Double Socket Tee with Reducing Flanged Branch

Description

The Double Socket Tee with a Reducing Flanged Branch is a specialized fitting that combines three critical functions: continuous main-line flow via two socket (push-fit) ends, and a side-branch connection that is both flanged and reduced in size. This fitting is the professional's choice for efficiently tapping into large transmission lines to install smaller auxiliary equipment, such as secondary control valves, instrumentation, or drainage points, without requiring a series of separate reducers and adaptors.

Technical Specifications

• Design Type: Hybrid Reducing Tee (Socket x Socket x Reduced Flanged Branch)

• Pressure Rating: PN10 / PN16

• Body Material: High-strength Ductile Iron (GGG40/50)

• Branch Flange: Reduced diameter; drilled to BS EN 1092-2 / ISO standards

• Sealing: EPDM/NBR rubber gasket on sockets; flanged branch requires standard gasket

• Coating: Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) interior/exterior for long-term corrosion protection

• Standards: Compatible with standard pipe ODs used in municipal and industrial utility networks

Key Applications

• Auxiliary Equipment: Ideal for mounting small-diameter flanged valves or flow transmitters onto large water mains.

• System Tapping: A space-efficient way to create a smaller service connection from a high-capacity line.

• Infrastructure Retrofitting: Perfect for site teams in Mesaieed and Ras Laffan who need to add instrumentation to existing, large-diameter piping networks.

• Versatile Maintenance: Allows for quick, compact integration of different pipe sizes and connection types in a single fitting.
