Brass PEX Tee for Tub and Shower Outlets

The Apollo ExpansionPEX tee connects 3/4 inch PEX tubing to a female pipe thread outlet using a drop-ear mounting tab. It is intended for installers fitting tub and shower connections in residential water delivery systems. The brass body accepts cold-expansion sleeves that must be purchased separately. A compatible expansion tool is also required to complete each joint.

Drop-Ear Mount with Female Threaded Outlet

The fitting combines two PEX barb ends with a single female pipe thread port and an integrated drop-ear bracket. This configuration secures the tee to framing while providing a threaded connection for a shower arm or tub spout. The design is specific to Apollo ExpansionPEX tubing and will not work with crimp or clamp style PEX systems.

Handles Standard Tub and Shower Runs

The tee manages typical hot or cold supply lines feeding a single fixture. It is not suited for high-volume distribution manifolds or multi-fixture branching without additional fittings. Installers needing straight couplings, elbows or larger trunk sizes must select other components from the ExpansionPEX range. The product carries a California Proposition 65 warning for listed chemicals.

Questions about this item

What does the 3/4 in. size mean for flow in a real plumbing system?

The 3/4 in. barb ends match 3/4 in. PEX tubing, so the tee passes the full flow that size tubing can deliver without a restriction at the fitting.

How does the female pipe thread connect and what does it limit?

The female pipe thread accepts a standard male-threaded shower arm or tub spout, and the connection is limited to the thread size on that outlet.

What does the drop-ear tab need to mount securely?

The drop-ear tab has a mounting hole for a screw or nail driven into a stud or blocking, letting you anchor the tee rigidly for a tub or shower outlet.
