It provides a 3-inch run with a 1-1\/4-inch branch outlet, allowing a single fitting to redirect or split flow without additional reducers. The 316L low-carbon alloy delivers strong resistance to chloride corrosion and weld sensitization, making it a reliable choice in chemical processing, food service, marine, and industrial fluid handling applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial pipe mechanics install this fitting in both new construction and retrofit work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis reducing tee is suited for Schedule 10 stainless piping systems where a branch takeoff is required at a reduced diameter. Typical installations include process piping, sanitary lines, cooling water loops, and corrosive-fluid distribution systems. The butt weld end connections on all three outlets require socket or butt weld preparation and are joined by a qualified welder or certified pipefitter per applicable code requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e316L low-carbon stainless steel resists weld sensitization and chloride-induced corrosion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-inch run by 1-1\/4-inch branch reducing configuration eliminates need for separate reducer fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eButt weld end connections on all outlets for full-penetration, leak-tight joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchedule 10 wall thickness suits low- to moderate-pressure fluid systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUNSPSC Code 40175300 for procurement and catalog classification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 10 stainless steel butt weld piping systems with a 3-inch main run and 1-1\/4-inch branch outlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires isolation of the piping system and full depressurization before cutting or fitting work begins. Butt weld connections must be made by a qualified welder following applicable codes such as ASME B31.3 or ASME B31.1 for process and pressure piping. Proper fit-up, alignment, and purging with an inert backing gas are standard practice for stainless steel weld joints to prevent oxidation. Do not use open-flame or grinding methods that could introduce carbon contamination into the 316L base material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 3 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: 1.64 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40175300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 01606-4820\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540967981362,"sku":"01606-4820","price":1235.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e0654bba2e4b280b4351f9b9abdc6958_5018dd3a-1494-45f7-8198-cffd95ec4bf8.jpg?v=1785866686","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-01606-4820-316l-ss-reducing-tee-3x1-1-4-in-sch-10","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
