mm) tubing, as well as in combinations of these sizes. Thanks to their three-outlet design, T-type connectors make it easy to expand and adapt any water filtration system.

Types of T connectors available

In this category you will find several tee variants, which differ in the type of coupling and the compatible sizes. This way, you can choose the right configuration for your system.

• T connectors with quick-connect fitting – with quick coupling for 6 mm, 8 mm or 9 mm tubing, offering simple and fast installation.
• T connectors with male thread – with male-threaded outlets, for secure connections to various equipment.
• T connectors with female thread – available in female-threaded versions for connection to different components.
• Combined tees – which combine quick-connect fittings, male thread, female thread or stem, for connecting tubing of different sizes (for example 6 mm and 8 mm or 6 mm and 9 mm).
• Chrome tee – the version with male and female thread for applications requiring a chrome finish.
• Adapter tee with recessed valve – for supplying the filter, with male thread, female thread and 3/8" quick-connect fitting.

How to choose the right T connector

To correctly select a T-type connector, it is important to consider a few criteria that ensure compatibility with your system.

• Tubing size – check whether you need a fitting for 6 mm, 8 mm, 9 mm tubing or a combination of these.
• Type of coupling – choose between quick-connect fitting, male thread, female thread or stem, depending on the existing components.
• Outlet configuration – some tees have all three outlets identical, while others combine different sizes and coupling types for specific branches.
• Intended application – determine what additional equipment you are going to supply in order to choose the correct configuration.

Common uses of T connectors

Quick-connect T fittings are used to branch the water flow from a purifier, offering flexibility when extending the installation. The most common uses include:

• Supplying a side-by-side refrigerator with purified water from an already existing system.
• Supplying a water dispenser from a purifier.
• Tapping purified, non-mineralized water before the mineralization cartridge.
• Adding a pressure pump to an existing system.
• Branching and adding an additional storage tank.
• Supplying other equipment, such as a coffee espresso machine or an ice maker.
• Connecting another water faucet, in addition to the main one.

Benefits of T connectors

T-type branch connectors bring practical advantages when you want to extend or modify a water purification system.

• Flexibility – they allow the water flow to be branched toward multiple pieces of equipment.
• Easy installation – the quick-connect versions offer a fast and simple coupling.
• Wide compatibility – thanks to the combinations of sizes and coupling types, they fit numerous configurations.
• Simple expansion – they make it easy to add new equipment to an already existing system.
