Sockolet MSS-SP 97
A Sockolet is mainly used for the reinforcing pipe fittings connected by the branch pipe. MSS-SP 97 is the key specification covering reinforced branch fittings. And the common types are Weldolet, Threadolet, Latrolet, Elbolet, Nipolet, Sweepolet, etc.
A Sockolet is similar to a Weldolet, with the difference that the branch pipe is connected to the run pipe, via the fitting, with a socket weld connection as per ASME B16.11. Manufactured in 3000#, 6000# and 9000# classes. It is safe and reliable, reduces the cost, simple construction, improves the medium flow channel, and series.

3. Sockolet vs Weldolet
- The end connection of the Sockolet is suitable for socket welding. The end of the Weldolet is designed for buttweld connections.
- Sockolet belongs to the “socket fittings” family and is available in classes 3000#, 6000#, and 9000#. Weldolet belongs to “buttweld fittings”, available in Thickness SCH STD, SCH XS, SCH 160 to SCH XXS.
- Sockolets are used for lower pressure applications, and smaller pipe diameters, but the expense is higher. Weldolets are Compatible with higher pressure and simple connection, cost lower.
