Product Name: High-Pressure Tee Fitting (BHDT) – Part No. VTS095406223

Description:
This component is a high-pressure (HP) tee fitting, a three-port (T‑shaped) connector designed for BHDT waterjet cutting systems and other ultra-high pressure (UHP) applications . It is a precision‑machined stainless steel block used to split or combine the flow of ultra‑high pressure water (typically 60,000–94,000 PSI / 4,137–6,480 bar) within the system’s high‑pressure plumbing network.

The “tee” configuration features three female ports, allowing a single high‑pressure supply line to be divided into two separate outlet lines (for example, to feed two cutting heads) or to merge two flows into one. Constructed from high‑strength, corrosion‑resistant stainless steel, the fitting is engineered to withstand the extreme pressure cycling, vibration, and mechanical stress inherent in waterjet intensifier operation.

Applications:

Splits a single high‑pressure water supply line to feed two separate cutting heads or system branches .
Combines two high‑pressure fluid lines into a single outlet for intensified flow or system integration.
Creates a rigid 3‑way junction for high‑pressure water distribution in intensifier pump manifolds, accumulator assemblies, or cutting head plumbing.
Compatible with BHDT waterjet intensifier systems and other standard UHP equipment (e.g., KMT, Flow, OMAX, WSI, BFT).

Features:

High‑strength stainless steel construction: Provides excellent corrosion resistance and structural integrity under extreme pressure cycling.
3‑port tee configuration: Enables versatile fluid branching or combining in a single fitting.
Precision‑machined ports: Features industry‑standard high‑pressure threads and 60‑degree cone sealing surfaces for reliable metal‑to‑metal seals with HP tubing, gland nuts, and coned inserts.
High‑pressure rating: Engineered for continuous operation at 60,000–94,000 PSI (4,137–6,480 bar).
Rigid, leak‑free design: Maintains seal integrity under pressure fluctuations and mechanical vibration.

Maintenance:

Failure Diagnosis (When to Inspect/Replace):

External water leakage: Visible water weeping from any of the three ports or the fitting body indicates a failed cone seal, damaged threads, or improper torque. All high‑pressure leaks must be repaired immediately.
Thread damage: Stripped, galled, or cross‑threaded ports prevent proper tightening and must be replaced immediately.
Cone seat damage: Nicks, galling, pitting, or deformation on any of the 60‑degree cone sealing surfaces will compromise the seal.
Cracked or deformed body: Any visible cracks or distortion of the stainless steel body warrants immediate replacement.
Internal erosion: Over time, cavitation or contamination can erode internal passages, leading to pressure drop or turbulence.

Inspection and Replacement Guidelines:

Full depressurization (Critical): Before any maintenance, place the main electrical disconnect in the OFF position, bleed down all high‑pressure water and hydraulic lines, and follow lockout/tagout procedures. Never service a pressurized HP line.
Visual inspection: Before installation, thoroughly inspect all three ports’ threads and cone seats for damage. Examine the fitting body for cracks or corrosion.
Thread cleaning: Clean all threads thoroughly with a soft brush and compatible solvent. Remove all debris, old sealant, and mineral deposits.
Lubrication: Apply a thin, even layer of high‑pressure anti‑seize lubricant (e.g., “Blue Goop” or “Silver Grade”) to the male threads of the mating gland nuts only. Do not apply lubricant to the cone sealing surfaces.
Torque compliance: Tighten each gland nut to the specific torque value listed in the equipment service manual using a calibrated torque wrench. Use a second wrench to counter‑hold the tee body to prevent twisting stress.
Proper seating: Ensure HP tubing and coned inserts are fully seated in each port before tightening.
Replacement criteria: Replace the tee immediately if threads are damaged, cone seats are pitted or deformed, cracks are visible, or persistent leakage occurs despite correct installation. Do not attempt to repair a cracked or severely eroded tee body.
