Butt 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 body provides a compact transition from the run pipe to the branch connection.
Butt Weld Branch
The branch end is configured for butt welding to compatible branch piping.
Construction Details
These 3000# butt 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 configuration provides a dedicated butt weld branch from a larger run pipe, allowing a compact branch connection without installing a full inline tee.
Why Choose a Forged Steel Butt Weld Outlet?
Compact Branch Connection
- Creates a branch directly from a larger run pipe
- Butt weld branch connection
- Compact alternative to a full inline tee
- Useful in fabricated piping assemblies
- Designed for compatible high-pressure piping 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
Butt Weld Outlet vs. Socket Weld Outlet
Butt Weld Outlet
A butt weld outlet provides a branch end designed to be welded directly to compatible branch pipe using a butt weld joint.
Socket Weld Outlet
A socket weld outlet provides a machined socket that accepts the branch pipe before welding.
Typical Applications

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 3000# forged steel butt weld outlet?
It is a forged steel branch fitting designed to create a butt weld branch connection from a larger run pipe.
What is a Butt Weld-O-Let?
Butt Weld-O-Let is a commonly used industry term for a branch outlet fitting that provides a butt weld branch connection from a run pipe.
What type of branch connection does this outlet provide?
The branch end is configured for a butt weld connection.
How is a butt weld outlet different from a socket weld outlet?
A butt weld outlet connects directly to the branch pipe with a butt weld joint, while a socket weld outlet accepts the branch pipe into a machined socket before welding.
