ASME B16.11 | Forged Threaded / Screwed Equal Tees | Class 2000–6000 | NPS 1/8–4
Elite provides high-quality Forged Threaded / Screwed Equal Tees for industrial piping, process systems, oil & gas, petrochemical, chemical processing, power generation and general engineering applications. Manufactured using controlled forging and precision machining processes, these fittings are designed for reliable dimensional accuracy, material integrity and long-term service performance.
Threaded / Screwed Equal Tees are used to divide or combine flow between three piping connections of the same nominal size. The equal configuration provides the same size connection on the run and branch. Elite can supply standard and project-specific configurations in carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, duplex, super duplex, copper-nickel and nickel alloys.
