Selecting the Correct Tee
Select the tee according to the nominal pipe size required by the piping system. These fittings are manufactured from 316 stainless steel and use socket-weld connections at all three openings.
These are equal tees, meaning all three connections are the same nominal size. If the branch requires a different nominal size, select a reducing tee instead.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a socket weld tee used for?
A socket weld tee provides a three-way connection in a welded piping system, with a straight-through run and a 90-degree branch.
What material are these tees made from?
These tees are manufactured from 316 stainless steel.
What connections does this tee use?
These tees use socket-weld connections at all three openings.
Are all three openings the same size?
Yes. These are equal tees, so all three connections are the same nominal pipe size.
What pressure class are these fittings?
These stainless steel socket weld tees are 150 lb class fittings.
What sizes are available?
Available nominal pipe sizes are 1/2", 3/4", 1", 1-1/4", 1-1/2", and 2".
Is this a reducing tee?
No. These are equal tees. Select a reducing tee when the branch connection needs a different nominal size.
Is this fitting threaded?
No. These tees use socket-weld connections rather than NPT threaded connections.
