Define the run
Specify the run outside diameter and wall thickness or Schedule; identify any differences between the two run ends.
LEKE PIPING / PRODUCTS
Equal & Reducing Pipe Tees
Equal and reducing tees form branch connections. Specify run and branch sizes, with the wall thickness at each end.
PRODUCT DETAILS
Specify the connection completely.
We can also make custom sizes, wall thicknesses and other dimensions to your drawing. Send the pipe-end requirements and your drawing with your RFQ so we can confirm the details.
| Parameter | Details to confirm |
|---|---|
| Type | Equal tee or reducing tee |
| Run | Main run outside diameter, wall thickness or Schedule, and end preparation |
| Branch | Branch outside diameter, wall thickness or Schedule, and end preparation |
| Reference | Applicable fitting standard and material specification |
Product dimensions, material grades and documentation are confirmed against your enquiry and applicable project requirements.
Primary dimensional reference: ASME B16.9 (overall scope NPS 1/2–48; check the tee table). Confirm the product type, edition and applicable size before order.

SELECTION & ENQUIRY
The details that make the difference.
Define the branch
Specify the branch outside diameter, wall thickness or Schedule, and end preparation separately from the run.
Confirm material and documents
List equal or reducing tee, material grade, standard and edition, item quantity, and inspection requirements.
TECHNICAL REFERENCES
Check dimensions before your RFQ.
ASME B16.9 — Tee Dimensions
Butt-weld fitting dimensions and geometry
Check the applicable ASME B16.9 tee table, edition, units and size range. For non-standard geometry, provide a dimensioned drawing and revision for review.
Equal & Reducing Pipe Tees — weight estimate
Use the existing calculator for preliminary estimates. Confirm the final dimensions, material and actual product weight separately.

Product overview
Build a branch connection into the pipe run.
Pipe tees create a branch from a butt-welded pipe line. An equal tee uses the same nominal size for the run and branch; a reducing tee uses a different branch size to match the piping requirement.
Before quotation, provide the run and branch sizes, schedule or wall thickness, material, standard, quantity, destination and any drawings or documentation requirements.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you send the enquiry.
How do I describe a reducing tee?
List the run and branch sizes clearly, together with the corresponding wall thickness requirements. Attach a drawing when dimensions or ends differ from the standard arrangement.
How should tees be listed in a mixed material enquiry?
Use a separate line for each tee type, size and material combination. Include an item reference, end sizes, wall requirements and quantity so that similar-looking components remain identifiable.
Which dimensions matter for installation?
Confirm the run and branch centre-to-end dimensions and the end connections against the piping drawing. These determine how the tee fits into the assembly.
Can the branch and run have different wall requirements?
State the required wall or schedule at each end and provide the applicable specification. Any differing requirements need review against the proposed product.
What should a tee RFQ contain?
Include run and branch sizes, material, wall requirements, connection type, quantity and the governing specification. Add drawings and inspection requirements where applicable.
