Standard 1/2″ GI Tee, Galvanized Iron, BSP Threaded

1/2″ GI Pipe Tee

The Standard 1/2″ GI Tee provides a robust three-way junction for medium-pressure piping systems used in industrial and residential plumbing. This heavy-duty galvanized iron fitting handles water, gas, and air distribution with high structural integrity. The 15mm nominal diameter ensures compatibility with standard galvanized steel pipes used across construction sites in Kenya.

Built for the Job

Plumbers and site technicians rely on this component for branching main lines into secondary circuits. The malleable iron construction allows the fitting to withstand significant mechanical stress during installation and long-term service. Because it features a hot-dip zinc coating, the material resists oxidation even when buried or exposed to high-humidity environments. This makes it a staple for outdoor irrigation setups, fire protection risers, and municipal water connections where durability is non-negotiable.

• Creating 90-degree branches in potable water distribution networks.

• Connecting gauge assemblies or drainage points in industrial gas lines.

• Extending existing steel pipe frameworks in commercial facility maintenance.

Product Highlights

Corrosion Resistance

The hot-dip galvanization process applies a thick layer of zinc that protects the underlying iron from rust and mineral buildup.

Precision Threading

• BSP standard threads ensure a leak-proof seal when used with appropriate jointing compounds.
• Deep thread engagement prevents stripping during high-torque tightening on the job site.

What’s Included

• 1 x 1/2″ Galvanized Iron Equal Tee

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Apply high-quality PTFE tape or pipe hemp to the male threads before mating with this connector to ensure a watertight bond.

• Avoid over-tightening with a pipe wrench as excessive force can stress the internal threads of the cast iron body.

• Store these components in a dry area to prevent “white rust” or wet storage stain before installation.

• Always verify that the pipe diameter matches the DN15 specification to avoid flow restriction or fitting failure under pressure.
