Tangential Outlet Reducing Tee
Tangential Outlet Reducing Tee
(OP)
Has anyone ever seen or know of a vendor that supplies tangential inlet pvc saddles or tangential outlet reducing tees? I'm looking for either a 2" tangential saddle on a 4" pipe or a tangential outlet reducing tee with a 4" run and 2" branch. Any help appreciated

Or like this except tangential to branch run

Wyes, angle branches etc create large stresses at the crotch and are quite rare.
Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.

Are you making a small cyclone/hydroclone? You can get those ready-made.
Good Luck,

I'm hoping I can find something for < $100. I recieved a FRP quote from a large FRP pipe and fitting supplier for $1200. Not ideal for prototype build.
Steel prices are crazy these days so I figured PVC would be best for prototype.
I will contact Charlotte Pipe.

Also 3D printing a water tight tee that can withstand 20psig is no simple task. It has to be coated with epoxy etc. I was thinking there would be someone out there who could just supply the part readymade.

I could just buy say a 6"x6"x6" PVC block, center drill a 4" hole then drill a 2" hole tangential to it using the orthogonal block face. Might not be the prettiest thing, but I'm a garage engineer after all. I wouldn't need any sophisticated tools either.
Thank you

Or, to build it with FRP could be a option?
RE: Tangential Outlet Reducing Tee
FRP can be made quite cheaply so long as I do it myself. I was looking for an easy out hoping you folks would know of a supplier...I've been searching for one for quite some time with no luck.
Charlotte pipe, nibco, no luck.

I found a company in south africa, trithane, that sells individual cyclone parts - apex, inlet housing, vortex finders etc. This is my easy out.
