Equal Tee is a key pipe fitting used for splitting or merging flow in piping systems. The three outlets all have exactly the same bore diameter. When the medium enters from one path, it is evenly distributed to the other two paths, or two paths merge into one. The product is manufactured using mainstream processes such as hot-pressed seamless push forming, hydraulic bulging, forging forming, and rolled-and-welded construction. The internal flow passage transitions smoothly, fluid resistance is low, stress distribution is uniform, and the risk of turbulent impact and local stress concentration is effectively reduced. Materials cover carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, duplex steel, etc., and derivative functions such as wear-resistant lining, thermal insulation lining, and anti-corrosion plastic lining are supported. The bore diameter range is DN15-DN2000. Connection types include butt welding, socket welding, threaded, flanged, and grooved. The product strictly complies with standards such as GB/T12459, GB/T13401, ASME B16.9, and SH/T3408, and is widely used in industrial and civil pipelines such as municipal heating, petrochemical, power plants, HVAC and fire protection, metallurgy and mining. It is the standard preferred fitting for evenly distributing medium flow in pipe networks and laying out parallel pipelines.
Product Overview
An equal tee is a basic pipe fitting used in piping systems to achieve flow splitting and merging. The three pipe openings have exactly the same bore diameter, ensuring uniform distribution of the medium. The product is manufactured using mainstream processes such as hot-pressed seamless push forming, hydraulic bulging, forging forming, and roll-formed welding. The internal flow passage transitions smoothly, resulting in low fluid resistance and uniform stress distribution, effectively reducing the risk of turbulent impact and local stress concentration. Materials cover carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, duplex steel, and more, and derivative functions such as wear resistance, thermal insulation, and anti-corrosion plastic lining are supported. The bore diameter range is DN15-DN2000, with various connection types, strictly complying with standards such as GB/T12459, GB/T13401, ASME B16.9, and SH/T3408. It is widely used in industrial and civil pipelines including municipal heating, petrochemical, power plants, HVAC and fire protection, and metallurgy and mining.

FAQ
What is the difference between an equal tee and a reducing tee?
The three pipe openings of an equal tee have exactly the same bore diameter, suitable for occasions where the branch pipe sizes are consistent during splitting or merging. A reducing tee, on the other hand, has one or two openings with different diameters, used to connect pipes of different sizes. The selection should be determined based on the actual piping design.
What are the connection methods for equal tee?
We provide multiple connection methods such as butt welding (BW), socket welding (SW), threaded (TH), flanged (FL), and grooved (clamp) connections. The specific choice can be made based on the piping system and installation conditions.
Can equal tee be customized?
Yes. We support full-dimension customization including size, wall thickness, material, function, and testing, to meet special working conditions and old pipeline replacement needs. You are welcome to provide detailed parameters, and we will assist in confirming the configuration.
What is the minimum order quantity for equal tee?
Regular specifications can be shipped as single pieces. High-pressure special types and large-diameter non-standard products support customization, suitable for small-quantity purchases, engineering supporting, and foreign trade complete-set projects.
