 Findlay, Ohio – March
20, 2006: The new UNI-T™ tapping tee from
Hancor offers flexibility and convenience. Specially designed
for any project that requires a tapped line, this versatile
polyurethane tapping tee provides savings in installation
time and inventory costs. UNI-T accomplishes this through
its patented spacer ring system that contains five removable
rings.
Before UNI-T, five separate
items were required to make the connection between a given
size service pipe and 12" through 60" corrugated
high density polyethylene (HDPE) main line pipe. Now, UNI-T
can accommodate all main line pipe sizes in a single fitting.
The flexible yet robust UNI-T
has a patented design that permits it to be folded in certain
places and quickly installed into a main line pipe without
any mechanical assistance as spacer rings are easily removed
over the folded end flange.
“At Hancor our goal is
to provide products that make our customer’s job easier,” says Bill Altermatt, Vice President of Sales & Marketing at
Hancor. “UNI-T helps to round out and complement Hancor’s
broad product offering, and its innovative design certainly
sets it apart from other products.”
The UNI-T has several distinct
advantages. It facilitates a simple, fast installation because
no tools or mechanical devices are required, and it only
involves one-piece fitting, versus other products that have
multiple components. The tee’s design results in minimal
extension into the main line, achieving a five per cent or
less obstruction of flow. In addition, UNI-T can reduce inventory
by 80 per cent, replacing 15 items that would normally be
stocked.
Available in three different
diameters (4", 6" and 8"), the UNI-T’s
flexibility is demonstrated when the tee is installed. To
install a 4" UNI-T into a 12" drain line, all five
rings are left in place, to install a 6" UNI-T into
a 30" line requires the removal of two rings and to
install an 8" UNI-T into a 60" line, all rings
are removed.
This innovative tee from Hancor features a snug, soil-tight
connection into 12" to 60" corrugated HDPE pipe,
plus it includes a Nyloplast adapter coupling for connecting
4", 6" or 8" corrugated HDPE service pipe.
This adapter is not required for SDR-35 service pipe
