A tee has 3 socket-weld (or threaded in the case of steel) openings.
These are arranged in a planar arrangement, each skewed 90* from the last. This looks a bit like the letter "T", which is where the fitting derives it's name.
Tees are useful for connecting 2 pipes into one, such as connecting two chambers to one valve or connecting many valves to a common trigger.
A more advanced use of tee fittings is as the basis for both barrel- and chamber-sealing piston valves. The valve itself is constructed inside the tee, and the outlets are connected to the chamber, barrel and pilot valve.
