How do you size a plumbing tee?
Tees are generally measured from the “Run” to the “Bull”. The “Run” is the left-to-right or the length of the Tee. The “Bull” is the top part of the Tee. For example if a Tee is 3/4″ X 3/4″ X 1/2″, then the left inside diameter is 3/4″, the right inside diameter is 3/4″ and the top inside diameter part is 1/2″.
What size are water fittings?

What size PVC fitting do I need?

What are the rules for septic tank inlet and outlet Tees?
Most installers use local “rules of thumb” for septic tank baffle design. Perhaps this is because the inlet and outlet tee dimensions for a septic tank depend on the size and depth of the tank as well as the anticipated thickness of the floating scum layer in the septic tank.
What kind of fitting is used on Dot propane tank?
A Type 1, also known as an ACME fitting, is the fitting used on modern DOT propane tanks. These fittings are used today because they are less prone to leaks and do not require tools for installation like POL fittings. The Type 1 fitting uses the threads on the outside of the tank valve to connect the pigtail hose to the propane cylinder.
What should the inlet and outlet Tees be?
Just as the inlet tee needs to extend below the floating scum so as not to become blocked by it, the outlet tee needs to extend 2 or 3 inches DEEPER than the bottom of the inlet tee. This keeps sewage and floating scum from running out the tank outlet where it would quickly clog the absorption system or drainfield.
