Long Tee Configuration
A sanitary weld-end long tee provides three tubing connections within one fitting.
Two opposing weld ends form the straight-through main run, while the third weld end creates a perpendicular branch connection.
The long tee geometry provides extended straight sections compared with more compact sanitary tee configurations.
Main Run & Branch Connection
Main Run
- Two opposing sanitary weld ends
- Creates the straight-through tubing path
- Maintains the primary system run
- Permanent welded construction
- Requires proper tube alignment before welding
Branch Connection
- Third sanitary weld-end connection
- Branches perpendicular to the main run
- Creates the three-way tee configuration
- Requires proper branch alignment
- Must match the intended sanitary tubing layout

Construction Details
ASC / SCI sanitary long tees are designed for use in compatible stainless steel sanitary tubing systems.
The fitting uses three weld-end connections and a formed tee body to create a permanent branch connection within the tubing system.
The supplied SCI Sanitary Fittings & Tubing catalog should be used as the primary product-family reference for material options and product-specific configuration.
304 & 316/L Stainless Steel
This product family is available in both 304 stainless steel and 316/L stainless steel configurations.
The 304 version uses the S77L7W4 figure family, while the corresponding 316/L version uses S77L7W6. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
Confirm the required stainless material grade for the piping system, process media, cleaning requirements, and sanitary application before ordering.
Sanitary Weld End Connections
The long tee uses sanitary weld-end connections at all three openings.
The adjoining tubing and fitting ends are aligned and welded to create permanent connections within the sanitary piping system.
Proper tube preparation, alignment, welding, and finished surface condition should be maintained according to the requirements of the sanitary installation.

Sanitary Piping Applications
The Sanitary Weld End Long Tee is intended for compatible stainless steel sanitary tubing systems requiring a three-way branch connection with permanent weld-end joints.
Typical sanitary piping environments may include food and beverage, dairy, pharmaceutical, processing, and other hygienic tubing systems where compatible stainless materials and sanitary fabrication practices are required.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm that the piping layout requires a long tee configuration.
- Verify whether the required fitting is the 304 or 316/L stainless steel version.
- Confirm compatibility with all three adjoining sanitary tubing connections.
- Use appropriate sanitary tube preparation, alignment, welding, and finishing procedures.
- Review the supplied SCI Sanitary Fittings & Tubing Catalog for product-specific information.
Use the supplied SCI Sanitary Fittings & Tubing Catalog to confirm the long-tee weld-end configuration, 304 or 316/L stainless material family, and applicable sanitary fitting information before ordering.
