BSP Stainless Steel Plumbing Small Side Tee

Difference Between Small Side Tee and Large Side Tee

The key difference between a BSP Stainless Steel Plumbing Small Side Tee and a Plumbing Side Outlet Large Tee lies in the diameter ratio between the branch and the main pipeline.

The BSP Stainless Steel Plumbing Small Side Tee features a reduced branch diameter smaller than the main pipe. It is mainly used to branch small-diameter lines from larger main water pipes, such as connections to faucets, angle valves, and terminal water outlets, enabling precise “large pipe to small pipe” water distribution.

In contrast, the large side tee features a branch diameter larger than the main pipe, typically used to collect multiple small flows into a larger main pipeline.

Both side outlet series adopt a side-exit structure, saving installation space while integrating reducing and branching functions into one piece. This reduces the number of fittings required and significantly lowers the risk of leakage.

Product Parameters

Easy Installation

The BSP Stainless Steel Plumbing Small Side Tee is widely favored by installers due to its easy installation features:

Side Outlet Design

Compared with traditional end-type tees, the side outlet structure eliminates the need for additional elbows to achieve direction change. This reduces the number of fittings and simplifies installation steps. It is especially useful in narrow spaces such as ceilings, pipe shafts, and kitchen/bathroom concealed installations.

High Thread Precision

Shengchi uses CNC precision machining for threads, ensuring smooth engagement with mating fittings. Proper sealing can be achieved without excessive force, significantly reducing installation time and labor cost.

Integrated Reducing Function

No additional reducer is required. One fitting simultaneously handles branching and diameter conversion, reducing connection points and lowering leakage risk.

Standard Size Compatibility

Common sizes such as DN20/DN25 for main pipes and DN15 for branch pipes match standard residential and engineering plumbing systems, enabling direct use without modification.

Corrosion Resistance: Dual Protection of Material and Process

The BSP Stainless Steel Plumbing Small Side Tee offers excellent corrosion resistance for long-term use in humid environments:

Material Selection

· SUS304 / SUS316L Stainless Steel: Excellent corrosion resistance, ideal for kitchens and bathrooms. 316L provides stronger resistance to chloride corrosion, suitable for coastal or hard water areas.

· High-Quality Brass: Naturally corrosion-resistant with a dense protective oxide layer, widely used in plumbing systems for its cost-effectiveness.

Surface Treatment

· Stainless steel parts undergo pickling and passivation, forming a protective layer.

· Brass parts can be nickel-plated for enhanced corrosion resistance and improved appearance.

Sealing Structure

Precision-machined threads combined with high-elastic sealing materials ensure leak-free performance and prevent long-term corrosion caused by water exposure.
