In the execution of building electrical installations, guiding and protecting wires and cables along standard paths is of great importance. One of the key components for branching and changing the direction of electrical lines is the electrical conduit tee. A new generation of these tees, called the pull tee, has emerged, which, by having a separate cover, allows for easier installation and professional access to the wires and cables inside it. This product, like the pull elbow, has a separate cover that is tightened in place with screws. With the presence of these fittings, the use of other power distribution equipment such as electrical conduits, couplings, two-way fittings, etc., is also more easily facilitated.

A pull tee is one of the types of fittings in electrical conduit systems used to create a 90-degree branch or connect three electrical conduit paths to each other. The main difference between this product and an ordinary tee is the existence of a dedicated cover on the tee body, which is tightened with screws. This separate cover allows easier access to the passing wires and cables so that, if repairs are needed, the exact location of damage to the wire can be identified without having to open the connections.
Pull tees are manufactured in accordance with the standard dimensions of electrical steel conduits. Each type of tee is suitable for a specific diameter of electrical conduit, and this compatibility must be a priority during the installation and execution of this product. Among the most common sizes of these tees are:
When you want to have a complete and ideal electrical conduit installation project, you must first and foremost, alongside procuring and purchasing steel electrical conduits, have a complete package of various fittings at your disposal. The number of fittings you need is unique to each project, so the same number of these tees and other fittings cannot be used in multiple cabling networks.
Given the structure of these parts, they function with a dual mechanism. That is, they can both act as a coupling to continue the cabling path and also create a 90-degree change of direction. All of these elements are present on the pull tee, and this will be a factor so that you do not use elbows repeatedly.
Because conduits of the same name or size are connected to pull tees, each having a 90-degree angle relative to the other, it can be concluded that these connecting parts effectively contribute to the integration of the cabling network, increased order and better management, and most importantly, reduced complexity of the cable paths. An important priority considered by executive technicians in a cabling project is the correct use of electrical conduit fittings.
If you do not have a good understanding of these parts, you may witness results such as irregular installation, excessive crowding of conduits, the possibility of network damage, and similar issues. For this reason, it is always emphasized that we use their fittings in the correct place based on the architecture and conduit installation plan.
When it comes to covered connecting parts in cabling networks, we have an added advantage. Covered fittings provide a special capability for electrical conduit systems so that greater control and command can be had over the network consisting of conduits as well as electrical cables. Imagine if the inter-conduit electrical connecting parts had no cover at all. In that case, a great deal of limitation would arise.
The first issue is that if, for any reason, a technical fault forms in the network, troubleshooting them would be very difficult and, in some cases, impossible. Most importantly, because of the frequent changes in direction of the cables inside the conduits, these covers must definitely be present so that a gentle and ideal change of direction can be created with high safety.
The design of complementary parts, whether inter-conduit fittings or structural fittings, is always such that it eliminates or minimizes potential damage in the cabling system. With the presence of covered fittings in various types, such as pull tees, elbows, etc., not only will the installation process be quick and easy, but in the subsequent stages, there is also the possibility of making changes to the network for replacing and substituting cables.
For the design and manufacture of various types of electrical conduits, steel alloys are usually used. Regarding their fittings, such as the pull tee, this rule will also be followed. Therefore, the most suitable metal used for manufacturing these parts is steel. However, other common materials such as iron, aluminum, and their derivatives may also be used. Among these, stainless steel types are the most resistant metals used to date for a wide range of fittings. This is so that the pull tee and other connecting parts on the steel electrical conduit do not suffer from rust and corrosion.
Usually, various processes known as cold galvanizing and hot-dip galvanizing are used to rustproof them. Coatings applied to these parts through molten zinc in the form of hot-dip galvanization are among the most resistant coatings that can create a very ideal anti-corrosion property. However, cold galvanized coatings are usually used when you want to use the parts in low-stress environments.
Numerous advantages can be listed for the pull tee. In fact, they are inseparable components in electrical conduit networks, and a very high number of these parts are always used in every electrical conduit installation project. Therefore, the advantages and benefits considered for them include the following:
Using the pull tee increases the organization of the electrical conduit network, and you can better set up complex conduit systems with any architecture you have in mind.
Given that these parts are usually installed at heights along with steel electrical conduits, the type of material and the thickness considered for their manufacture is such that the weight of the part will be low.
The very high structural density of these parts will ensure that they do not suffer structural deterioration or fractures in their body.
You can use these parts in any environment. Therefore, environmental stresses such as humid weather cannot cause chemical damage such as rust on the pull tee connecting parts.
The numerous sizings designed and manufactured for these connecting parts make it possible for you to set up the most extensive electrical conduit projects at the heights of structures.
These parts are designed in high quantities and with increasing production volume by domestic companies, so you, as an industrial buyer, can expect that an affordable price has been set for them.
