Sized at 2 x 1-1\/4 inches with a Schedule 10 wall, this fitting provides a branch outlet reduction off the run line without requiring threaded or socket connections. The 316L material grade offers low carbon content for improved weld corrosion resistance, making it well suited for high-purity, corrosive, or sanitary fluid handling applications. Licensed pipefitters and plumbers install this fitting in process piping, mechanical rooms, and utility lines where clean, full-penetration welds are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reducing tee is appropriate for Schedule 10 stainless steel pipe systems in both residential and light commercial mechanical applications, as well as in food service, chemical, and marine environments where 316L stainless is specified for its enhanced resistance to chloride corrosion. The butt weld end connection on all three outlets ensures a smooth interior bore with no crevices, supporting hygienic and high-flow service conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e316L stainless steel construction provides low-carbon weld corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eButt weld end connections on all outlets for full-penetration, crevice-free joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 10 wall thickness compatible with standard Schedule 10 stainless pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2 x 1-1\/4 inch reducing configuration allows branch line size reduction off the run\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSmooth interior bore supports hygienic and high-flow fluid handling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for Schedule 10 stainless steel butt weld piping systems requiring a 2 x 1-1\/4 inch reducing tee configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a licensed pipefitter or qualified welder with experience in TIG or orbital welding of stainless steel pipe. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before cutting in the fitting. Follow applicable IPC or ASME B31.3 process piping codes for weld procedure, inspection, and purge gas requirements when welding 316L stainless. Do not use carbon steel tools on stainless fittings, as cross-contamination can lead to surface corrosion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Reducing Tee\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 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: 0.78 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: 01606-3220\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51544463573298,"sku":"01606-3220","price":377.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e0654bba2e4b280b4351f9b9abdc6958_ae7ad3a6-6749-48f6-be46-385f21d4952e.jpg?v=1785927207","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-01606-3220-reducing-tee-2x1-1-4-316l-butt-weld","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
