HVAC Splitter TEE

[MikeM4OSU]

Looking for help with creating/finding a splitter tee for duct. If anyone has any information about this please post it here. I will start the process of learning how to make my own.

Thanks

Wouldn't the Reducing Bullhead Tee work for you (it is one of the OOTB fittings)?

It might if I could get it to work.

Yesterday, I crashed the software to the point that I had to unistall and reinstall today. There are so many different possiblilties with this part and I kept increasing the number in the limit search to find the part that I needed. The total listed for the reducing bullhead tee is 1,369,631,640. In any event my computer will not process that many parts, and I kept crashing everytime I selected any fitting. Any help or guidance would be much appreciated. I am a newbie at AutoCAD MEP.See attached drawing.

Thanks for all your help.

Oh wow, don't do it that way. Go over to the Part Filter Tab and select the sizes you want.

(see screenshot)

You can also just insert the tee and then change the size of it instead of trying to search for the exact size in the pull down.

It won't let me pick the sizes I need.

"Unable to create the desired partin the size needed: Part size validation failed"

what now

[buzz]

What size are you trying to pick?

I have a main 36"Wx22"H headed into the bullhead. Reduces to 14"Wx22"H elbow to the left and 28"Wx22"H to the right.

We call these splitter TEEs, this one is a 10-26 split.

Sorry to butt in, but is one of these something like you're looking for? (see screenshot)

If one of those is what you're looking for, I'll explain how to get them (2 and 3 use a custom part I made that I'll post), if not, would you mind posting a line drawing of what you're trying to create?

Strange,

Mine seems to work fine with those sizes...

Try setting the widths first, then set the height afterward.

Buzz, thanks for the help. I finally got the part to work. I had to switch the numbers around for the part builder to create the part and then when I dropped it into the location I needed it connected up. Strange that the part I wanted would not build in the order that I needed. I needed a part that had an incoming width of 36" (RW3) that splits (10-26) into left direction with outlet size of 14" (RW1) and to the right 28" (RW2). AutoCAD MEP would not build that part but it would build a flip version with (RW1) 28" and (RW2) 14". Anyway I appreciate your patience with me on this matter. I have learned alot trying to get this part to work.
