Designed for professional welding installation, this welded tee fitting delivers exceptional flow efficiency and structural permanence across demanding industrial and commercial misting systems worldwide.

Product Features

Robust Welded Design

Our welded T-connector utilizes a permanent fastening architecture:

Three-Side Butt Weld Connections: All three ports feature full-penetration welds for permanent, structural-grade bonds

Equal or Reducing Configuration: Standard equal tee or reducing tee options for various pipe sizes

Fixed Pipe Alignment: Once welded, provides rigid, non-adjustable pipe positioning

Vibration Resistance: Permanent welds eliminate movement under continuous system vibration

Premium Material Construction

The welded pipe tee fitting is manufactured from durable materials:

304/316L Stainless Steel: Maximum corrosion resistance for harsh outdoor and industrial environments

Carbon Steel with Coating: Cost-effective option with powder coat or galvanized finish

Certified Welding Quality: All welds meet AWS or equivalent structural welding standards

Versatile Configuration Options

Equal Tee: All three ports same diameter for consistent pipe runs

Reducing Tee: Different port sizes for system transitions (e.g., 10mm×10mm×8mm)

Lateral Tee: Branch port at 45° for gradual flow direction change

Custom Configurations: Can be fabricated to specific project requirements

Precision Fabrication

Tight Tolerance Manufacturing: Ensures consistent fit and alignment across all units

Installation Guidelines

Pre-Installation Preparation

Step	Action
1	Verify pipe alignment and support spacing before welding
2	Clean pipe ends and tee bores of debris, oil, rust, or moisture
3	Bevel pipe ends to 30°–37.5° for proper weld penetration
4	Ensure proper fit-up with 1–3mm gap between pipe and tee
5	Clamp or tack pipes in position before final welding

Installation Procedure

Position tee between pipe sections with proper alignment

Tack weld all three ports at 2–4 points around each circumference

Verify alignment and angles before proceeding with final welds

Complete root pass welds on all three ports

Clean root passes and inspect for penetration

Complete filler and cap passes as required for wall thickness

Allow welds to cool naturally (do not quench with water)

Inspect all welds for cracks, porosity, undercut, or incomplete penetration

Clean weld areas and apply corrosion protection if required (carbon steel)

Pressurize system and check for leaks
