What is a T -shirt?
T -shirt is a type of mounting or connector used to connect two or more water pipes. These fittings are associated with two pipes or tubes at an angle of 90 degrees and get their name from their appearance in the shape of T -shaped.
Using a tubular tee, the plumber is combined to combine the flow of two separate pipes into a single line. It can also divide a single supply line so that it flows into two different areas. For example, the pipe tears can be used on the main water supply in the house to direct the water to the bathroom and some of the kitchen. It can also be used in the domestic waste water system, where it connects to two separate sewage guidance to a single main drain pipe that can connect to the urban drain pipe. In industrial applications, the pumpkin can connect to two pipes carrying a differentÉ liquids that mix these two materials into a single stream when the final goal flows.
Most plumbers use tubular tees that correspond to the material of the surrounding pipes. For example, steel tubular tees connect steel pipes or tubes, while the plastic shirt connects two plastic tubes. Manufacturers also produce tubular tees using brass, copper and composite materials to meet the needs of different applications.
Standard tee pipes connect pipes of the same diameter, although some can work with connectors reduction. When the tubular tee contain a reducer, it can be used to connect to different diameters to each other. The tees must be selected carefully to fit each pipe, and also to meet the project requirements for temperature and corrosion resistance. The diameter and thickness of the tee wall must comply with the pressure and flow requirements. PlumbingCodes often specify types of fittings that should be used on different types of projects to ensure safe and installation effect.
Plumbers connect the tubular tee to the surrounding pipes using different methods. Many metal pipes and connectors are threaded and can be screwed together with hands or key. When using tee pipe ducts, users should take care of the selection of the relevant men or women on the basis of a project. Others require the use of special adhesive or solvents, while some are welded for a long -term binding. Metal fasteners or bindings also offer an effective way to connect to pipes and fittings.
