6. Outlet/Reducing Tee Fitting This fitting is a valid alternative to thetraditional swan neck, and proves itself asa fast and low-cost solution. The efficientinternal system allows air to reach the pointof-useand drain toward the most convenientlow point of the system, so that no moisturestays within the main circuit. This fitting isalso an alternative to a traditional gooseneck (up and over) take-off point. It preventswater from dropping out of the main pipingloop into the drop line. All systems should beinstalled with a slight slope to allow moistureto collect at one point in the system. Thispoint should be fitted with a drop line andterminated with a condensate drain.
PIPE REMOVAL: Loosen the fitting compression nut 1 to 1.5turns, push the pipe into the fitting and thenpull out.
