Brass Bypass Tee CW617N Tapped | PE Drinking Water Connection

The 7000 Series Brass Compression Tee with Center Female Thread is the ultimate branch fitting for demanding hydraulic infrastructure. Designed to join two sections of polyethylene tubing (HDPE or LDPE) while providing a perpendicular threaded tap, this fitting allows for the direct integration of accessories such as valves, traps or measuring instruments. Made of premium CW617N brass, it provides unmatched mechanical strength for drinking water supply, agricultural irrigation, and professional irrigation systems.

PN25 Performance and Structural Reliability

This tee fitting is distinguished by its exceptional pressure resistance capacity. Certified PN 25 bar for diameters ranging from 16 mm to 50 mm, it guarantees total safety against overpressure and water hammer. For larger caliber installations (over Ø50), it maintains a robust performance in PN 16 bar. This reliability is reinforced by the use of an H62 brass notched ring, which ensures a powerful and unbreakable bite on the polyethylene tube, preventing any risk of tearing under intense hydraulic load.

Mounting ergonomics and ISO 7-1 accuracy

The installation of the female center tee is optimized for easier field work. The extra-large clamping nut allows a firm grip for easy screwing, even in difficult access conditions. In addition, the body of the fitting incorporates holding plates specifically adapted to the keys on the market, allowing the tee to be stabilized during the tightening phase. The connections strictly comply with ISO 7-1 (BSPT) standards, ensuring perfect compatibility with all standard threaded and tapped bits used in industrial plumbing.

Dual sealing system and wide spans

The sealing technology of this fitting is particularly sophisticated. For PE pipes, the sealing is entrusted to a high-precision O-ring made of NBR or EPDM (depending on the model). Regarding the female center outlet, the fitting offers flat and wide joint spans. This design ensures a perfect seal with a flat seal (from 1 mm thick), providing a reliable alternative to conventional PTFE tape methods. Capable of operating over a temperature range of 0°C to +50°C, this tee maintains a durable and consistent hermetic barrier.

Technical characteristics

Compliance and versatility of use

This fitting is fully compliant with French health regulations relating to materials in contact with water intended for human consumption. Its versatility allows it to be used in both municipal water distribution networks and precision agricultural irrigation systems. Its structural robustness makes it a preferred choice for areas where maintenance is difficult, ensuring reliable and future-proof bypass at any point in your PE network.
