Product Details:

A UPVC  Pipe Fittings is a type of pipe fitting that allows the connection of three sections of pipe, typically in a "T" shape, forming a branch or split in the pipe system. It is one of the most commonly used fittings in both residential and industrial plumbing and piping systems. Tee fittings are designed to facilitate changes in the direction of flow and are available in different sizes and materials to meet various system requirements.

Key Features of Tee Fittings:

1. Design:

   • A tee fitting has three openings: one for the main (through) pipe and two for the branches.
   • The main pipe passes through the center of the tee, while the two branch pipes connect at a 90-degree angle to the main pipe.
   • Tee fittings can either have all three openings of the same size or feature different sizes, depending on the application (e.g., reducing tees).

2. Materials:

   • Tee fittings are made from various materials based on the type of system and the fluids being transported:
     • Steel (carbon, stainless) for heavy-duty industrial or high-pressure applications.
     • Brass for water, gas, and low-pressure applications, offering corrosion resistance.
     • PVC, CPVC, ABS for plumbing, irrigation, and residential systems.
     • Copper for potable water lines and heating systems.
     • Cast Iron for industrial applications requiring durability.

3. Types of Tee Fittings:

   • Equal Tee (Standard Tee): All three openings are of the same size, allowing for a straight connection between pipes of the same diameter. Used when the branch pipe has the same size as the main pipe.
   • Reducing Tee: One of the openings is smaller than the other two, allowing for the connection of a smaller pipe to a larger one. It is commonly used in systems where a smaller flow branch is required.
   • Barred Tee: Used in systems where the flow of fluids needs to be restricted or controlled, often seen in wastewater or chemical systems.

4. Connection Types:

   • Threaded Tee: Has internal threads at the openings for connecting threaded pipes. Common in low-pressure plumbing systems.
   • Welded Tee: The pipes are welded to the tee fitting for a stronger, leak-proof connection. Used in high-pressure systems.
   • Socket or Push-fit Tee: The pipe fits into the sockets of the tee, usually requiring a sealant, glue, or compression fittings to secure the pipes in place.

5. Flow Control:

   • Tee fittings help direct or divide the flow from a main pipe to one or more branch pipes, allowing fluid, gas, or other substances to flow in different directions as required by the system.
