What is Pipe Tee?

The pipe tee is a kind of pipe fitting which connect with steel pipe through welding directly. Certainly, the pipe tees also called triplet or three way and “T” pieces can be applied to either combine or split a fluid flow. Most common tees are with the same inlet and outlet sizes, while reducing tees can be availed as well.

Types of Pipe Tee Fitting:

Pipe tee fitting has T-shaped with two outlets, at 90° to the connection to the main line. Please follow our descriptions to know more about pipe tees:

Features of Pipe Tees:

Pipe tees have three female openings in a T-shaped.
There are straight pipe tees which have the same size openings.
Reducing pipe tees have one opening of different size and two openings of the same size.
There are sanitary pipe tees which are used in waste lines. These kinds of pipe tees have a curved branch which is designed for a clean out plug. They are used to prevent obstruction of waste.
A compression pipe tee uses compression fittings on two or more ends.
A test pipe tee has a threaded opening. This opening is used in conjunction with a threaded plug for a clean-out opening on a drain pipe.
