New Tee Valve Design from GF

George Fischer, Inc., is pleased to announce the immediate availability of our new Tee Valve design. Our Tee Valve assembly offers an efficient and complete package, incorporating all the features and benefits of our Type 546 ball valve fully assembled to a socket tee and shipped with the open valve end plugged to minimize accidents upon start-up. The GF Tee Valve assembly is shipped with both a socket and NPT threaded union that allows the customer to specify the type of true union end to be used on the valve.

Our Tee Valve design uses a reducer bushing to connect the valve to the tee with the most efficient design, minimizing the overall length, thereby avoiding the excess length found in traditional lateral reducing tee ball valve assemblies. Our design is market-proven based on many years of experience through our Custom Products division.

This new Tee Valve design is available in both PVC and CPVC body materials with EPDM valve seals as the standard design. Standard sizes available range from 1” x ½” through 8” x 2”. Optional sizes or FPM valve seals are also available as a special assembly upon request. Some restrictions apply. Consult product management for special assembly requests.

Typical lead time to assemble any standard size and material is 3 days from the date of order. Consult Customer Service for specific order availability information.

Standard terms and conditions apply. List pricing is attached. Discount code B applies.
