Hi!
I am designing a piping system. how can I draw a hollow circular section 3D Tee, with fillets, such as in the stetch below?
I am using Solidworks 2018.

Thanks in advance,
Best regards,

Hi,
just sketch a circle on the front plane and make an extrusion. Same on the right plane but this time extrude in both direction. Then you add the fillet on the sharp edge. At least you will use the shell feature to make it hollow. Add all 3 round faces to the list box of faces to extrude. Done.
If you want to use this tee later with the routing add in, than you have to create all 3 arms separately.

Hugo,

Are you going to use it in the Routing add-in or not?

As Heiko indicated, it makes a difference how you set it up depending if it's just a part or if it has to be a routing library item.

I am designing a piping system
Hello,
1. What type(s) of pipe are you using?
  What materials?
2. What type of pipe connections/joints are you using?
3. How accurate (to the actual pipes) do you intended your pipe fittings to be?
4. How accurate (to actual pipes) do you intended your pipes to assemble (stack
5. Is this a modelling exercise in creating pipe fittings? Or are you building out a piping system?
  If it's a system, get the models already modelled (McMaster) and build out.
6. What other components are required?
7. How is everything mounted?
Kevin

Hugo Silva - Apparently you've had very little training or have watched no tutorials.. Is this a "School Project"?
