Forming Tee Collars

Directly From Pipe

An advanced method for form- ing tee collars directly from par- ent tubing and pipe is being in- troduced to shipbuilders and pipe fabricators by T/Drill, Inc., Ann

Arbor, Mich.

By forming branch collars di- rectly into the pipe, the cost for tee fittings is eliminated, as well as two joints.

T/Drill offers four models of collar formation machines to ac- commodate the various applica- tions in copper, copper nickel, aluminum, carbon steel and stain- less steel.

The new T/Drill method for forming a tee collar directly into the pipe or tube has tremendous cost advantages when compared to current methods of branching pipes.

Basically the cost of the fitting is eliminated, which in large sizes used in shipbuilding can cost over $2,000 per fitting.
