Owner's Manual 

Wyes and Tees (Cleanout) 

 
Special  care  must  be  taken  when  designing  a 
Grease  Duct  to  provide  access  for  cleanout  and 
comply with NFPA 96 requirements.  
 
Inspection and cleanout points can be equipped with 
a dam at the access port.  The access port must be 
closed with a tee cap and the grease dam prevents 
grease  spillage  when  opened.    The  location  of  the 
access port in the tee is dependent on the orientation 
of the tee in the final installation.  Two types of tees 
are available to cover all possible configurations and 
insure  that  a  grease  dam  can  always  be  properly 
positioned.  
 
1) 

T1 Grease Tee

 (

Figure 44

) is your basic 90° Tee 

fitted  with  a  grease  Dam.    Refer  to 

Figure  45

  for 

dam position. 
 
2) 

T2  Grease  Tee

  (

Figure  46

)  has  inverted  female 

and male ends and covers mostly horizontal grease 
dam  configurations.    Refer  to 

Figure  47

  for  dam 

position. 
 
When  ordering  you  GreaseTee,  please  specify  tee 
type (T1 or T2) and dam position (P1, P2 or P3) 
 
 
The  Grease  Duct  Wye  (

Figure  48

)  is  useful  where 

the grease duct must be accessed for clean-out and 
inspection purposes.  It can be  used in place of the 
T1  and  T2  Grease  Tee  and  combined  with  a  Tee 
Cap to provide easy access clearance at the end of 
an  horizontal  run.    See 

Figure  49

  for  typical 

installation. 
 
 
The wyes and tees are attached and sealed to other 
pipe  sections  in  the  same  manner  as  described  in 

Chimney Joint Connection

 Section.

  

 
A  No-Tool  Tee  Cap  is  available  to  facilitate  access 
for inspection and cleanout.
