Smaller tees (e.g., 1/2-inch) are suited to lower-flow lines and compact installations, while larger tees (1-1/4-inch or 1-1/2-inch) handle higher flow and bigger pipe networks. The three-way configuration remains the same, but flow capacity and space requirements scale with size. Always match pipe size and pressure expectations to your system.

Question 12

What is the recommended installation sequence for a three-way joint to ensure reliability?

Accepted Answer

Plan the layout, dry-fit to verify alignment, cut and deburr all pipes, apply solvent cement to all socket and pipe ends, assemble each joint starting with one branch, then test for leaks after curing.
