Designed for Reduced Branch Connections
A reducing tee allows a piping system to create a branch connection with an outlet size smaller than the main run. This configuration is useful where a smaller branch line must be connected directly into a larger piping system.
The socket weld ends are designed for welded piping systems where a strong, permanent connection is required.
