MECHANICAL TEE
The Lede hole-cut mechanical tee provides a fast and easy mid-point branch outlet without welding. First a hole is cut or drilled at the desired outlet location. The mechanical tee is then positioned so that the built-in locating collar fits within the hole. As the housing bolts are tightened the pressure moulded gasket forms a leak-tight seal. Use of the Lede mechanical tee can eliminate the need for multiple couplings and fitings.
Caution: Piping procceses require that main and branch connections are at a true 90° angle. Also be certain that the locating collar is securely positioned inside the outlet hole before tightening the housing. When mechanical tees or mechanical crosses are used as transiton pieces between two runs, the tees or crosses shall be assembled prior to making the branch connectons.
