Product Information
Full details
This MK Inspection Tee is designed for electricians and DIYers needing to join three lengths of 25mm conduit, providing a convenient access point for wiring. Its primary benefit is simplifying complex conduit runs and allowing for easier inspection or modification of electrical pathways. A potential caveat is its specific 25mm size, meaning it is not universally compatible with all conduit diameters. Key features include its durable construction, 25mm diameter, white color for unobtrusive aesthetics, and tee configuration for three-way connections.

FAQs
What is the primary purpose of an inspection tee?
An inspection tee is used in conduit systems to join three lengths of conduit together, providing an opening for easier wire pulling, inspection, and access to the electrical system.
Is this tee suitable for all types of conduit?
This tee is specifically designed for 25mm conduit. Compatibility with the material (e.g., PVC, metal) should also be confirmed based on your conduit system's requirements.
Can I use this for outdoor electrical installations?
While durable, this tee is generally intended for indoor use. For outdoor applications, ensure the entire conduit system is rated for outdoor use and adequately protected from environmental factors.
How do I clean the inspection tee?
You can clean the tee with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
What does the 'tee' configuration mean?
The 'tee' configuration means the fitting has three openings – one straight through and one at a 90-degree angle – allowing you to connect three separate pieces of conduit together.
Does this product come with any warranty?
Please refer to the retailer or MK's official product documentation for specific warranty information, as it can vary by region and vendor.
Troubleshooting
Conduit does not fit snugly into the tee.
Ensure both the conduit and the tee socket are clean and free of debris. Verify that you are using 25mm conduit. If the conduit is slightly deformed, try to reshape it before insertion.
Joint feels loose after installation.
If using adhesive, ensure it was applied correctly and allowed to cure fully. For non-adhesive systems, check if any securing clips or methods are available for your conduit type and ensure they are properly engaged.
White finish is scratched or marked.
Minor scratches can sometimes be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, consider using a non-abrasive white plastic repair compound, if available and suitable for the material.
