Description
Carbon Steel Weld Tee
Carbon Steel Weld Tees are designed to combine or divide flow through a 90-degree branch connection in welded piping systems. The equal-size tee configuration provides a straightforward three-way connection while maintaining strength and continuity throughout the piping assembly.
Manufactured from durable carbon steel, these butt weld tees provide a permanent welded connection for industrial, commercial, mechanical, structural, and process piping applications. Available in Standard, Extra Heavy, Schedule 160, and Double Extra Heavy options, they are ideal for systems requiring strength, weldability, and dependable dimensional accuracy.

Tee Configuration
Straight Run
Two opposing butt weld ends form the primary straight-through piping path.
90° Branch
The third outlet branches from the main run at a 90-degree angle for conventional three-way piping layouts.
Three-Way Flow
The fitting can be used to divide flow into a branch or combine compatible flow streams into the main piping run.
Construction Details
Carbon steel weld tees are designed for installation between compatible butt weld pipe and piping components. Welding the fitting into the system creates a permanent three-way connection without threaded or mechanical joints.
The equal tee configuration is commonly used where the branch and main run require the same nominal pipe size, providing a clean and efficient branch connection within the piping system.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a carbon steel weld tee?
A weld tee is a three-opening butt weld fitting that creates a 90-degree branch connection from the main piping run.
How is an equal tee different from a reducing tee?
An equal tee uses the same nominal pipe size across its connections, while a reducing tee incorporates a different-size branch outlet.
What type of connection does this fitting use?
This fitting uses butt weld connections and is welded to compatible carbon steel pipe or piping components.
What wall thickness options are available?
The supplied product information lists Standard, Extra Heavy, Schedule 160, and Double Extra Heavy options.
What material specification applies?
Seamless butt weld fittings conform to ASTM A/SA234 WPB through 24".
What dimensional standards apply?
The supplied information states that weld fitting dimensions conform to ASME/ANSI B16.9, B16.11, and B16.28 through 24", with fittings larger than 24" conforming to MSS-SP-48.
What is the maximum carbon content?
The supplied product information states that carbon content does not exceed 0.25% maximum.
Are Mill Test Reports available?
Yes. Mill Test Reports are available with every order according to the supplied product information.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm the required nominal pipe size, wall thickness, material requirements, and applicable piping-system specifications before ordering.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
