Round Duct Tees, Shoes, Y-Branches and Saddles
Straight and 45 degree tees, boot (shoe) tees, Y-pieces, crosses, saddles and take-offs
Overview
What it is for
Branch fittings split or join the air. A straight tee takes the branch off at 90 degrees; a shoe or boot tee gives the air a smoother entry into the branch; a 45 degree tee or a Y-piece splits the flow with less pressure loss.
Saddles and take-offs let you cut a branch into a duct that is already running: cut the hole, fit the saddle, fix it. That is the fitting installers reach for on site changes.
For any tee we need three numbers: main diameter in, main diameter out and branch diameter, plus the branch angle.
Make it yourself or buy it finished? If you run your own round duct, our SBTF-1602 spiral tubeformer and SBEM-1250 elbow machine make spiral pipe and bends in house. Many shops do both: make the high-volume sizes and buy the awkward fittings finished. See also how duct fittings are made.

Frequently asked questions
About tees, shoes and branches
What is the difference between a tee and a saddle?
A tee is a complete fitting that sits in the run. A saddle is fitted onto an existing duct over a hole you cut, so it suits branches added later or on site.
How do I write a tee on my list?
Main in x main out x branch, and the angle. For example 250 x 250 x 150, 90 degree boot tee.
How long does production take?
Production time depends on the item mix and quantity and is confirmed at quotation. As a guide, a recent mixed order of about 1,900 bends and dampers was produced in 50 working days.
Do you have a price list?
No. Fittings are quoted per order from your take-off, because the price depends on the diameter, gauge, coating and quantity of each line. Send the list and we quote every line.
