Barred Tee
Barred Tee
(OP)
I have an application where we are installing a 20" diameter pipe with pig catcher/launchers at both ends.
We intend to stub in a variety of pipe sizes 8" and 12" branches into this 20" and need to prevent a poly (bullet shaped) pig from getting hung up on the stub ins.
I know that a barred tee is typically used. Can anyone forward who might carry this type of fitting?
Alternately can anyone offer me a suggestion as to a simple inexpensive way to prevent the pig from hanging up. I know that flat bars can be welded across the opening, but I am looking for someones experiences as to methods to accomplish this.

RE: Barred Tee
The idea is to prevent your pig/scrapper from getting caught in the branch. This is accomplished by welding 2"x3/8" FB parallel (on end) to you run center line @ 1 1/2" centers. The flatbar must be flush with the ID of your run pipe.
I may be able to scan the drawing and Email it to you if you like.
Good Luck!
