8000E Primary/Secondary Closely Spaced TEE PEX F-1960
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.

Why the 8000E Dominates
This isn’t just a tee—it’s a system guardian. The military-grade chrome plating defies pitting in chlorinated water, while the adjustable packing gland ensures lifetime seal integrity. Unlike traditional fittings, its compact design and PEX press connections slash labor costs by 70%, making it the ultimate choice for engineers battling downtime and budget constraints.
