Waterway Plastics 212-3450 Gunite Venturi Tee Fitting - 1.5in x 0.75in Socket

What This Part Is Used For
The Waterway Plastics 212-3450 gunite venturi tee fitting is used to introduce air into a water line for jet operation. It creates the venturi effect that pulls air into the water stream, increasing jet pressure and performance. This fitting is embedded in gunite or concrete spa and pool plumbing. It supports proper air and water mixing for therapy jets.

Why This Part Matters
Venturi tees are essential for strong jet action in air-assisted systems. If the tee becomes cracked, blocked, or incorrectly sized, jets may lose power or fail to draw air. Proper venturi operation directly affects massage strength and user comfort. Using the correct fitting ensures consistent jet performance and airflow balance.
