UPVC Solvent-Welded Reducing Tee
In various industrial installations and piping systems, when branching from a main pipeline, if the branch lines have smaller diameters compared to the main pipe, a UPVC reducing tee is used for the connection. The UPVC reducing tee belongs to the category of UPVC solvent-welded fittings.
Technical Specifications of UPVC Reducing Tee
The high resistance to chemicals, temperature, and a pressure rating of 16 bar make the UPVC solvent-welded reducing tee suitable for various systems such as swimming pool and jacuzzi piping, water treatment plants, greenhouses, oil and gas industries, as well as chemical and metal industries.
The technical specifications of the UPVC reducing tee are as follows:
- Pressure rating: 16 bar
- Material: UPVC, non-metallic nature
- Resistance to scaling, decay, and chemical corrosion
- High temperature resistance
- Prevents pressure loss with smooth inner surface
- Excellent sealing performance
- Made from colorless and odorless materials
- Cost-effective and economical
- Resistance to heat and cold
- Ease and speed of installation
Applications of UPVC Solvent-Welded Reducing Tee
The UPVC solvent-welded reducing tee, also known as a reducing branch tee, is widely used in the building industry, swimming pool and spa installations, and water supply systems. Similar to other tee fittings, this product is designed to connect three pipelines, allowing the flow to be collected from two directions and directed into a third, or conversely, to be distributed from one line into two. In a UPVC solvent-welded reducing tee, one of the inlets/outlets differs in size from the other two.
The UPVC solvent-welded reducing tee is considered a cost‑effective solution because, without it, a standard tee combined with an adhesive reducer would be required to create the same branch connection. Therefore, using the UPVC solvent-welded reducing tee is more economical and practical.
Key applications of UPVC solvent-welded reducing tees include:
- Branching from a main pipeline to smaller‑diameter lines
- Creating multiple outlets from the main water inlet line of a swimming pool
- Use of UPVC reducing tees in spa ring lines and pump manifolds
