Pipe tee fitting is a fitting that has a T shape. It has two outlets at an angle of 90° each and one main connection line. It is a pipe that has adjacent outlets and used to connect pipes at 90° angle. Pipe tee fittings are used for commercial as well as industrial applications. They are available in several different sizes. Tee fitting is made from materials including carbon steel, iron, aluminum, plastic, stainless steel, copper, brass, and rubber. There are different types of pipe tee fittings such as straight tee, female and male branch tee, male and female-run tee, reducing tee and wye tee. Socket welding (SW) is used for welding pipes and fittings including reducers, tees and elbows. Socket weld pipe fittings are used to permanently join pipes that are inserted into a recess in the fitting, flange or valve. Once correctly inserted, fillet type sealing welds are applied to join the pipe to the fitting. These fittings are commonly known as SW pipe fittings, with SW couplings, SW elbows and SW tees being examples of different types. Socket welds can be used to change the direction of travel for pipe networks as well as join pipes at different angles and of different diameters. The high leakage integrity and structural strength of socket welds allow them to be used for a range of piping network applications. For other types of IBR Certified Fittings, click here.
