Double Socket Tee with Flanged Branch

Description

The Double Socket Tee with a Flanged Branch is a hybrid pipeline fitting designed for maximum versatility. It features two socket (push-fit) ends for quick integration into existing ductile iron, PVC, or steel pipeline runs, while the 90-degree branch is flanged. This design allows for the direct installation of flanged equipment—such as Gate Valves, Air Release Valves, or Flow Meters—without the need for extra adaptors or transition fittings.

Technical Specifications
