It connects a 1-1\/2 inch run to a 1-1\/4 inch branch using butt weld end connections on all three outlets. The 316L alloy provides low-carbon corrosion resistance suited for demanding piping systems in chemical, food processing, marine, and industrial environments. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this fitting as part of welded stainless steel piping assemblies where threaded or press connections are not acceptable and weld integrity is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is used in Schedule 10 stainless steel piping systems where a reducing tee is needed to branch off at a smaller diameter. Typical applications include process piping, sanitary systems, HVAC hydronic loops, and light industrial fluid handling. The butt weld connection style requires a certified welder and proper fit-up for a code-compliant joint. It is sold individually and is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit installations where existing lines require a branch takeoff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e316L stainless steel construction for low-carbon, corrosion-resistant performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eButt weld end connections on all three outlets for full-penetration weld joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 10 wall thickness for lightweight stainless piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReducing configuration: 1-1\/2 inch run by 1-1\/4 inch branch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold as a single unit with no minimum order requirement above one piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style butt weld fitting for Schedule 10 stainless steel piping systems requiring a 1-1\/2 by 1-1\/4 inch reducing tee connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation must be performed by a qualified pipefitter or certified welder in accordance with applicable codes such as ASME B31.3 or B31.9 for process and building services piping. Shut down and depressurize the piping system completely before cutting into any existing line. Proper pipe preparation, alignment, and fit-up are required before welding to ensure a sound joint. Do not use this fitting with threaded or slip-on connection methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tee\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2 x 1-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 316L Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: Butt Weld x Butt Weld\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.68 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40175300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MERIT BRASS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 01606-2420\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539504103730,"sku":"01606-2420","price":453.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e0654bba2e4b280b4351f9b9abdc6958_09e2b117-4ca2-40b8-b418-18a0b8b9bb7f.jpg?v=1785842015","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-01606-2420-stainless-steel-pipe-tee-butt-weld-sch-10","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
