  • Quality Material: Manufactured from chemical-resistant Nylon 6-6 for long-term use.

The Tefen BSPT Male Branch T – 8 mm x ⅛" is a specialty connector designed for poultry hydration systems where a centrally mounted water source needs to distribute water in two directions. Featuring a ⅛" BSPT male thread and dual 8 mm barbed outlets, it integrates seamlessly with both Dine-A-Chook gravity and mains pressure systems.

Ideal for Central Water Distribution

This T-fitting is commonly used with Dine-A-Chook’s 2 L and 4 L Cannisters, as well as the Lubing Header Tank or 20 L drums (when paired with a suitable reducer). It allows hydration lines to run left and right from a central position—perfect for coop corridors or parallel drinker setups.

Reliable Seal and System Compatibility

Use thread tape for a watertight seal, and push 8 mm tubing onto the barbed ends for a firm grip. The durable Nylon 6-6 body ensures it can handle both pressure-fed and gravity-fed configurations with minimal risk of leakage or breakage.

Can I use this fitting with gravity-fed systems?

Absolutely. This tee is compatible with gravity-fed systems, provided the water source does not exceed a height of 35 cm above the Lubing Cup or Nipple. This avoids overpressure that can cause leaks or overflow.

Will this work with mains pressure systems?

Yes. The barbed connections hold tight under standard mains pressure when used with 8 mm tubing. Always ensure tubing is properly seated and secure with hose clamps if needed.

Do I need any other fittings?

This fitting can be used directly in ⅛" threaded ports. If connecting to ½" or ¾" drum outlets or header tanks, use the appropriate BSPT reducer bush. We recommend using plumber’s thread tape to prevent leaks at the thread.

Tips for DIY poultry watering systems?

Design with accessibility and flow in mind—position the water source centrally for even distribution. Use tees like this one to split lines, and test your setup for leaks before final installation. Always remember that water head height is critical in gravity-fed setups to avoid overfilling drinker cups or nipples.
