Description
A threaded branch
Connect a compatible riser or female-threaded component at right angles to a 19mm LDPE supply run. The two barbed ends keep the line connected on either side of the take-off.
The Antelco 45215 combines a 19mm tube connection at each end with one ¾-inch BSP male branch. Choose the mating component to suit the branch’s thread and your irrigation layout.
One tee supplied. Pipe, clips, riser and socket shown in the installation are separate items.
Two connection types in one tee
The barbed line connections go inside matching nominal 19mm-bore LDPE tube. LDPE means low-density polyethylene. Check the bore and tubing specification, rather than matching an outside-diameter pipe label.
The ¾-inch BSP male branch has an external thread and needs a compatible female-threaded component. BSP is a nominal thread designation, not a 19mm measured thread diameter. Use the BSP explanation in the technical information below if you are comparing fittings.
UV-stabilised polypropylene suits low-pressure outdoor irrigation. The fitting’s operating limit is 300kPa (3bar); it provides the junction, while suitable separate components provide pressure regulation or branch control.
Plan the branch and support the joint
Match both interfaces
Check the tube’s nominal 19mm internal diameter and the branch component’s ¾-inch BSP female connection. Allow space for the riser, valve or adapter without twisting the pipe run.
Assemble without strain
Isolate the supply and release pressure. Prepare the tube as directed, seat it fully on both tails and use compatible retention where required. Follow the mating component’s thread-sealing and tightening instructions.
Support the threaded branch
Support attached risers or heavier components so their weight does not load the plastic tee. Restore water gradually within the complete system’s limits and inspect both tube joints and the threaded connection.
Choosing the threaded connection
How many connections does this tee have?
Three: two opposing 19mm barbed tube tails and one right-angle ¾-inch BSP male threaded branch. It is a T fitting, not a Y splitter or a four-port connector.
Are the 19mm hose size and ¾-inch BSP thread the same measurement?
No. The tube size describes the nominal internal bore of matching LDPE pipe. The BSP size identifies the threaded connection. Confirm both independently; a female hose connector must have the correct BSP thread to fit the branch.
Can the tee turn off or balance the branch?
No. It has no lever, regulating mechanism or independent flow control. Use a suitable separate valve if you need to isolate or adjust a branch, and ensure every component suits the system pressure.
Are the riser, socket and clips included?
No. One Antelco 45215 tee is supplied. The installation illustrates a female-threaded socket and riser on the branch, with separately retained LDPE pipe on the main line. Those accessories are sold separately.

What is BSP?
What is BSP thread size?
BSP (British Standard Pipe) is a nominal pipe-thread size, not a direct measurement of a fitting’s bore or outside diameter. For example, a ½-inch BSP male thread measures about 21mm across its outer thread crests.
These figures are approximate outside diameters of male BSP threads, to help identify the nominal size. They are not inch-to-millimetre unit conversions:
- 3/8" BSP → 16.66 mm
- 1/2" BSP → 20.95 mm
- 3/4" BSP → 26.44 mm
- 1" BSP → 33.25 mm
- 1.25" BSP → 41.91 mm
- 1.5" BSP → 47.80 mm
- 2" BSP → 59.61 mm
- 3" BSP → 87.88 mm
- 4" BSP → 113.03 mm
All our BSP threads are parallel (BSPP, to ISO 228), not tapered.
Measure across the outside of a male thread, then check its pitch and whether it is parallel or tapered. Diameter alone does not confirm compatibility. Check the product’s stated thread specification before connecting.
