[0017] In this embodiment: when the distance between the connecting pipe interfaces is far, the hexagonal pipe cap 7 makes it easy to rotate the connecting pipe sleeve 4, which facilitates the adjustment of the length of the connecting pipe sleeve 4, allowing the tee joint to be adjusted and installed normally and quickly, with no restrictions on its use, ensuring the connection between pipes. The structure is simple, easy to use, and saves connection costs. Furthermore, the sealing sleeve 5 and the first sealing gasket 6 improve the sealing effect between the threaded pipe head 2 and the external threaded pipe 3, preventing overflow between the threaded pipe head 2 and the external threaded pipe 3.

[0018] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a second sealing gasket 8 is provided at the other end of the sealing sleeve 5 and the first sealing gasket 6, and the outer wall of the first sealing gasket 6 is in close contact with the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 4.

[0019] In this embodiment, the sealing effect of the threaded pipe head 2 and the external threaded pipe 3 is improved by using the second sealing gasket 8.

[0020] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a connecting flange 9 is provided at the end of the connecting sleeve 4 away from the external threaded pipe 3.

[0021] In this embodiment: when the connecting pipe is equipped with a flange, after adjusting the length of the tee joint, it can be directly connected to the flange on the connecting pipe through the connecting flange 9.

[0022] As a technical optimization of this utility model, an external threaded connector 10 is provided on the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 4 away from the external threaded pipe 3. On the side of the external threaded connector 10 away from the connecting sleeve 4, a third sealing washer 11, a tightening ring 12, and a positioning ring 13 are provided in sequence. A locking threaded sleeve 14 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the external threaded connector 10.
