Fitting a 90*90*90mm Equal Tee SDR11 PE100 - What You Need to Know

What is an Equal Tee Fitting?

An equal tee fitting is a type of pipe fitting that allows you to connect two pipes of different diameters or lengths. The basic principle behind an equal tee fitting is that the internal diameter of the fitting is equal to the outer diameter of the pipe it connects to. So if you want to connect two pipes of different lengths, the length of the inner pipe should be equal to the length of the outer pipe. An equal tee fitting can be used in any area where you need to connect two pipes of different sizes - whether it is in a plumbing setup, a building process, or on a farm. An equal tee fitting can also be used as a drain fitting to create drains or gutters.

Types of Equal Tee Fittings

You can categorize equal tee fittings into two main types - straight and 90 degrees. There is also the popular 45*45*90mm Equal Tee SDR11 PE100 fittings. - Straight equal tee fittings have one end that is straight and the other end is curved. The straight end connects to the larger of the two pipes while the curved end connects to the smaller of the two pipes. - 90 degrees equal tee fittings have a curved end and straight end. The curved end connects to the larger of the two pipes while the straight end connects to the smaller of the two pipes. - 45*45*90mm equal tee fittings have one end that is 45*45*90mm while the other end is straight. The 45*45*90mm end connects to the larger of the two pipes while the straight end connects to the smaller of the two pipes.

Installing an Equal Tee Fitting

When installing an equal tee fitting, there are a few things to keep in mind. First of all, make sure that the pipe you are using is strong enough to hold the weight of the water. A good rule of thumb is to use pipe that is able to support the weight of water at least 10 times the weight of the water flowing through it. Next, ensure that the pipes are clean and free from any obstructions. You will also want to make sure that the joints are clean and free from any rust or scaling. Once you have cleaned and inspected the pipes and joints, you can start installing the equal tee fitting. Start by cutting notches or a pilot hole at the end of the larger pipe that you will be using. Place the smaller pipe into the pilot hole and line up the end of the larger pipe with the end of the pilot hole until it stops. Turn on the water and make sure that it flows through the smaller pipe. If it is flowing through the larger pipe, you have aligned it correctly. Turn off the water and slowly push the large pipe through the pilot hole until it is fully through. Line up the other end of the pilot hole with the other end of the pilot hole and slowly push the large pipe through the pilot hole. Make sure the joint does not pinch and that the ends do not kink. In case it is pinching or kinking, simply use a pipe wrench to pull the joint free.
