Stainless Steel Tee
Branch fittings for industrial stainless lines, marked with size and grade and made to the standard your specification names.
Overview
What This Pump Does
Stainless steel butt weld tees for industrial process and utility pipework, supplied to ANSI, ASTM, DIN, JIS, BS, ISO, GB, SH and HG standards, with size and material marking on the fitting.
Like the elbows in this range they are welded into the line and are not polished for hygienic service. For food and pharmaceutical lines use the sanitary tee range.

Key Benefits
Branches That Match The Specification
Standards Based Dimensions
Made to the named piping standard, so the fitting matches the drawing and the pipe.
Marked Material And Size
Marking on the fitting lets the installer confirm grade before welding.
316 And 316L
Grades suited to corrosive service and to welding after installation.
Ordered With The Rest Of The Line
Elbows, tees, flanges and clamps quoted together as one line list.
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed
Process Branch Connections
Taking a branch from a main line in chemical or process service.
Utility Distribution
