T plug-in connection SCHAERER Spare Parts 3370062120

A T plug-in connection creates a branch in a fluid circuit without permanent joining. It splits a single flow into two outlets or combines two inlets into one, using a push-fit mechanism that seals under pressure. The design allows quick assembly and disassembly for maintenance or reconfiguration of beverage equipment, where water, steam or cleaning solutions must be routed precisely.

The operator aligns the three ports of the T piece, inserts the tubes until they click into place, and checks that the locking collars are fully engaged. No tools are required, and the connection holds against the typical pressures of a coffee machine's water system. When the circuit needs to be broken, the collar is pulled back and the tube released.

This SCHAERER T plug-in connection is moulded in PVDF, a rigid polymer chosen for its resistance to high temperatures and aggressive cleaning agents. The material does not corrode, scale or impart taste, making it suitable for potable water and steam lines in professional catering equipment.

The 4-4-4 configuration indicates three identical ports, each sized to accept 4 mm outer-diameter tubing. This standardised dimension matches the fluid lines used in SCHAERER coffee machines and compatible models from other manufacturers.

Cleaning follows from the construction: the connection can be disconnected, flushed with water or a mild detergent, and dried before reassembly. No disassembly beyond the push-fit release is needed, as the smooth internal surfaces resist build-up.
