Mechanical-T® Bolted Branch Outlets SEE VICTAULIC PUBLICATION 10.01 FOR DETAILS
Victaulic Mechanical-T® Outlet provides a direct branch connection at any location a hole can
be cut in pipe. The hole is cut oversize to receive a “holefinder” locating collar which secures
the outlet in position permanently. A pressure responsive gasket seals on the pipe O.D.
Cross-type connections can be achieved by utilizing two upper housings of the same style and
size, with the same or differing branch size connections. NOTE: Style 920 and Style 920N
housings cannot be mated to achieve a cross connection.
Style 920 and Style 920N Mechanical-T outlets are available with grooved or female threaded STYLES 920 AND 920N STYLE 920 CROSS
outlet. Specify choice on order. Units are supplied painted with plated bolts. Galvanized hous- PATENTED
ings are available, supplied with plated bolts.
All sizes of Style 920 and 920N are rated at 500 psi/3450 kPa working pressure on Schedule
10 and 40 carbon steel pipe. They may also be used on high density polyethylene or poly-
butylene (HDPE) pipe. Pressure ratings on HDPE are dependent on the pipe rating. Contact
Victaulic for ratings on other pipe. Style 920 and 920N are not recommended for use on
PVC plastic pipe.
Standard piping practices dictate that the Mechanical-T Styles 920 and 920N must be
installed so that the main and branch connections are a true 90° angle when permanently
attached to the pipeline surface.
MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS Housing/Coating: Ductile iron conforming to ASTM A-536, grade 65-45-12, with orange enamel
coating. Ductile iron conforming to ASTM A-395, grade 65-45-15, is available upon special
request.
• Optional: Hot dipped galvanized
*Services listed are General Service Recommendations only. It should be noted that there are
services for which these gaskets are not recommended. Reference should always be made to
the latest Victaulic Gasket Selection Guide for specific gasket service recommendations and for a
listing of services which are not recommended.
Bolts/Nuts: Heat-treated plated carbon steel, trackhead meeting the physical and chemical
requirements of ASTM A-449 and physical requirements of ASTM A-183.

FLOW DATA Flow test data has shown that the total head loss between point (1) and (2) for the Style 920, 900N
and 929 Mechanical-T® fittings can best be expressed in terms of the pressure difference across the
inlet and branch. The pressure difference can be obtained from the relationship below.
