PURPOSE: A faucet connecting plastic T-shaped pipe joint is provided to absorb water hammering on opening and closing a faucet by installing a shock absorber and a flow regulator in the pipe joint, and to save water by regulating flow of supply water. CONSTITUTION: A plastic T-shaped pipe joint connected to a faucet is composed of a mechanical shock absorber having a rubber flexible tube(18) and a compression spring(21), and installed in an upper body(13) of a plastic T-shaped pipe joint; a flow regulator changing a water pipe by a shearing force in a lower body(15); and a couterflow preventive plate. The shock absorber on a valve to open the faucet maximizes impact absorption. Air in the pipe is reduced by integrating the pipe joint with the shock absorber. The plastic T-shaped pipe joint cuts down expenses by not using additional junction or components, and saves water with regulating flow amount.
