Socket Weld Outlet Configuration
Run Pipe Attachment
The contoured base is designed to attach to a compatible larger run pipe as part of the branch connection assembly.
Forged Outlet Body
The forged steel body provides a compact transition from the main run pipe to the branch connection.
Socket Weld Branch
The branch opening accepts compatible pipe into the socket for welded installation.
Construction Details
These 3000# socket weld outlets are manufactured from normalized forged steel conforming to ASME SA105N. Forged steel fitting dimensions conform to ASME B16.11, while forged steel outlet fittings conform to MSS-SP-97.
The outlet design provides a dedicated socket weld branch connection from a larger run pipe, allowing a compact branch to be added without installing a full inline tee.
Why Choose a Forged Steel Socket Weld Outlet?
Compact Branch Connection
- Creates a branch directly from a larger run pipe
- Socket weld branch connection
- Compact alternative to a full inline tee
- Useful for equipment and process branch connections
- Designed for compatible 3000# socket weld systems
Forged Steel Construction
- Manufactured from forged steel
- Material conforms to ASME SA105N
- Normalized material condition
- Outlet fittings conform to MSS-SP-97
- Manufactured in an ISO-certified facility
Socket Weld Outlet vs. Threaded Outlet
Socket Weld Outlet
A socket weld outlet provides a machined socket for welding the branch pipe directly into the outlet fitting.
Threaded Outlet
A threaded outlet provides a female NPT connection for attaching a compatible male-threaded branch pipe or fitting.
