Description
Sanitary Weld End Reducing Tee
ASC / SCI Sanitary Weld End Reducing Tees provide a three-way branch connection with a reduced outlet for compatible sanitary stainless steel tubing systems. The SCI Sanitary Fittings & Tubing catalog identifies this product family as Figures S777RW4 & S777RW6 – Reducing Tee.
The reducing tee configuration maintains a straight-through main run while providing a smaller perpendicular branch connection, allowing a sanitary tubing system to create a branch and reduce size within one fitting.

Reducing Tee Configuration
A sanitary weld-end reducing tee provides three tubing connections while incorporating a smaller branch connection.
Two opposing weld ends form the straight-through main run, while the perpendicular branch provides the reduced-size outlet.
Confirm both the main-run size and the required branch size before selecting the fitting.
Main Run & Reduced Branch
Main Run
- Two opposing sanitary weld ends
- Forms the straight-through tubing path
- Maintains the primary system run
- Permanent weld-end connections
- Requires proper alignment before welding
Reduced Branch
- Perpendicular weld-end connection
- Smaller than the main-run connection
- Creates the reducing tee configuration
- Provides a branch and size transition in one fitting
- Must match the intended tubing layout
ASC / SCI Figure Identification
The SCI Sanitary Fittings & Tubing catalog identifies the Sanitary Weld End Reducing Tee as Figures S777RW4 & S777RW6.
S777RW4 identifies the 304 stainless steel family, while S777RW6 identifies the corresponding 316/L stainless steel family.
No size, individual item-number, dimensional, packing, or weight tables have been added to this page.
Construction Details
ASC / SCI sanitary reducing tees are designed for use with compatible stainless steel sanitary tubing systems.
ASC states that its sanitary tubing and fittings are produced to 3-A Sanitary Standards, with stainless steel sanitary tubing dimensions and materials conforming to ASTM A269/A270.
The fitting uses three weld-end connections to create a permanent sanitary branch connection and size transition.
304 & 316/L Stainless Steel
This product family is available in both 304 stainless steel and 316/L stainless steel configurations.
The 304 family uses the S777RW4 designation, while the corresponding 316/L family uses S777RW6.
Confirm the required stainless material grade for the piping system, process media, cleaning requirements, and sanitary application before ordering.
Sanitary Weld End Connections
The reducing 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 internal surface condition should be maintained according to the requirements of the sanitary installation.
Reducing Tee vs. Standard Tee
Reducing Tee – S777RW4 / S777RW6
- Three sanitary weld-end connections
- Straight-through main run
- Reduced perpendicular branch
- Creates branch and size transition together
- This GetPipe.com product
Standard Tee
- Also provides three tubing connections
- Does not use the same reduced-branch configuration
- Designed for a standard tee arrangement
- Separate sanitary fitting family
- Should not be substituted when a reduced branch is required
Reducing Tee vs. Reducer
Sanitary Reducing Tee
- Three-way fitting
- Maintains a straight-through main run
- Adds a reduced branch connection
- Sanitary weld ends
- Figures S777RW4 & S777RW6
Sanitary Reducer
- Two-way fitting
- Transitions between different tubing sizes
- No branch connection
- Separate concentric or eccentric configurations
- Different piping function
Weld End vs. Clamp End Reducing Tee
Weld End Reducing Tee
- Permanent welded connections
- No clamp joints at the fitting ends
- Requires sanitary welding procedures
- Integrated directly into the tubing system
- This GetPipe.com product
Clamp End Reducing Tee
- Uses sanitary clamp connections
- Designed for separable joints
- Requires compatible ferrules, gaskets, and clamps
- Different connection configuration
- Selected where removable access is required
3-A Sanitary Standards
ASC states that its sanitary tubing and fittings are produced to 3-A Sanitary Standards.
This fitting family is intended for sanitary tubing installations where material selection, fabrication practices, cleanability, and system configuration are important considerations.
Final compliance depends on the complete installed system and applicable project requirements.
ASTM A269/A270 Reference
ASC states that stainless steel sanitary tubing dimensions and materials conform to ASTM A269/A270.
These standards provide the tubing basis used with the sanitary fitting family.
Use the supplied SCI Sanitary Fittings & Tubing Catalog as the primary product-family reference for this listing.
Applications
The Sanitary Weld End Reducing Tee is intended for compatible stainless steel sanitary tubing systems requiring a three-way branch connection with a reduced outlet and 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 reducing tee rather than a standard equal-size tee.
- Verify whether the required fitting is the 304 or 316/L stainless steel version.
- Confirm both the main-run size and reduced branch size before ordering.
- 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 reducing-tee weld-end configuration, 304 or 316/L stainless material family, main-run and branch arrangement, and applicable sanitary fitting information before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of fitting is this?
This product is a sanitary stainless steel reducing tee with three weld-end connections.
What ASC / SCI figure identifies the 304 version?
The 304 stainless steel Sanitary Weld End Reducing Tee uses Figure S777RW4.
What figure identifies the 316/L version?
The corresponding 316/L stainless steel version uses Figure S777RW6.
What material grades are available in this family?
The SCI sanitary catalog identifies both 304 stainless steel and 316/L stainless steel versions.
How many connections does the reducing tee have?
The fitting has three sanitary weld-end tubing connections.
What makes this a reducing tee?
The perpendicular branch connection is smaller than the main-run connection, allowing the fitting to create a branch and size reduction in one component.
What connection style does this fitting use?
The fitting uses sanitary weld-end connections.
Is this a clamp-end reducing tee?
No. This product uses weld ends. Clamp-end reducing tees are a separate sanitary connection configuration.
How is this different from a standard tee?
A standard tee uses a standard branch arrangement, while a reducing tee incorporates a smaller branch connection.
How is a reducing tee different from a sanitary reducer?
A reducing tee has three connections and creates a branch. A sanitary reducer has two connections and only transitions between tubing sizes.
What sanitary standard does ASC identify?
ASC states that its sanitary tubing and fittings are produced to 3-A Sanitary Standards.
What tubing standards are referenced?
ASC states that stainless steel sanitary tubing dimensions and materials conform to ASTM A269/A270.
Are size and dimensional tables included on this page?
No. Size, individual part-number, weight, packing, and dimensional tables are not included unless specifically requested.
Which document should I use for product information?
Use the supplied SCI Sanitary Fittings & Tubing Catalog as the primary product-family reference.
What should I verify before installation?
Confirm the required stainless material grade, main-run and branch sizes, tubing compatibility, weld-end connections, sanitary fabrication requirements, and branch orientation.
