Tee Cap c/w Drain Ø 175 (2-175-037)

Introduction

The Tee Cap c/w Drain Ø 175 is a meticulously engineered solution designed to cap off the bottom or unused section of a flue tee. Essential for ensuring the efficient operation and safety of flue systems, this product is particularly suited for solid fuel and gas/oil appliances such as woodstoves, coal-effect fires, and oil boilers. With its blend of high-grade materials and precise engineering, the Tee Cap offers both durability and operational excellence, making it a perfect addition for both domestic and trade applications.

Key Features and Benefits

High-Quality Materials: Crafted from an outer skin of 304 stainless steel and an inner skin of 316 stainless steel, both at a uniform thickness of 0.40mm, this Tee Cap is built to resist the harsh environments often encountered in flue systems. This not only ensures longevity but also maintains the integrity of the system under fluctuating temperatures.

Efficient Insulation: The inclusion of high-density, compressed rockwool (200kg/m³) provides excellent insulation, reducing heat loss and helping maintain efficiency in your heating system. This means lower energy bills and a reduced environmental footprint.

Condensation Management: The integrated 10mm threaded drain is specifically designed to address the issue of excess condensation. By allowing for a straightforward connection to a drain pipe, it ensures that moisture is effectively managed, reducing the risk of corrosion and other moisture-related issues.

Compliance and Safety: With HETAS Approval and CE marking, the Tee Cap meets all necessary regulatory standards, offering reassurance that it adheres to the highest safety protocols. Additionally, the safe distance of 50mm to combustibles is rigorously maintained, making it a reliable component in any flue setup.

Installation Guide

Installing the Tee Cap is a straightforward process. The design incorporates a secure locking band that ensures the cap remains firmly in place, while the 10mm threaded drain simplifies the task of connecting a drain pipe. Follow these simple steps for a secure installation:
• Locate the bottom or unused end of your 90/135 tee in the flue system.
• Fit the Tee Cap in place and secure it with the provided locking band.
• Connect the drain pipe to the 10mm threaded drain to manage condensation effectively.
• Ensure that the cap is installed at least 50mm away from any combustible materials.
By following these guidelines, even those with limited technical expertise can ensure that the installation is both safe and effective.
