The TUPY Brazil side outlet tee (figure 221) has three ports, each at right angles to the other two. It is used where a line has to change direction in two planes at a corner and take a branch at the same time.
| Figure number | 221 |
| Size range | 1/2" – 2" |
| Finish | Galvanised and black |
| Thread | BSP (ISO 7-1) |
| Standard | ISO/EN/NBR ZA1 |
| Maximum working pressure | 25 bar (−20 to +120°C); 20 bar at +300°C — verify application |

The size range summarises this figure's table and does not guarantee stock in every size. TUPYBSP working pressure is 25 bar from −20 to +120 °C; consult the catalogue pressure–temperature table outside that range. Hydrostatic test values are not working pressures; the catalogue specifies a separate 37.5 bar test value for joints. Check the product-family catalogue and the required figure and size approvals before selection.
These marks relate to TUPY product-line standards and approvals. Scope varies by figure, size and application; confirm the current catalogue and figure-specific listing before specification.

On a plain tee all three ports lie in one plane. At the corner of a building, or on a connection to a piece of equipment, the line sometimes has to rise and take a branch in another direction as well. Building that up from an elbow and a plain tee costs two or three components and several extra threads, and takes more room.
The figure 221 side outlet tee gives the same geometry in one casting: three female ports, each axis at right angles to the other two.
The material is blackheart malleable cast iron to grade JMB 350-10, produced hot-dip galvanised and black. Sizes run from 1/2 to 2in.
Dimensions and weights by size: ½in code 1215004, a = 28, z = 15 mm; ¾in code 1215006, a = 33, z = 18; 1in code 1215007, a = 38, z = 21; 1¼in code 1215008, a = 45, z = 26; 1½in code 1215009, a = 50, z = 31; and 2in code 1215010, a = 58, z = 34 mm. Galvanised weight runs from 0.110 to 0.983 kg.
The TUPY Brazil Side Outlet Tee is made in 6 sizes, from 1/2" to 2". The full list of sizes, with the dimensions in millimetres and the weight of each piece, is in the dimensions and weights table on this page.
The weight depends on the size: the 1" size, for example, weighs 0.309 kg. The weights of every size are taken from the official TUPY catalogue and are listed in the table on this page, so they can be used to work out shipping weight and freight cost.
TUPYBSP fittings are threaded to BSP in accordance with ISO 7-1; the male thread is tapered and the seal is made on the thread itself. BSP is not interchangeable with NPT, and screwing the two together will leak. TUPY also produces a separate NPT line, which is covered in the downloads section.
According to TUPY's technical catalogue, the working pressure of TUPYBSP fittings is 25 bar between −20 °C and +120 °C. For temperatures outside that interval, use the catalogue pressure-temperature table and confirm suitability for the application. The catalogue lists hydrostatic design-test pressures of 100 bar for other fittings from 1/4 in to 4 in, 64 bar for 5 in and 6 in, and 37.5 bar for joints. These are test values, not working-pressure ratings. Confirm the applicable fitting, temperature range and project requirements before selection.
The TUPY Side Outlet Tee is manufactured to ISO/EN/NBR ZA1. TUPY malleable cast iron fittings are built to ISO 49, EN 10242 and ABNT NBR 6943, and their threads follow ISO 7-1. Check the current figure- and size-specific listing before relying on an approval.
Where dimensions permit, genuine TUPY fittings carry cast markings such as the factory mark and nominal size. Check the figure-specific catalogue and packaging as well. The threads are clean and free of burrs, and the galvanised coating is even. The surest check is to weigh the piece and compare it with the weight table on this page; counterfeit pieces usually come out lighter than the official catalogue weight.
