Product Information

Full details

This Sealey SharkBite Equal Tee (SBA28ET) is designed for users installing compressed air ring main systems or non-potable water lines who need a reliable way to divide a main pipe run equally. Its key benefit is the fast-fit installation, allowing for quick and easy setup of workshop air systems. A potential consideration is its specific application for non-potable water, meaning it's not suitable for drinking water systems.

FAQs

What type of water is this fitting suitable for?

This fitting is designed for compressed air and non-potable water movement only. It is not suitable for drinking water (potable) systems.

What pipe diameter does the SBA28ET fit?

The SBA28ET is designed for pipes with an outside diameter (OD) of 28mm.

Do I need special tools to install this tee?

No, the SharkBite system is a fast-fit push-to-connect system. While a release tool is recommended for removal, installation typically does not require specialized tools beyond a pipe cutter.

Can I use this fitting with hot water systems?

This fitting is intended for compressed air and cold non-potable water applications. It is not rated for hot water systems.

How do I disconnect a SharkBite fitting?

To disconnect, use the specific SharkBite release tool. Push the tool against the collar of the fitting while pulling the pipe out.

What is the main advantage of the SharkBite system?

The main advantage is its speed and ease of installation, eliminating the need for soldering, crimping, or glue.

Troubleshooting

Fitting does not grip the pipe.

Ensure the pipe is the correct 28mm OD size and has been pushed in fully until it stops. Check that the pipe end is clean and not damaged.

Leak detected at connection.

Remove the fitting by using the SharkBite release tool. Re-insert the pipe, ensuring it is fully seated and that the pipe end is clean and undamaged. If the issue persists, the fitting may be faulty or the pipe damaged.

Difficulty pushing pipe into fitting.

Verify the pipe is clean and properly inserted straight into the fitting. Ensure no debris is obstructing the entry point of the fitting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Simplifies the installation of air and non-potable water ring mains.
  • Fast-fit mechanism reduces installation time and labor.
  • Ensures balanced flow distribution from the main line.
  • High-quality components for reliable performance.

Cons

  • Limited to non-potable water applications.
  • Requires specific 28mm OD pipe for proper fit.
  • Part of a proprietary system, best used with other SharkBite components.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To install, ensure the 28mm OD pipe is clean, dry, and cut square. Push the pipe firmly into the SharkBite fitting until it seats correctly. No special tools or preparation like deburring are required for the pipe end. The fitting will grip the pipe securely.

Compatibility: This SBA28ET fitting is designed for use with 28mm outside diameter pipes within the Sealey SharkBite Air Supply Ring Main System. It is also suitable for other compatible non-potable water applications.

Care: The SharkBite system is designed for low maintenance. Ensure the external surfaces are kept clean. Periodically check connections for any signs of damage or leaks, although the push-fit design is very robust.
