All Socket Tee

FAQ

1. What is an All Socket Tee?

An All Socket Tee is a versatile and reliable pipe fitting used to connect three pipes at a single joint easily. It is T-shaped with three openings, each featuring a socket design, allowing three pipes to be connected. This type of fitting is widely used in piping systems that require reliable connections.

2. How does an All Socket Tee work?

It operates through a socket connection method. The ends of the three pipes are inserted into the corresponding sockets of the All Socket Tee, and a sealing gasket is typically used to seal the connection. The gasket is compressed within the socket, filling the tiny gaps between the pipe and the fitting, thereby forming a tight and secure connection. This ensures that fluids can flow in the piping system as designed, either splitting, merging, or changing direction, while preventing leaks.

3. What are the common specifications of All Socket Tees?

Common specifications are indicated by nominal diameter (DN), ranging from DN50 to DN2000 or even larger, depending on the manufacturer. Common sizes include DN80, DN100, DN150, DN200, etc., covering applications from small-diameter household pipes to large industrial and municipal engineering pipes. Different industries and projects select the appropriate size of All Socket Tee based on the actual flow and pressure requirements of the piping system.

4. What advantages does an All Socket Tee have over other types of tee fittings?

Easy installation: Compared to some tees that require welding or complex threaded connections, its socket design simplifies the installation process. No special tools or professional welding skills are needed, reducing installation difficulty and time costs.

Strong compatibility: It can connect with pipes of various materials, such as copper, brass, stainless steel, PVC, and PEX, making it suitable for different types of piping systems.

Good sealing performance: When used with a sealing gasket, it can effectively prevent leaks and maintain a good sealing effect under various pressure and temperature conditions, making it suitable for systems with high sealing requirements.

Adaptable to different working conditions: It comes in various materials, and the appropriate All Socket Tee can be selected based on the requirements of the fluid medium, pressure, and temperature. For example, ductile iron tees can be used in high-temperature and high-pressure industrial environments, while plastic ones are suitable for cold and hot water systems in civil buildings.
