1.5 Gi Cross Tee

a specific type of plumbing fitting used to connect pipes in a cross configuration, typically made of galvanized iron (GI). Let’s break down what each part of the term means:

1. 1.5: This indicates the nominal size of the cross tee, which is 1.5 inches in diameter. This measurement corresponds to the size of the pipe or fitting it’s intended to be used with.
2. GI: This stands for “Galvanized Iron,” indicating the material the cross tee is made from. Galvanized iron is iron or steel that has been coated with a layer of zinc to protect it from corrosion, making it suitable for use in plumbing applications.
3. Cross Tee: A cross tee is a type of fitting that allows for the connection of four pipes in a cross configuration. It has one inlet and three outlets, allowing fluid to flow in multiple directions.
