A Pipe Tee is a type of plumbing or piping fitting that has three openings, allowing you to connect three sections of pipe together. It is shaped like the letter "T" and is commonly used to split or combine the flow of liquids or gases in a pipeline system.
Key Features of Pipe Tees:
-
Design:
- A typical pipe tee has a central body with three openings: one on the main line and two on the branches. The branch openings are perpendicular to the main line. This design allows the flow to be diverted into multiple directions or combined into a single pipeline.
-
Materials:
- Pipe tees are made from various materials to suit different applications, including:
- Steel (mild steel, carbon steel, stainless steel)
- Brass
- PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
- Copper
- Cast Iron
- Galvanized Iron (GI)
- The material choice depends on factors like the type of fluid being carried, pressure ratings, and the environmental conditions of the application.
-
Types of Pipe Tees:
- Equal Tee (Straight Tee): This type of tee has all three openings of equal size, allowing for an even distribution of flow across all branches. It is commonly used when the flow in all directions needs to be equal.
- Reducing Tee: This type of tee has one or more branch openings that are smaller than the main pipe. It's used when a smaller diameter pipe needs to branch off from a larger diameter pipeline.
- Barred Tee: This is a special type of tee used for protecting the main pipeline from backflow or to separate flow paths in certain industrial applications.
-
Applications:
- Plumbing Systems: Pipe tees are widely used in water supply and drainage systems to branch off a main pipe or combine two smaller pipes into a larger one.
- Industrial Applications: In chemical, gas, and oil industries, pipe tees are used to redirect or split flow for monitoring, controlling, or distributing liquids and gases in processing plants.
- HVAC Systems: In heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, pipe tees are used to direct airflow or refrigerant in multiple directions.
- Irrigation: Used in irrigation systems to split or combine water flow to various parts of the field or garden.
-
Sizes and Threading:
- Pipe tees come in a variety of sizes, typically ranging from ½ inch to several inches, depending on the size of the pipes being used.
- They can be threaded (for use with threaded pipes) or welded (for welded piping systems).
- Threaded tees usually have BSP (British Standard Pipe) or NPT (National Pipe Thread) threads, while welded tees can be used with butt-weld or socket-weld connections.
