Pex-a 1/2 In. Expansion Pex In To X 1/2 In. D Barb Brass Tee

The Apollo EPXT12 is a 1/2 inch brass PEX-A barb tee fitting designed for use in potable water piping systems. This lead-free brass fitting serves as a branch connection point where three sections of 1/2 inch PEX-A pipe meet, allowing water to flow in multiple directions. It is commonly used in residential and commercial plumbing installations for both hot and cold water distribution, as well as in hydronic heating systems where reliable branching connections are essential.

Barb fittings rely on a cold-expansion tool (sold separately) to create a secure, leak-free connection. This design delivers advantages over traditional crimp fittings, including a larger inner diameter that supports faster water flow and improved system efficiency. Lead-free brass construction is safe for potable water systems and provides durability in plumbing applications.
