The ProPEX EP opposing-port tee was developed for PEX hydronic heating and cooling applications with back-to-back installation-spacing constraints, such as vertical riser applications, vertical hi-stack fan coils, and heat pumps. One opposing-port tee does the job of four fittings to change piping direction in a confined space, making it a time-, cost-, and labor-saving solution for engineers, installers, and building owners. The tee features the ProPEX fitting system, a method that uses the shape memory of PEX tubing to make a strong, reliable, and watertight connection with a single tool. The ProPEX tee is available in 1-, 1.25-, 1.5-, and 2-in. flow-through sizes with 0.75-in. outlets.
