Applications
Fire Protection Systems: Mechanical tees are commonly used in fire protection systems, such as fire-hydrant and sprinkler systems, to branch out pipelines for effective water distribution.
HVAC Systems: In heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, mechanical tees are employed to direct airflow or conditioning media to different parts of a building.
Industrial Processes: They are integral in industrial process systems where branching of pipes is required for various processes, such as chemical handling or material transport.
Utility Piping Systems: Mechanical tees are used in utility piping systems for water supply, natural gas, and other utilities to ensure efficient distribution and control.
Mining Operations: In coal and mineral mining operations, mechanical tees are essential for the safe and efficient management of pipelines.
Water and Wastewater Facilities: They play a crucial role in water and wastewater plants and facilities for the distribution and collection of fluids.
Types
Grooved Mechanical Tee: This type of mechanical tee features a groove connection on the run and threaded outlets for easy installation and maintenance. It is made from high-quality ductile iron, ensuring durability and corrosion resistance.
Threaded Mechanical Tee: Cast from ductile iron, this type consists of two equal halves, with one serving as the outlet and the other as the strap. It is commonly used in place of full-flow cast fittings.
U-Bolt Mechanical Tee: Designed for direct connections to sprinkler heads, drop nipples, or gauges without the need for welding. It is secured with a U-bolt and nuts.
Equal Tee (EQ Tee): An equal tee has three outlets of the same size, forming a 90-degree branch connection.
Straight Tee: Also known as a straight-through tee, it has a single inlet and two outlets, forming a 90-degree branch connection.
Reducing Tee: This type has one inlet and two outlets of different sizes, allowing for a branch connection with different pipe diameters.
Lateral Tee: Also known as a side outlet tee, it has one inlet and two outlets at a 45-degree angle, allowing for a branch connection in a different direction.
Barred Tee: Used in pigged pipelines, the tee branch has a restriction bar welded internally to prevent the pig or scrapper from entering the branch
