PRODUCT DETAIL

What is the difference between tee and mechanical tee?

The MECHANICAL-T BOLTED BRANCH OUTLET STYLE Victaulic Tee pipe fitting is used for connecting pipes of the same diameter, while the reducing tee is used for connecting pipes of different diameters. The branch diameter of the threaded mechanical tee connection can never be equal to the main pipe diameter.

The MECHANICAL-T BOLTED BRANCH OUTLET STYLE victaulic mechanical tees serves the same function as the MT-1 and MT-8 but uses a steel electro-plated U-bolt to save space for easier installation in tight places. The MT-90 is ideal for direct connections with sprinkler heads and drop nipples.
