Product Details
The Merit 316 SS Schedule 40 reducing tee measures 1-1/2x1-1/2x1/2 and features a butt-weld female connection. Butt welding is the preferred method for joining pipe connections, requiring fittings to have the same wall thickness and diameter as the pipes they join. Both pipe and fitting are beveled to allow the ends to butt together, forming a groove that holds the weld filler. This reducing tee is made from 316 stainless steel, offering corrosion resistance and durability. Schedule 40 indicates the wall thickness, ensuring compatibility and strength with corresponding Schedule 40 pipes. The kit includes the reducing tee fitting designed for welding, with dimensions suitable for 1-1/2 inch and 1/2 inch nominal pipe sizes. Butt weld fittings such as this provide advantages including lower cost, less maintenance, and greater strength compared to threaded joints. The product meets industry standards for butt-weld pipe fittings and is suitable for applications requiring reliable, leak-resistant connections. Warranty terms apply as specified by the manufacturer.
