The 1½" Threaded T-Piece features 2x Female threads and 1x Male thread enabling them to be joined together to create manifolds - useful for multiple hose connections to a single Ball Valve & Thru-hull fitting. The central female thread is shorter and designed for use with Aquavalve Tails (Straight, 90°, and 120°) giving the option of tail sizes from 19mm up to 38mm. The Plug, or Threaded Connector can also be used in the centre connection.

• NOTE: all Aquavalve Tails that are used with the T-Piece do not face-seal using the Red or Blue washer as they do when used in Aquavalves. Instead, use a suitable thread sealant or PTFE tape to seal threads. The 1½" Male and Female threads at each end are also parallel and are designed to seal through the use of a suitable sealant or PTFE tape allowing any orientation of the two joined parts. Do not over tighten!

Manufactured in New Zealand, Tru-Design Connectors are moulded from a glass reinforced nylon composite. High strength, high-modulus glass-fibre impregnated into the nylon provides dramatic strength, stiffness, toughness, and dimensional stability.

Tru-Design products eliminate the corrosion and electrical bonding problems associated with metallic fittings. The Connectors are designed for twin hose clamps, and to not crush under high load conditions.

TruDesign Connectors avoid the worry of corrosion and the need for electrical bonding associated with metal fittings. When connected to a skin fitting they must be above the water line. Below the water line skin fittings (Thu Hulls) must be directly fitted to a Ball Valve (Sea Cock).
