What is the function of insert adapters and tank tees in a well water system?

Boshart’s insert adapters have a male pipe thread on one end and an insert on the other. The BII adapters are specially designed with three key features that give them quality which is unmatched in the industry.

First, a sharp profile that bites into the poly pipe ensures that the insert will not pull out of the poly pipe without extreme force.

Second, the adapter is specially designed with consistent heavy wall construction for durability and longevity.

The third key feature is one that makes the installers’ job easier. The lead barb on each adapter is machined with a special taper to decrease the outside diameter. This makes it easier to install the adapter into the poly pipe. Boshart maintains very tight control of the insert barb outside diameter with stricter tolerances than called for by the industry standard.

To summarize, the features and benefits of Boshart’s insert adapters are:

• Male thread on one end and an insert on the other
• Sharp barb profile ensures the insert will not pull out of the poly pipe
• Consistent, durable heavy wall construction
• Special taper makes for easier install
• Unmatched quality in a wide selection of materials

Boshart’s tank tees are simply a multi-port fitting designed to connect a tank to a water system. The multi-port feature allows one fitting to do the same job as eight or more pipe fittings. This makes it compact and helps to avoid potential leaks. Tank tees come in a variety of materials, styles, and lengths to accommodate any tank on the market. The tank tee is installed by threading it to the discharge of the pressure tank. Special quick connect union designs are available for some brands of tanks. There is only one pipe connection on this tank. When the tank is connected, the tee has a total of three main connections and four additional accessory ports. The connection on the leg goes to the tank, one of the lateral connections goes to the pump, and the other goes to the household plumbing system. Union tees provide a quick means to replace a defective water tank without having to disassemble multiple connections.

The features and benefits of Boshart’s tank tees are:

• Multi-port fitting designed to connect a tank to the water system
• Faster installation due to fewer threaded connections
• Variety of materials and styles
• Available in union and non-union designs
