ABSTRACT:
A T-fitting such as for use inside a containment box for connecting a primary pipeline to a gasoline dispenser has two flanges which connect to the pipeline and a main T-element sealed to each flange by a sealing element such as a gasket. The flanges thread onto each end of the primary pipeline. The main T-element has a stem which is threaded to a pipe leading to a gasoline dispenser. The flanges of the T-element are bolted to the main body of the T-element with the rubber gasket in between to seal the primary pipeline to the T-element. A method for installing a secondary containment system using the T-fitting includes the steps of fastening the stem of the T to the pipe leading to the gasoline dispenser, fastening the flanges of the T-fitting to primary pipeline segments, and fastening the flanges to the main body of the T element.
