Lateral Tee

Steel Lateral Tee Manufacturer, ASME B16.9 Butt weld Lateral Tee Supplier, ASME B16.11 Socket Weld Lateral Tee & Threaded Lateral Tee Exporter, MSS-SP97 Latrolet Branch Fittings Manufacturer. Our lateral tee pipe fittings are available in all sizes and schedules.

1. What is a Lateral Tee?

A Lateral Tee is one tee pipe fittings, which is similar to a tee but has a side opening outlet branch at a 45 degree angle. It is designed to provide 45 degree or other degrees branches for the main pipe. Its connection type could be butt weld, socket weld, and threaded.

2. Steel Lateral Tee Types

Like we said above, Lateral Tee connection type could be butt weld, socket weld, and threaded. And accordingly, butt weld lateral tee is manufactured based on ASME B16.9, while the socket weld lateral tee and threaded lateral tee are confirmed to ASME B16.11. To summarize, It is a special type of pipe tee.

2.1 Butt Weld Lateral Tee

Lateral tee typically provides sleek flow ways and there’s no turbulence or entrapment.
Used for waste, installation.
Used for drain pipe, water, gas, oil, etc.
Lateral tees are accustomed to offering high integrity mechanical connections in various pumps applications.
Used for positive pressure, and vacuum applications.
Used in radical high purity systems.

Butt Weld Lateral Tee Dimensions

2.2 Socket Weld Lateral Tee

Forged Socket Weld Fittings 45 degree Lateral Tee standards according to ASME B16.11 / BS3799. It is designed for wide use in different industries like oil refineries, chemical processing, petrochemical and many other industries.

Socket Weld Lateral Tee Dimensions

Size: 1/8″~4″

4. Latrolet- another Lateral Fitting

We can manufacture two lateral pipe fittings, which contain lateral tee and latrolet (also called Lateral Outlet). The latrolet standard is MSS-SP97, the same as the other branch fittings. Its connection end can also be butt weld, socket weld, and threaded.
