2 1/2 in. U-Bolt Mechanical Tee with a 1 in. FNPT Threaded Outlet is a compact branch tee designed for ease of installation in tight spaces. This tee secures a threaded outlet to a hole in steel pipe using a plated carbon-steel u-bolt. This small mechanical tee is perfect for connection to sprinkler heads, drop nipples, or air and water pressure gauges.
This UL and FM-approved 2 1/2 in. U-Bolt Mechanical Tee with a 1 in. FNPT Threaded Outlet features a ductile iron body conforming to ASTM A536 Grade 65-45-12. Each mechanical tee features a threaded outlet for 1 in. (25.4 mm) pipe with National Pipe Thread (NPT).
2 1/2 in. U-Bolt Mechanical Tee with a 1 in. FNPT Threaded Outlet provides a water-tight seal with EPDM, a water-resistant synthetic rubber good for cold and hot water, sea water, and wastewater. Not suitable for petroleum service.
To install this 2 1/2 in. U-Bolt Mechanical Tee with a 1 in. FNPT Threaded Outlet, first drill a hole in the pipe, ensuring that a 5/8-inch area around the hole is clear of dirt, rust, and grease. Lubricate the exposed surface of the gasket and place it in the mechanical tee, ensure that the tab in the gasket aligns with the recesses in the house. Then, install the tee over the hole, ensuring that the locating collar engages the outlet hole. Tighten the nuts evenly until the required torque is reached.
