Description
Product Overview
The Poly Pex-A Expansion Tee by Supply Giant is engineered to provide a seamless, secure junction for PEX‑A tubing in a variety of plumbing applications. Crafted from a high‑impact plastic poly alloy, the fitting combines the flexibility needed for easy expansion with the rigidity required to maintain structural integrity under pressure. Its barbed design creates a tight, leak‑free seal when the tubing is expanded into the fitting, eliminating the need for additional sealing compounds or clamps.
Each tee measures 1″ x 1″ x 1/2″ and is finished in a sleek black color that resists UV degradation and chemical exposure, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations. The fitting complies with ASTM F1960 and CSA B137.5 standards, guaranteeing compatibility with a wide range of PEX‑A products and ensuring that it meets industry‑approved performance criteria for pressure and temperature.
With a rated pressure capacity of 150 PSI and a maximum operating temperature of 210 °F, this tee can handle the demands of hydronic heating loops, radiant floor heating, and potable water distribution. The 5‑pack configuration provides ample inventory for larger projects while offering the convenience of having spare parts on hand for future maintenance or expansion work.
Supply Giant’s commitment to quality is reflected in the precise manufacturing tolerances and rigorous testing each fitting undergoes before leaving the factory. The result is a product that delivers consistent performance, reduces installation time, and minimizes the risk of costly leaks or system failures.
Usage
Professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts alike will find the Poly Pex-A Expansion Tee ideal for connecting branch lines in residential heating systems. Its straightforward expansion method allows installers to quickly join sections of tubing without the need for specialized tools, making it a time‑saving choice on both new builds and retrofit projects.
Beyond heating applications, the tee is perfectly suited for potable water distribution in kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor irrigation setups. The lead‑free construction ensures compliance with health regulations, while the robust plastic material resists corrosion from water chemistry, chlorine, and other common additives.</n
For commercial settings such as small office buildings or multi‑unit dwellings, the fitting’s ability to maintain a secure seal under fluctuating pressure conditions makes it a reliable component in looped piping networks. Its compact size allows it to be installed in tight spaces, and the black finish helps conceal any minor aesthetic imperfections that may arise over time.

FAQ
Can this tee be used with copper or PVC pipe?
No. The Poly Pex‑A Expansion Tee is specifically designed for use with PEX‑A tubing. Using it with copper or PVC may result in an insecure connection and could void the product warranty.
What is the maximum length of tubing that can be expanded into the fitting?
The fitting is intended for standard PEX‑A tubing lengths. For optimal performance, ensure the tubing is cut cleanly and expanded to the full depth of the barb, typically no more than 1‑2 inches beyond the fitting’s end.
Is the product lead‑free and safe for drinking water?
Yes. The fitting is manufactured from a lead‑free plastic material and complies with applicable health and safety standards for potable water applications.
How do I know if I need a 5‑pack versus a single unit?
If you are completing a larger plumbing project or anticipate future maintenance, the 5‑pack offers cost savings and ensures you have matching fittings on hand. For a single repair or a small DIY task, a single unit may be sufficient.
What warranty does Supply Giant provide for this fitting?
Supply Giant offers a limited one‑year warranty covering manufacturing defects. Contact our support team with the product serial number and purchase details to initiate a warranty claim.
