The Whale 12mm Pushfit Stem Tee Adaptor is designed for creating a branch connection within a compatible 12mm semi-rigid water pipe system.
Unlike a standard equal tee, the stem connection is designed to plug directly into an existing compatible 12mm pushfit fitting, allowing an additional 12mm pipe connection to be introduced without requiring an extra length of pipe between the fittings.
This compact arrangement is particularly useful in caravan, campervan and motorhome installations where space is limited and a neat, reliable plumbing layout is required.
Whale's pushfit system provides quick installation without conventional hose clips or additional sealants. The fitting can also be disconnected when required for maintenance or alterations to the water system.
A stem tee allows an additional branch to be created within a 12mm water system. It is particularly useful where a compact connection is required between existing Whale pushfit fittings.
A standard equal tee normally has three pushfit sockets for connecting three separate pieces of pipe. A stem tee has a rigid stem on one connection which can be inserted directly into a compatible pushfit socket, producing a more compact installation.
Yes. The pushfit connections are designed for compatible 12mm semi-rigid water pipe, while the 12mm stem is designed to fit directly into a compatible 12mm pushfit socket.
No. When used with the correct compatible pipe, the pushfit connection does not require conventional hose clips.
The pushfit connection can be disconnected when required, making it convenient for maintenance or alterations to the water system. Always inspect the fitting and pipe before reuse.
