The hole-cut mechanical tee provides a fast andeasy mid-point branch outlet without welding.First a holeis cut or drilled at the desired outlet location.Themechanical tee is then positioned so that the built-inlocating collar fits within the hole.As the housing bolts aretightened the pressure moulded gasket forms a leak-tightseal.Use of the mechanical tee can eliminate theneed for multiple coupings and fittings.

Offers a fullrange of mechanical tees:Model XGQT04:Threaded outlet,NPT or BSPT (ISO 7-1)pipe threads Model XGQT04G:Cut-grooved outlet(machined) Model L922 and 041:Saddle-Let;Small mechanical teewith threaded outlet,NPT or BSPT(ISO 7-1)pipe threads

Caution:Piping practices require that main and branch connectionsare at a true 90°angle.Also be certain that the locating collar issecurely positioned inside the outlet hole before tightening thehousing.When mechanical tees or mechanical crosses are used astransition pieces between two runsthe tees or crosses shall beassembled prior to making the branch connections.
