Equal and reducing tees
Tees are components commonly encountered in hydraulic and pneumatic installations. They are typically made of carbon steel, stainless steel, or cast iron, as these materials ensure the greatest durability and reliability during the flow of the medium. Tees are widely used in various industries, including automotive, machinery, aerospace, and food. The primary function of tees is to change the direction of the flow of the medium and to connect different sections of pipes into one channel. This allows for a simpler and more efficient air transmission network. Tees are often used for flow regulation as well. Due to their diverse applications, different types of tees can vary significantly. Among the most versatile variants are equal tees.
Equal and reducing tees
Equal and reducing tees comprise a very broad category of products. Among their most important and therefore most common variations are equal tees and reducing tees. Equal tees are most commonly used in building, gas, and heating installations. They are employed where a change in the direction of flow of the medium is necessary. This is achieved through a lateral branch, which is positioned on the element at a right angle. Importantly, the diameter of the pipe remains the same throughout. In our range, you can find seamless equal tees, which provide excellent stability to the entire system and help maintain reliability. Reducing tees serve exactly the same function as equal tees, except that in their case, the diameter of the pipe changes. It is smaller in the lateral branch.
The main advantages of tees
Tees are highly versatile and multifunctional installation components, possessing numerous advantages. Some of their key benefits include:
- high durability – thanks to the use of resistant and sturdy materials, such as stainless steel or aluminum,
- reliability – due to their unique construction, they are resistant to high pressures and can accommodate very large volumes of air or other media,
- variety of shapes – tees are offered in various variants, making it easy to customize them to individual, specific needs.
When choosing tees for specific applications, we encourage you to carefully review the technical specifications of individual models. To ensure that the tees offered by us perform well for a long time, proper and thoughtful use according to the manufacturer’s recommendations is necessary.
