Tee Design
A tee fitting creates a 90-degree branch from the main piping run, allowing flow to be divided, combined, or redirected through the branch connection.
This configuration is commonly used where a secondary piping line must connect into a main threaded stainless steel piping system.
MSS SP-114 Heavy Pattern
These fittings are identified as MSS SP-114 pattern fittings. The heavy-pattern configuration provides a robust fitting body for threaded stainless steel piping applications.
Use the manufacturer dimensional document below to confirm the exact dimensions for the selected size before ordering or installation.
304 vs. 316 Stainless Steel
304 Stainless Steel
- General-purpose stainless steel grade
- Strong corrosion resistance for many applications
- Commonly used in water and process piping
- Suitable for many commercial and industrial environments
316 Stainless Steel
- Enhanced corrosion resistance
- Commonly selected for more aggressive environments
- Useful in many chemical and process applications
- Often selected for marine or chloride-exposed service
Stainless Steel Construction
The stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance while helping reduce contamination associated with rust, scale, and small particles that can occur with some other metallic piping materials.
The supplied product information states that the material resists corrosive attack from hundreds of industrial and chemical solutions and mixtures and provides greater strength at elevated temperatures.
NSF/ANSI 61 Low Lead Certification
This fitting is listed as low lead certified to NSF/ANSI 61, supporting use in compatible potable-water applications where applicable system and code requirements are met.
Always confirm the requirements for the complete piping system, local codes, operating conditions, and media compatibility before installation.
Common Applications
Commercial & General Piping
- Water piping systems
- Commercial plumbing
- General process piping
- Branch piping connections
- Threaded stainless steel piping assemblies
Industrial & Corrosive Service
- Industrial process piping
- Chemical handling systems
- Corrosion-resistant piping applications
- Elevated-temperature service where compatible
- Applications where rust and scale contamination are undesirable
