◎ The table below evaluates the suitability of the products for various usage scenarios, installer needs, and plumbing task types.
| Use case | Recommended product | Why |
|---|
| Pipe branching with transition to a smaller diameter (1/2 inch) | TDM Brass Threaded Tee 3/4" x 1/2" x 3/4" Female Thread | Ideal for creating branch lines with a reduced thread diameter while maintaining the main 3/4-inch size. |
| Installing a detachable connection in the system | TDM Brass Demountable Threaded Tee 1460E 20mm x 3/4 inch | The design allows for easy assembly and disassembly during maintenance. |
| Small diameter pipe layout | TDM Brass 1/2" x 20 x 1/2" Threaded Tee Fitting | Optimal for installing compact sections of water supply and heating systems. |
| Equal-sized branching of 3/4-inch lines | TDM Brass 3/4" Female Threaded Tee Fitting | Provides the same thread size across all three ports for standard connections. |
| Extending an existing pipeline | TDM Brass 3/4" x 30 mm Threaded Extender, Internal/External Thread | Internal and external threads allow effectively increasing line length. |
| Installation in large residential or industrial systems | TDM Brass 20501 Threaded Tee Fitting 1" Female x Female x Female | Larger diameter (1 inch) is suitable for systems with higher flow capacity. |
TDM Brass Threaded Tee 3/4" x 1/2" x 3/4" Female Thread is best suited for projects requiring a smaller diameter branch (1/2") from a main 3/4" pipeline. Choose this tee if you need a reliable brass female-threaded fitting for standard residential water supply and heating systems, while alternative models are better suited for demountable assemblies, working with other pipe diameters, or extending lines.
