Stronger Than Most Competitor’s Products, Fully Welded, Airtight.Lateral Tees are essential dust collection fittings designed to minimize static pressure and improve overall system performance. They redirect airflow, reducing resistance encountered as air flows through the ductwork. By strategically incorporating Lateral Tees, consistent and efficient airflow is maintained, resulting in improved dust capture and removal.One of the key benefits of Lateral Tees is their ability to enhance the capture and removal of dust and particles. Effective dust collection is crucial for industries like woodworking, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing, where airborne particles can pose health risks and affect product quality. By reducing static pressure, Lateral Tees contribute to maintaining a cleaner and healthier working environment.Moreover, the use of Lateral Tees optimizes energy efficiency in dust collection systems. When static pressure is high, more power is required to maintain adequate airflow. By reducing pressure through Lateral Tees, the system operates more efficiently, potentially leading to energy and cost savings.Air Handling Systems manufactures Lateral Tees using 20-gauge steel, making them stronger than many competitor products. These fully welded and airtight fittings prevent leakage, ensuring their effectiveness and saving money in the long run. To minimize turbulence and potential particulate settlement, it is recommended to install Lateral Tee branches at a 45-degree angle when entering the main duct.Proper installation of Lateral Tees involves placing them to the side of the main duct, avoiding the entry of two branches opposite each other. For a 90-degree turn, a 45-degree elbow (EL45) can be added, and a Large End Coupling (COU2) is used to connect the Lateral Tee to the elbow.In summary, Lateral Tees are crucial fittings in dust collection systems. By reducing static pressure and improving airflow, they enhance dust capture and removal efficiency, promoting a cleaner and healthier working environment. Additionally, they contribute to energy efficiency and cost savings. Air Handling Systems' Lateral Tees are built with superior strength and airtight construction, ensuring their durability and effectiveness. Proper installation techniques further optimize their performance.Many others sizes of Tees available, call 800-367-3828 for quoteClick here for Tech Data on Lateral Tees
