The TruDesign® T-Piece Connector features two 1 1\/2” female parallel threads and one 1 1\/2” male parallel thread allowing manifolds to be created simply by joining two or more parts together. This allows users to channel multiple drains to one Ball Valve-Skin Fitting thru-hull outlet, eliminating the need for additional thru-hull fittings. The TruDesign® T-Piece Connector is commonly used in glycol\/antifreeze flush-through systems when preparing for winterization, or, in fresh water engine flush systems. By adding a plug to the female end, the T-Piece Connector can function as an inspection port for looking through to, or clearing the internals of a Ball Valve.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cli\u003eMixed sizes of hose tail fittings to select from to suit 3\/4”, 1”, 1 1\/4” \u0026amp; 1 1\/2” I.D hose\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eNeat and tidy routing of hoses with a range of hose tail directions available including straight, 90°, \u0026amp; 120°\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eDirect connection to a 1 1\/2” Ball Valve or 1 1\/2” (above waterline) Skin Fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eConnection to plumbing pipework or a secondary Ball Valve with use of the Threaded Connector\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eUser selectable hose tails Varying sizes of hose (from 3\/4” to 1 1\/2”) can connect to one T-Piece\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eExpandable Create multi-port manifolds easily by joining two or more T-Pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eManufactured from a glass-reinforced nylon composite High strength and light weight\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eImmune to corrosion and electrolysis Long- life with no concerns over decreased performance due to corrosion\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eChemical resistant Unaffected by diesel, petrol and chemicals\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eBSP Parallel (Parallel) threads Universal compatibility to TruDesign® Ball Valves, threaded fittings, and other marine components.

TruDesign® parallel threads are designed so that sealant or PTFE thread tape is applied to the male thread, and then the fitting screwed into place. A main advantage of parallel versus tapered threads is that there is far greater engagement between two mating parallel threads which in turn provides greater strength and watertight sealing ability. Since sealing is achieved through use of a sealant or thread tape, fittings can be positioned anywhere around 360°, unlike tapered fittings that need to be fully tightened in order to seal.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eDo not use with tapered thread valves or fittings - Mixing parallel and tapered threads can cause strength and sealing problems as the thread engagement is often only a few turns.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eTapered threads should never be used in marine applications.\u003c\/li\u003e","brand":"Tru Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46171170275576,"sku":"138736","price":14.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0068\/6656\/7225\/files\/33f5dcd90f358b6e4d6377c928ecdafe.jpg?v=1739168075","url":"https:\/\/www.bosunslocker.com.au\/products\/tru-design-t-piece-threaded-universal-manifold-black-1-12-bsp-m-f-f-105g-3-7oz","provider":"Bosuns Boat","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
