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?
To join copper pipe to copper pipe, you can use soldering or brazing. First, clean the surfaces to be joined, apply flux to the areas, heat the pipes evenly with a torch, and then apply solder or brazing material to create a strong bond. Be sure to follow proper safety precautions when working with a torch.
How do you connect a vent pipe to the horizontal branch and main pipes running below the toilet floor of a high rise commercial building?
The toilet should have a 3" drain coming from the toilet and has to leave the room some where. When it passes the wall you can put a 3"x 2"x 3"sanitary tee( which should be going with the flow)and have vent stack running along the interior of the wall this may involve tearing out the drywall. Then just tie the vent on to an existing one. Keep in mind; the vent can be 2", and the vent can be no more than 4' away from the center of the toilet drain.
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.
How many tee times are usually offered at a golf course in one day?
The number of tee times offered at a golf course in one day can vary, but typically ranges between 100-200 tee times. This number can be influenced by factors such as course popularity, size, and the amount of daylight available for play.
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 are the common uses of a copper tee in plumbing systems?

What are the differences between a sanitary tee and a wye fitting in plumbing systems?
A sanitary tee fitting is used in plumbing systems to connect a horizontal pipe to a vertical pipe at a 90-degree angle, while a wye fitting is used to connect a horizontal pipe to a vertical pipe at a 45-degree angle. The wye fitting is better for maintaining smooth flow in the plumbing system compared to the sanitary tee.

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.
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 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.
