90° Branch Connection
A butt weld tee creates a 90° branch from the main piping run, allowing flow to be divided, combined, or redirected within a compatible stainless steel piping system.
The welded configuration provides a permanent connection and eliminates threaded joints at the branch fitting.
Butt Weld Construction
Precision-formed butt weld ends support accurate fit-up with compatible stainless steel pipe before welding. Proper installation creates a continuous welded connection between the tee and adjoining pipe.
Confirm pipe size, wall thickness, material requirements, branch configuration, and welding procedure before fabrication or installation.
Schedule 10 vs. Schedule 40
Schedule 10
- Lighter wall option for compatible piping systems
- Useful where lower wall thickness is appropriate
- Manufactured and tested to applicable ASTM and ASME requirements
- Confirm mating pipe schedule before ordering
Schedule 40
- Heavier wall than Schedule 10
- Suitable where greater wall thickness is required
- Manufactured and tested to applicable ASTM and ASME requirements
- Confirm mating pipe schedule before welding

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a butt weld tee?
A butt weld tee is a three-opening fitting used to create a 90° branch connection in a piping system.
What schedules are available?
The supplied product information lists Schedule 10 and Schedule 40 options.
What connection type is used?
These fittings use butt weld connections for permanent installation in compatible stainless steel piping systems.
What material standard applies to the raw material?
The raw stainless steel material conforms to ASTM A312.
What manufacturing and testing standards apply?
