What fitting connects two branch lines to a common supply line?

• A. Reducer
• B. Cross
• C. Coupler
• D. Tee

Answer: (D)

A Tee fitting is used to split flow from a single supply into two branches. It has three ports arranged in a T shape, so one inlet feeds two outgoing lines, allowing the main line to branch off to two different tools or actuators. A reducer changes size without creating a branch, a cross would add a fourth port and isn’t meant for a simple two-branch split, and a coupler just joins two ends in a straight path. In practice, you’d use a Tee to feed two hoses from one supply line.
