A swing-away hopper tee assembly for attachment at the discharge end of a hopper. The hopper tee assembly has a mounting frame for attachment at the discharge opening of the hopper. The mounting frame associates with alignment pins on a bottom side for alignment of a valve housing. The valve housing is positioned below the mounting frame and receives the alignment pins. The valve housing cooperates with alignment pins of the hopper tee. The hopper tee is pivotally attached to the mounting frame by a pair of adjustable pivot arms and extends below the valve housing. The hopper tee has a camming handle and hook assembly on the front side. The hooks extend upward and engage slots on the mounting frame. The camming handle can be locked into place securing the hooks in the mounting frame and effectively securing the valve housing between the hopper tee and mounting frame. The handle can be rotated over the center to lift the hooks away from the mounting frame and allow the hopper tee to swing away from the valve housing. The valve housing then can be removed and the assembly effectively cleaned.
