Socket Weld Tee Configuration
Straight-Through Run
Two opposing socket weld openings form the primary straight-through piping path.
90° Branch
The third socket weld opening creates a perpendicular branch connection from the main run.
Three Welded Connections
All three openings accept compatible pipe for permanent welded assembly.
Construction Details
These 6000# socket weld tees are manufactured from normalized ASME SA105N forged carbon steel for demanding piping applications requiring strength, durability, and dimensional consistency.
Forged steel fitting dimensions conform to ASME B16.11. The three socket weld openings are designed to accept compatible pipe ends and form strong welded joints when installed using applicable fabrication procedures.
