Tee Joint Installation
Care must be taken during installation of tee joints. Two cases are mentioned here
to demonstrate the importance of understanding the design of the water flow system.
a. Avoid "bullheading"
Do not connect piping to the tee connection with opposing flow directions.
turbulence occurs here and
causes high friction losses
b
. Encourage eduction out of a bypass tee branch.

Do not allow the higher return
water velocity to ‘ram’ into the tee
joint. This may cause a backflow
into the bypass branch.
