03Technical description

The grooved mechanical tee is a ductile iron (ASTM A536) branch fitting that mounts by clamping around the main pipe over a hole cut on site, without welding and without cutting or grooving the main pipe. The outlet provides a grooved (or threaded, depending on model) connection for the branch, and sealing is done by an elastomeric gasket housed in the casing.

The grooved joint of the system corresponds to the joining method of AWWA C606 (Grooved and Shouldered Joints). In fire protection networks, fittings must be UL/FM listed products installed per NFPA 13 (2025 edition); the working pressure of each diameter-outlet combination is defined by the manufacturer’s listing, so it is confirmed when quoting. Compared with a standard grooved tee, the mechanical tee avoids cutting the pipe and grooving two ends: it only requires the hole with the diameter the manufacturer specifies for each outlet.

Installation recommendations

We dispatch grooved mechanical tees to Bogotá, Medellín, Cali, Barranquilla and all of Colombia. Request a quote via WhatsApp indicating main x branch size, outlet type, fluid, and whether the project requires UL/FM listing to confirm availability and price.

04Frequently asked questions

What is the price of a grooved mechanical tee for branch connection?

The price depends on the main x branch combination, outlet type, and quantity. TECTUL quotes per unit with the project data.

How is it different from a standard grooved tee?

The mechanical tee installs over a hole in the continuous pipe, clamping it with a bolted casing; the standard tee requires cutting the pipe and grooving the ends with couplings on each branch.

Is it suitable for fire protection networks?

Yes, provided the product is UL/FM listed and installed per NFPA 13 (2025 edition). The listing of the specific lot is confirmed when quoting.

What pressure does it withstand?

The working pressure is defined by the manufacturer’s listing for each diameter and outlet type; we do not publish a single value. It is confirmed with the manufacturer’s data sheet when quoting.

How is the grooved mechanical tee installed?

The main pipe is drilled to the diameter specified by the manufacturer, the edge is cleaned, the gasket and casing are positioned, and the bolts are tightened alternately to the specified torque; then it is hydrostatically tested.

Does TECTUL dispatch the grooved mechanical tee outside Bogotá?

Yes. We dispatch to Bogotá, Medellín, Cali, Barranquilla and all of Colombia, coordinating transport according to volume, weight, and urgency of the order.
