Reducer Pipe Fittings

What Are Tee Pipe Fittings?

Tee pipe fittings are critical components in piping systems that enable the splitting or combining of fluid or gas flow. Shaped like the letter “T,” these fittings have one inlet and two outlets or vice versa, facilitating smooth and efficient branching at 90° angles. Manufactured in various configurations, materials, and sizes, tee fittings are essential for maintaining flow efficiency and system integrity.

Key Types of Tee Pipe Fittings

Equal Tee

Equal Tee

  • Function: Connects three pipes of the same diameter, distributing flow evenly.
  • Applications:
    • Chemical plants for splitting corrosive fluid flows.
    • Oil refineries for distributing fuel or steam.
  • Advantages:
    • Ensures balanced flow distribution.
    • Ideal for high-capacity systems.
Eccentric Reducer

Reducing Tee

  • Function: Connects three pipes, with one outlet or inlet smaller than the others, allowing for diameter transitions in branching systems.
  • Applications:
    • Water treatment facilities for flow adjustments.
    • Power plants for integrating auxiliary systems.
  • Advantages:
    • Facilitates smooth diameter changes.
    • Minimizes turbulence and pressure drops.
Barred Tee

Barred Tee

  • Function: Prevents the entry of objects or pigs into specific branches, often used in piggable pipelines.
  • Applications:
    • Offshore oil and gas pipelines.
    • High-capacity transportation systems requiring cleaning mechanisms.
  • Advantages:
    • Enhances system safety and reliability.
    • Maintains flow integrity in critical applications
