Product Overview
In industrial piping infrastructure, the Schedule Equal Tee is the primary component used to merge or divide flow streams. Unlike reducing tees, the equal tee maintains the same nominal pipe size (NPS) on both the run and the branch, ensuring consistent flow capacity and mechanical strength throughout the junction.
High-Pressure Structural Integrity
Our equal tees are designed for buttweld connections, providing the most secure and permanent joint possible in a piping system. The “T” geometry is precision-forged to handle the complex stresses and turbulence that occur at a 90-degree intersection. This makes them essential for high-pressure and high-temperature applications where system reliability is paramount.
Seamless Flow and Optimized Design
Fabricated with a smooth internal radius, our tees minimize friction and pressure drop at the branch point. Matching the internal diameter of your Schedule 10 (S10) or Schedule 40 (S40) piping, they ensure a seamless flow path. This is critical for preventing erosion and sediment buildup, particularly in systems transporting abrasive or high-velocity media.
Material Durability and Compliance
Constructed from high-grade AISI 304 or 316L Stainless Steel and compliant with ASTM A403 and ASME B16.9, these fittings offer exceptional resistance to oxidation and corrosion. The SS 316L variant is highly recommended for chemical processing and marine environments where resistance to chloride pitting and aggressive acids is required.
