he 8000E Closely Spaced TEE delivers unmatched hydraulic separation in primary/secondary loops, designed for high-pressure HVAC, industrial hydronics, and district energy systems. Featuring a rugged PEX F1960 press-connection design and a corrosion-resistant DZR lead-free brass body, this valve integrates a chrome-plated full-port ball between two closely spaced tees—ensuring zero cross-contamination and seamless flow control under relentless 400 PSI WOG (Water, Oil, Gas) conditions.
Key Features & Benefits
✅ Brute-Force Pressure Rating: 400# WOG capability handles refinery cooling, steam loops, and high-rise HVAC systems where standard valves fail.
✅ PEX Press Precision: ASTM F1960 connections enable solder-free installations in under 30 seconds—perfect for retrofit emergencies or confined spaces.
✅ Thermal Extremes Mastery: Operates from 15°F to 260°F (-9°C to 127°C) with antifreeze (sub-freezing) or anti-boil additives (high-heat).
✅ Decades of Leak-Free Service: Blow-out-proof stem and virgin PTFE seats withstand 15,000+ cycles, even in brine or chemical-laden fluids.
✅ Zero-Flow Restriction: Full-port design maintains peak BTU transfer rates for industrial-scale heating/cooling efficiency.
