KF Tee

The KF Tee provides a compact and reliable solution for connecting three vacuum lines within a single vacuum assembly. Its T-shaped design features three ISO-KF flange connections arranged along two perpendicular axes, allowing vacuum components to be connected at 90° angles.

Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel or aluminium, the tee offers robust construction for vacuum and high-vacuum applications. Its compact design makes it particularly suitable for vacuum manifolds, pumping systems, and experimental setups requiring an additional connection without complex piping arrangements.

Available in stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304), 1.4404 (AISI 316L), and aluminium 3.2315 (EN AW-6082), providing material options for different vacuum system requirements.

Technical Specifications

Flange Sizes: DN16, DN25, DN40, DN50 KF

Materials: Stainless Steel 1.4301 (AISI 304), Stainless Steel 1.4404 (AISI 316L), Aluminium 3.2315 (EN AW-6082)

Flange Connection: ISO-KF (QF / NW)

Configuration: T-shaped fitting with three flange connections arranged along two perpendicular axes

Sealing: Compatible KF centring rings with elastomer O-ring seals

Applications

Suitable for vacuum chambers, pumping systems, vacuum manifolds, laboratory vacuum equipment, and industrial vacuum installations requiring three-way connections.

The tee is particularly useful for integrating vacuum gauges, valves, pumping lines, and auxiliary components into existing vacuum assemblies.

Installation and Compatibility

Compatible with standard ISO-KF flange connections of the corresponding nominal size. Each connection requires a suitable KF centring ring with O-ring seal and a KF clamp.

Compatible KF Centring Rings & Seals and KF Clamps are available separately.

For connections with different nominal flange diameters, the KF Reducing Tee is also available. For applications requiring four connections, consider the KF 4-Way Cross.

The achievable vacuum pressure and operating temperature depend on the selected sealing components and operating conditions.
