With a 5 x 4 inch configuration, this tee provides a branch connection off a main run and is suited for applications where corrosion resistance and weld integrity are critical. The 316L grade offers low carbon content, reducing the risk of carbide precipitation during welding. Licensed pipefitters and industrial piping contractors are the primary installers of this fitting type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tee is appropriate for process piping, chemical handling, food and beverage, and similar applications where stainless steel butt weld fittings are specified. The Schedule 10 wall thickness suits moderate-pressure service in these environments. Its reducing geometry accommodates branch lines smaller than the main run, making it a common choice in process distribution headers and mechanical room manifold configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e316L stainless steel construction for excellent corrosion resistance and low-carbon weld performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eButt weld end connections on all three ports for full-penetration, permanent joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 10 wall thickness for moderate-pressure industrial service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReducing tee geometry: 5 inch run x 4 inch branch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUNSPSC Code 40175300 for procurement and catalog classification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style butt weld reducing tee for Schedule 10 stainless steel piping systems requiring 5 x 4 inch reducing connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a qualified pipefitter or welder certified for stainless steel butt weld procedures. Depressurize and drain the piping system fully before cutting into any existing line. Proper fit-up, purging, and weld procedures per applicable ASME or facility codes are required to maintain joint integrity and corrosion resistance in 316L stainless. Grinding or contaminating the weld zone with carbon steel tools can compromise corrosion performance.\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: 5 x 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: 5.44 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: 01606-8064\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542962962738,"sku":"01606-8064","price":1379.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e0654bba2e4b280b4351f9b9abdc6958_4888eff9-70d1-40c3-94a8-141ecdcc9c0a.jpg?v=1785912367","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-01606-8064-pipe-tee-5x4-in-butt-weld-sch-10-316l-ss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
