Stainless Steel Reducing Tee

The Reducing Tee is a stainless steel fitting designed to connect three pipesโ€”two of the same size and one of a smaller diameterโ€”allowing for a smooth transition in flow direction and volume. Ideal for contractors working on fluid or gas systems, this press-fit tee simplifies branching off a main line to a reduced-size outlet. Installation is fast and flameless: insert each pipe into the fitting and press to seal. Made from corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel, itโ€™s suitable for demanding environments and a wide range of applications including water, steam, air, and chemical systems.

Key Advantages

  • Proven Technology: Simple and robust connection design ensures dependable system performance.
  • Fast, Flameless Installation: AP Stainless technology reduces installation and repair time by over 50%, eliminating the need for welding or threading.
  • Vibration Absorption: Elastomeric connections accommodate vibration, expansion, and contraction for enhanced system stability.
  • Corrosion Resistance: Chromium dioxide layer provides excellent protection in corrosive environments.
  • Fluid Integrity: No risk of contamination to conveyed fluids.
  • UV Resistant: No degradation from UV exposure.
  • Thermal Stability: Low expansion factor of 16 maintains dimensional consistency under temperature fluctuations.
