The pipe or tube of the 2T pipe connector is inserted through the connector as required for bead tubes, immersion tubes, thermometers or sensors, etc. It consists of a sealing cone which is pushed into the matching inner cone of the connector and acts as a bushing for the pipe while performing a sealing function. An additional O-ring, which is protected from damage by a pressure disc, holds the pipe in place and prevents it from being pulled out accidentally.
