The Taco Comfort Solutions 1-1/2" LoadMatch® Twin-Tee® Branch Fitting is a highly engineered patented piping specialty designed explicitly for single-pipe hydronic heating and cooling systems. By replacing two standard tees with a single, precision-cast twin configuration, this fitting ensures an identical pressure drop across both the supply and return sides of the terminal loop. This engineered hydraulic balance eliminates inter-loop thermal siphoning and cross-talk, ensuring predictable, constant flow to terminal heat exchangers.
Key Hydraulic & Structural Advantages:
- Patented Internal Baffling: Features a factory-engineered internal dividing barrier that ensures supply fluid cannot short-circuit directly back into the return line, guaranteeing designated BTU transfer to the branch line.
- Drastic Labor Reduction: Replaces multiple field-sweat connections with a single component, cutting manual installation hours, leak risks, and structural piping footprints in cramped mechanical spaces.
- Optimized Flow Dynamics: Engineered to minimize system pump head requirements. The internal casting profile smoothly redirects fluid into secondary branch loops with lower frictional resistance than standard field-fabricated tee arrangements.
Application Notes: Manufactured from premium, heavy-walled cast iron or ductile iron to withstand standard institutional mechanical system pressures. Ideal for commercial retrofits, schools, and multi-zone terminal heat pump water loops.
