Understanding the Importance of a Quality Tee Cap

A well-designed Tee Cap is crucial in any flue system. It performs several important functions:

- Sealing Unused Ends: Prevents the entry of debris, animals, and water into your flue, ensuring it stays clean and functioning.
- Thermal Efficiency: Incorporates high-density rockwool insulation that aids in maintaining temperature integrity within the flue.
- Ease of Maintenance: Features a Locking Band mechanism which allows for straightforward removal, ensuring that regular chimney sweeps are hassle-free.

By investing in a premium Tee Cap, you are safeguarding not only the lifespan of your flue system but also enhancing its overall efficiency. This is particularly important in environments where multiple fuel types are used, including wood, gas, oil, and low sulphur coal appliances.

Features That Set the Tee Cap with Drain Ø 125 Apart

Durable Construction

Manufactured using high-quality 304-grade stainless steel for the outer layer and 316-grade stainless steel for the inner layer, this Tee Cap is built to withstand the temperatures and wear and tear encountered in active flue systems. The robust materials add friction resistance and significantly reduce the risk of corrosion over time. The inclusion of compressed rockwool insulation (200kg/m3) ensures that the Tee Cap maintains optimum thermal performance while keeping a safe distance from combustible materials.

Innovative Drainage System

The standout feature of this product is the integrated 10mm threaded drain. This essential design element enables the effective removal of condensate. In many installations, the build-up of moisture can lead to dangerous blockages or degradation of the flue structure. With a reliable drainage pathway, you can avoid these pitfalls, ensuring that your heating system runs safely and efficiently.

The Tee Cap with Drain Ø 125 is fully HETAS approved and CE marked, meeting rigorous standards (EN1856-1 T600 N1 W V2 L50040 G50 and EN1856-1 T200 W V2 L50040 O20). This certification means you can trust this component to perform under demanding conditions while complying with all current safety regulations.
