Gruvlok Figure 7061P Plain End Reducing TEE
The Gruvlok Figure 7061P Plain End Reducing TEE is a durable industrial pipe fitting designed to create a 90-degree reduced-size branch connection in plain-end piping systems. Engineered for commercial, mechanical, industrial, and utility applications, the Figure 7061P combines a straight-through main run with a smaller branch outlet. This configuration provides an efficient way to distribute or combine flow while transitioning to a reduced branch pipe size.
Plain End Reducing TEE for Branch Connections
Unlike a standard equal-size tee, the Gruvlok Figure 7061P Plain End Reducing TEE incorporates a smaller branch connection directly into the fitting. This integrated reduction can eliminate the need for a separate reducer, nipple, or additional adapter, helping decrease the total number of components required in a piping assembly.
The 90-degree branch configuration is ideal for distribution piping where a smaller line must connect to a larger main while maintaining a compact, organized piping layout.
Efficient Plain End Mechanical Joining
The Figure 7061P Reducing TEE features plain ends designed for connection to compatible plain-end pipe using appropriately selected plain-end mechanical couplings and gaskets. This configuration does not require grooved fitting ends and can provide an efficient mechanical joining solution for suitable industrial piping applications.
Mechanical connections can reduce field welding requirements while simplifying installation, inspection, maintenance, system modification, and future expansion.
Proper component selection should consider nominal pipe sizes, actual pipe outside diameter, operating pressure, system temperature, conveyed media, coupling requirements, and gasket compatibility.
