Stainless Steel 304 Lateral Tee Pipe Fittings

Stainless Steel 304 Lateral Tee Pipe Fittings are composed of an alloy of iron and chromium with a minimum content of 18% Chromium and 8% Nickel. It is also known as 18/8 stainless steel due to its composition. Adding nickel lends it specific properties like corrosion resistance, anti-corrosive properties, durability and tensile strength. Further, these pipe fittings include molybdenum which makes them highly resistant to chloride ion stress corrosion cracking, sulfide stress corrosion, and crevice corrosion in the most severe environments. This is why Stainless Steel 304 Lateral Tee Pipe Fittings are commonly used in the Marine industry and other coastal region applications where seawater can corrode metals quickly.

Stainless Steel 304 Lateral Tee Pipe Fittings are incredibly versatile and robust. They are typically used in a piping system to provide a branch route between two intersecting pipes. The ‘lateral’ in their name refers to the specific shape of the pipe fitting - it is bent at 90 degrees with three openings. Because they are constructed from stainless steel, they possess several advantages over other fittings. In addition to being highly corrosion-resistant and durable, these pipe fittings are also lightweight, which makes installation much more accessible than with heavier materials like brass or copper. Because Stainless Steel 304 Lateral Tee Pipe Fittings are so solid and adaptable, they can be used for various projects ranging from HVAC applications to food production and irrigation systems.
