Fire Accessories National Standard Victaulic Grooved Pipe Fittings Tee

Product Advantage

1. Compliant with National and International Standards
   This grooved pipe tee conforms strictly to both China National Standard (GB) and Victaulic specifications, ensuring compatibility across major piping systems. Its precise manufacturing meets ISO 9001 certified processes, guaranteeing consistent quality, dimensional accuracy, and safety performance. This feature not only simplifies system integration but also supports global fire system applications.

   
   

2. Time-Saving Grooved Connection Design
   Thanks to its grooved-end configuration, this tee allows for up to 50% faster installation compared to traditional welded or threaded tees. It reduces labor costs and minimizes downtime on-site. No flame, no welding, and no special tools are required, enabling safer and more flexible installations, especially in confined spaces or retrofit projects.

   
   

3. Durable Carbon Steel Construction with Corrosion Resistance
   Constructed from high-quality carbon steel, the tee features zinc galvanization or epoxy coating for enhanced corrosion resistance. It maintains structural integrity in harsh environments, including high-humidity and chemically exposed industrial areas. These surface treatments extend product lifespan by over 20% compared to non-coated alternatives.

   
   

4. Pressure Rating and Leak-Free Operation
   With a working pressure rating up to 2.5MPa (362 psi), this tee is ideal for demanding fire suppression systems. Its precise grooved seal, when used with proper couplings and gaskets, ensures leak-free operation under both high-pressure and thermal expansion conditions, outperforming many traditional connection methods in safety-critical environments.

   
   

5. Versatile Sizing and Customization
   Available in DN50–DN300 sizes, this grooved tee supports various fire piping configurations. Whether for horizontal branch connections or vertical riser distribution, the product can be customized in terms of groove type, coating color, and pressure rating to suit specific project needs. This flexibility enhances usability in diversified fire protection applications.

   
   

6. Optimized for Fire System Applications
   Designed specifically for wet, dry, pre-action, and deluge fire systems, this tee fits into commercial, industrial, and residential building fire lines. It’s engineered to integrate seamlessly with other grooved pipe fittings, such as elbows, reducers, couplings, and valves, to create a reliable and expandable fire suppression infrastructure.

   
   

Product Uses

1. Commercial Building Fire Sprinkler Systems
   In high-rise commercial buildings, this Victaulic grooved tee is used to split main lines into branch lines feeding individual sprinkler heads. Its quick installation capability helps reduce construction time while providing reliable flow paths. Compared to threaded alternatives, it offers improved resistance to pressure surges and thermal expansion.

   
   

2. Industrial Fire Suppression Networks
   Factories, warehouses, and refineries rely on high-volume fire suppression networks. This tee, with its 2.5MPa pressure capacity, ensures consistent water or foam delivery to critical areas. Against competitors, it offers enhanced corrosion protection through epoxy coating, particularly beneficial in facilities dealing with chemicals or high humidity.

   
   

3. Municipal and Utility Infrastructure
   Used in underground fire loops and hydrant feeds, this grooved tee ensures minimal installation time without sacrificing performance. The durable carbon steel body withstands ground pressure and soil corrosion, outperforming many cast iron alternatives.

   
   

4. Retrofit and Expansion Projects
   In buildings requiring upgrades or modifications, the grooved tee provides a non-invasive solution that avoids cutting and welding existing lines. This minimizes disruptions and complies with modern fire code updates.
