Your Reducing Tees Questions Answered
What is the difference between Tee 93u00b0 and Tee 90u00b0 reduced connections? -
Tee 93u00b0 and Tee 90u00b0 refer to the angle at which the branches of the tee are inclined. Tee 93u00b0 offers a slightly steeper angle compared to Tee 90u00b0, providing flexibility in installation based on the system's design requirements.
Are reducing tees compatible with all flue pipe materials? +
Our reducing tees are designed to be compatible with a wide range of flue pipe materials, including stainless steel, galvanized steel, and vitreous enamel. However, it is essential to check the specifications of the reducing tee to ensure compatibility with your chosen pipe material.
Can reducing tees be used in both residential and commercial applications? +
Yes, reducing tees are versatile fittings that can be used in both residential and commercial settings. Whether you need to connect flue pipes in a home fireplace or a commercial boiler system, reducing tees offer a reliable solution.
How do I determine the correct size of reducing tee for my flue system? +
To determine the correct size of reducing tee for your flue system, you need to know the diameter of the pipes you are connecting. Measure the inner diameter of the pipes at the connection points and choose a reducing tee that matches those sizes.
Are reducing tees reusable if I need to reconfigure my flue system? +
In most cases, reducing tees can be reused if they are removed carefully without causing damage. However, it is always advisable to inspect the tee and ensure that it is in good condition before reusing it in a new configuration.
