SCWT Series Male Tee - User Guide
Product Introduction
The SCWT Series Male Tee is a premium brass pipe fitting manufactured by WENK Pneumatic, specifically designed for creating branch connections in pneumatic and fluid piping systems. This T-shaped fitting features male threaded connections on all three ports, providing a secure and reliable solution for splitting or combining airflow or fluid flow in various industrial applications.
Crafted from high-quality brass, the product offers excellent corrosion resistance and durability, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations. Its compact design allows for easy installation even in tight spaces, while the precision-machined threads ensure a tight seal when properly installed with thread sealant or Teflon tape.
Installation Steps
-
Preparation
- Confirm that the product model and size match your piping system
- Prepare necessary tools: wrench, thread sealant or Teflon tape, cleaning cloth
- Inspect pipes and fittings for damage or impurities
-
Cleaning
- Use a cleaning cloth to wipe the pipe's internal threads and the tee's external threads, ensuring no impurities, oil, or damage
-
Sealing Treatment
- Wrap an appropriate amount of Teflon tape (usually 4-6 turns) evenly in a clockwise direction on all three male threaded ends of the tee
- Or apply an appropriate amount of thread sealant evenly on the threads
-
Main Pipe Connection
- Determine the installation direction of the tee, identifying the main pipe and branch pipe
- Gently hand-tighten one port of the tee into the female-threaded interface of the main pipe
- Ensure proper thread alignment
- Continue hand-tightening until slight resistance is felt
-
Tightening the Main Pipe
- Use a wrench to moderately tighten the connection between the tee and the main pipe, being careful not to over-tighten
- Typically, an additional 1/4 to 1/2 turn with a wrench after hand-tightening is sufficient
-
Connecting the Branch Pipe
- Gently hand-tighten the female-threaded interface of the branch pipe into the branch port of the tee
- Ensure proper thread alignment
- Continue hand-tightening until slight resistance is felt
- Use a wrench to moderately tighten
-
Connecting the Other Main Pipe End
- Repeat steps 4 and 5 to connect the other main pipe end of the tee
-
Inspection
- After installation, check that all connections are secure
- Ensure the tee direction meets design requirements
- Before pressurizing the system, confirm all connections are properly completed

Precautions
-
Before Installation
- Do not use damaged fittings or pipes
- Ensure the work area is clean to prevent impurities from entering the piping system
- Check that threads are intact and undamaged
- Confirm that the tee specifications and material are suitable for your application
-
During Installation
- Do not use excessive force when tightening to avoid damaging threads or fittings
- Avoid using tools that may damage the fitting surface
- Ensure the tee direction is correct and complies with the piping system design
- For special applications such as natural gas, installation must be performed by professionals
-
In Use
- Do not exceed the product's rated working pressure and temperature range
- Regularly check connection points for signs of leakage or damage
- Avoid contact with sharp objects or severe impact
- Perform maintenance regularly based on medium characteristics
-
Maintenance
- Regularly inspect and maintain according to system usage
- If any damage or leakage is found, replace or repair promptly
- Before reactivating a long-unused system, check the condition of all fittings
