Taking a Deep Dive into the Workings of a Tank Tee

Maintaining proper water pressure is essential to any plumbing system within a home or building. While it takes many components to obtain this goal, the tank tee makes up a part of the solution. A tank tee is a multi-port fitting that is designed to connect a 压力罐 到水系统. Tank tees help organize all the components surrounding 压力罐s while allowing all parts to be easily accessible.

While a simple configuration, the tank tee contains multiple connections and accessory ports. This would include the tank connection, control tapping, lateral, and drain holes. Below is a breakdown of the tank tee and what each of its parts bring to the application:

Not all tank tees are created the same. 例如, tank tees are available in a variety of different materials as certain applications require a specific material, 比如不锈钢, 无铅黄铜, 镀锌, 和聚氯乙烯.  In addition, depending on the application, certain tank tee options are more ideal than others. Below are examples of common tank tee options offered in the industry:

• 短和. 长
  • Short tank tees are used on 压力罐s with the tank connection protruding through the side of the tank’s base
  • Long tank tees are used on 压力罐s with the tank connection being either at the center or offset inside the bottom of the tank’s base
• 工会和. 不属于工会的
  • 联盟 tank tees reduce the labor involved for tank replacement. It easily disconnects the tank so that a new tank can be fitted with the tank tee leg from the old tank, 就位, and reconnected to the tank tee head by tightening the union.
  • Non-union tank tees are more economical but don’t allow for the same ease of installation that union tank tees do
