  • The greatest advantage of the press-fit tee is its double press-fit integrated sealing, weld-free, zero pollution, and never leaking. It uses 304/316L food-grade stainless steel material
  • which is rust-proof, scale-free, and has no heavy metal precipitation
  • meeting the national drinking water hygiene standards. The double press-fit crimping structure makes the pipe and fitting permanently interlocked
  • resisting vibration, pull-out, high pressure, and detachment
  • thoroughly eliminating the hidden dangers of water seepage, rusting, and aging in traditional tees. It is equipped with an imported rubber sealing ring

Detailed Introduction

The press tee is a type of stainless steel press-fitting pipe fitting, mainly used for branching and diverting thin-walled stainless steel pipelines. It relies on a dedicated pressing tool to squeeze the end of the fitting, causing the fitting and the pipe to interlock tightly, and achieves a sealed connection with EPDM or HNBR sealing rings—no welding or thread cutting is required throughout the entire process. The main body material is commonly 304 or 316L stainless steel, featuring corrosion resistance, hygienic compliance, and a long service life. The product is available in two main configurations—equal-diameter and reducing—and is compatible with national standard thin-walled stainless steel water pipes. It is widely used in drinking water, purified water engineering, gas, HVAC, pharmaceutical, food, and building water supply and drainage pipelines. The press connection method offers fast construction speed, and the joints are resistant to vibration and pull-out, with stable sealing performance and low risk of leakage. The Guojie brand offers a variety of specifications and supports OEM/ODM customization to meet engineering and foreign trade requirements.

Applications

  • Branch lines for domestic water supply and hot water piping in buildings such as high-end residences, villas, hotels, and office buildings.
  • Hygienic-grade water delivery pipelines in food factories, pharmaceutical factories, and purified water plants, requiring sterility, non-toxicity, and easy cleaning.
  • Municipal direct drinking water engineering and secondary water supply renovation projects, requiring pipeline branching and pipe network upgrades.
  • Water circulation systems for HVAC and constant-temperature water supply systems, requiring pressure resistance, temperature resistance, and reliable connections.
  • Low-pressure gas delivery systems (subject to applicability confirmation), as well as procurement of pipe fittings for foreign trade engineering projects.

Overview

A press-fit tee is a key branching fitting in thin-walled stainless steel piping systems, used for main pipe branching, line diversion, or reducing connections. It adopts press-fit connection technology, which uses special tools to radially compress and lock the fitting and pipe together, requiring no welding or threading, enabling fast installation and reliable connections. The product body is made of 304 or 316L stainless steel, with a smooth inner wall that resists scaling and meets food-grade sanitary requirements. The sealing ring is made of EPDM or HNBR rubber, which is heat-resistant and aging-resistant, ensuring long-term sealing performance. Press-fit tees are widely used in piping systems requiring high cleanliness, such as drinking water, purified water, HVAC, food, and pharmaceutical applications, and are a mainstream choice for modern building water supply and drainage and industrial piping.
