Product Types

⤴

45° Lateral

A tee variant where the branch exits at 45° to the run pipe instead of 90°. Reduces turbulence and pressure drop at the branch connection — preferred for flow-splitting applications where hydraulic efficiency matters.

✓ ASME B16.9
✓ Equal and reducing branch
✓ Lower pressure drop than 90° tee
✓ Used in manifolds and header systems

✛

Equal Cross

Four outlets in the same bore — two opposing run outlets and two opposing branch outlets at 90° to the run. Used in fire suppression systems, irrigation headers and where four-way flow distribution is needed.

✓ ASME B16.9
✓ All four outlets same NPS
Note: high stress concentration — verify by FEA for pressure service

✛↓

Reducing Cross

Cross with branch outlets smaller than the run outlets. Designated Run × Branch (e.g. 6" × 4"). Used for four-way distribution where sub-headers are smaller bore than the main run.
