T Fitting Split

The T fitting is generally used when we have a single propane tank in a custom outdoor kitchen ar a barbecue on a cart that has a side burner range on the side. With the outdoor kitchen we usually create some space between the barbecue and the side burner so the cook has some room to lay grilling tools and pots and pans on the counter top. With one gas line attached the the T we can feed gas to a BBQ grill and a single or double side burner without gas flow problems.

Flared Thread

Gas connections are generally either Flared threads or Pipe threads. The T fitting is three male ends and three flared threaded ends. The flared fitting has an extended beveled end that seals the connection as it is tightened to a female end. No teflon tape or plumbers putty can be used on a flared gas line. Sealant is not necessary and if a sealant is used it will cause a leak by separating the flared union.

This T adapter is three-eighths male flare. 3/8 inch inside diameter is a standard inner diameter opening in most LP gas lines.

For natural gas the standard is usually a half-inch inside diameter. Natural gas has a larger mass than liquid propane so the inner diameter of NG hoses is usually 1/2 inch. Gas needs more room to move the same amount of gas because propane is smaller mass.

Most gas hoses designed for residential use will have flared ends so normal home owners can easily use the gas fittings with out any special tools or materials. Flared adaptors are easy to use because they create their own seal and will not leak as long they connection is tight.
