TEE CONFIGURATIONS

Equal and Reducing Butt Weld Tees

Ferrobend supplies butt weld tees in standard and engineered configurations for creating reliable branch connections in industrial piping systems.

STANDARD CONFIGURATION

Equal Tee

An equal tee has the same nominal pipe size at the run and branch outlets. It is used where a branch connection of the same size as the main pipeline is required.

Same nominal size at all outlets
Butt weld connection
Suitable for branch piping
Standard and custom dimensions

REDUCING CONFIGURATION

Reducing Tee

A reducing tee has a smaller branch outlet than the main run. It is used where a branch connection is required without maintaining the same pipe size as the main line.

Reduced branch outlet
Multiple size combinations
Butt weld connection
Available to customer requirements

COMMON QUESTIONS

Before you specify a tee

What is the difference between equal and reducing tees?

An equal tee has the same nominal size at the run and branch connections. A reducing tee has a smaller branch connection than the run. Specify the required size at each connection.

Which dimensions should I include in my enquiry?

Provide the run and branch sizes, wall thicknesses or schedules, material grade and applicable standard. Include a drawing if the geometry or end preparation is non-standard.

Can the run and branch have different wall requirements?

State the wall thickness required at each end. Compatibility with the connected piping and the applicable fitting specification should be checked during technical review.

How do I choose a tee material?

Follow the approved project material specification and provide the exact grade designation. The service conditions and system design determine the required material.
