Sanitary Butt-Weld Reducing Tee
The Sanitary Butt-Weld Reducing Tee is a permanently welded three-way pipe fitting designed to join or split process flow in permanent pipeline installation. All three ends are prepared for butt-welding directly to pipeline forming seamless leak-free joints. This configuration is preferred in high-pressure high-temperature or permanently installed systems. Manufactured from 304 or 316L stainless steel with polished internal bore it provides excellent mechanical integrity and full compliance with sanitary standards.
