Read the two end sizes first (called the 'run' of the T), largest size first, then the T branch. The most common ones we use in residential new construction are 3/4-3/4-1/2 T, 3/4-1/2-1/2 T, 3/4-1/2-3/4 T. A T which is all one size is just called by one number, ex. a 3/4 T, not a 3/4-3/4-3/4 T.

How do you join copper pipe to copper pipe?
The quick and easy way is to use a compression "Shark Bite" fitting. It slips onto the copper pipe and creates a tight fit. Then use a threaded or pex flex adapter for your for the connection.Sweat on a male adapter to the copper pipe then just screw on the flex hose. You can also cut the pipe sweat on a tee then use a nipple and male adapter.
How do you repair water pipe vibration from all sinks?
This condition is caused by "water hammer". It's water pressure fluxuations caused by turning faucet on & off. To fix the problem, attach (solder?) a length of pipe, as long as possible, but 16-18 inches should suffice, with a cap on the end, installed vertically, with a tee joint, behind the faucet. Anywhere in the feed pipe near the faucet is OK, but the closer the better. When water is brought back up to poressure, a air shock absorber is created, and will solve your water hammer problem.

What are some examples of a tee joint in the electrical trade?
A tee joint in the electrical trade is a conduit fitting. It is used in conduit work where there needs to be a device connected into the main conduit run. An example of this is where a light switch needs to be installed into the conduit run. The main conduit run starts at the distribution panel and proceeds to a lighting fixture. On the way a switch is needed to operate the light fixture. In the main conduit run a tee fitting is installed so as to pick up the switch for the fixture. When the conduit system is complete the wire is then drawn in. The "hot" conductor is pulled to the tee fitting and then diverts to the switch box to pick up the switch and then back up the same conduit to the tee fitting and then on to the lighting fixture. Splices are not usually made in tee fittings.

What is plumbing tee?
it is a T shaped pipe fitting that joins 3 pipes
What is the pipe formula for the take off of a tee?
The same as a short radius 90 of that same pipe size. I Rule of thumb, for example: 1/2 inch copper tubing you would take off 1/2 inch, likewise 3/4 tubing take 3/4 inch. Your question is 'pipe' are you actually using pipe, cutting and threading pipe? I am often asked questions and find that people are not using 'pipe'. Copper tubing, pvc, cpvc, dwv are quite forgiving when it comes to a slight miscut. Iron and galvanized piping is a different story, get it right the first time!
Can you mix brass pipe tee with galvanized pipe?
No you cannot mix the fittings, the properties from the galvanised pipe will weaken the properties in the brass. It is always best to either change or repair a pipe or fitting with the same material.

How do you add a washing machine to your condo next to the bathroom?
The easiest way to do this, is to tie into the drain below the lavatory piping as it connects to the vertical pipes in the wall.Cut in the tee for the washer below the tee for the lavatory.Run the 1 1/2" or 2" pipe horisontaly to the washer location,and add a p-trap of the same size.If the p-trap is inside the wall, you will need a solid or glued trap,and if outside the wall it is fine to use a union trap.From the trap, bring the stand pipe up to 40" off the floor,for the washer drain hose.The proper slope of the pipe from the tee fitting to the trap is 1/4" per foot up to the trap, and the maximum length of a 1 1/2" pipe is 6 feet.The maximum length of a 2" pipe is 8 feet.
Can you connect a new toilet to an older toilet vent?
Yes if the vent pipe is 4" and vertical by code and there is nothing connected between your toilet tee and where you would connect your new toilet tee. If not worried about codes then yes you can connect to a 3" vent line if no other vent lines are connected down stream. If you have a vent pipe that is less then 3" and or you have other vents connected between your old toilet tee and your new toilet tee then NO you can not connect a new tee for your toilet.
How do you replace a pressure tank and possibly the tank tee fitting?
Turn off the breaker to the well.Drain the house lines through the boiler drain located on the presure tank tee,using a garden hose.Take the information off the tank and go buy a new one at the pumbing or hardware store. Note: For this to work with copper your tee must be metal. You will need:1) a replacement tank2) teflon tape3) the pipe needed to hook it up to the tee. I recommend copper.4) two male "street adapters" (copper / PVC pipe to threaded fitting)5) a hacksaw6) 150 grit sandpaper7) (for copper) plumbing solder8) (for copper) rosin, and a rosin brush9) (for copper) a propane torch10) (for PVC) Purple Primer11) (for PVC) PVC cement Procedure:1) Buy supplies2) Shut off the well.3) Shut off the valve from the tank to the rest of the house. If not available, turn on the faucet at the highest point in the house.4) Drain the system through the drain at the tank.5) Cut the pipe between the tank and the tee. Remove the old tank.6) Unscrew old pipe from the tee. Be gentle. If you mess up the tee, this job will get very big very fast.7) Locate where you want the tank to be.8) Cut the pipe to the correct length. (Measure twice cut once.)9) Solder one(!) street fitting onto the pipe. Thread it tightly into the tank. Don't forget the teflon tape.10) Thread the other, unused, fitting into your tee.11) Place the tank in place and fit the pipe into the fitting in the tee.12) If there is metal within 2" of the unfinished solder joint wrap a soggy rag around all plastic parts.13) Solder the pipe into the fitting.14) Charge the tank.15) Reset the system. Close valves you opened, open valves you closed.16) Turn the pump on. Check for leaks. If you find a leak on PVC TURN THE PUMP OFF! If the fitting isn't glued properly it could blow apart spraying everything with water. Tips:1) Clean all fittings where you will glue / solder with fine sandpaper.2) Use flux on solder joints. The flux will create a good solder joint and will act as a lubricant when fitting the pieces.3) Don't use lead solder. Just don't.4) Be liberal with your glue. Excess glue may be ugly, but it's better than a leak. You don't get any extra points for using less. (The darn stuff usually goes bad before I use it all up, anyways.)5) When possible, twist the PVC glue joints to distribute the glue around the entire circumference of the pipe.
How do you tap into an existing 3 PVC drain pipe in order to insert a tee connector?
Measure the length of your tee, subtract 1 1/2 to 2 inches for each socket depth on the ends. The amount that is left over after you subtract for the sockets is what you want to cut out of the existing pipe. You should be able to spread the pipe apart enough to fit the tee in place when ready to glue. Or you can buy a saddle for the size pipe you want to hook in and use a hole saw for that size pipe and drill the hole in the 3 inch on the side. The saddle will fit around the pipe and cover the hole and now you have a non spliced tee. And make sure you use purple primer and heavy duty grey glue when gluing this. It will never leak and does not disolve from harsh toilet bowl cleaners.
