Merit Brass SWM606-20 Pipe Tee 1-1/4 in 316 Ss Socket Weld

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS SWM606-20 is a 1-1/4 inch socket weld pipe tee manufactured from 316 stainless steel. It connects three sections of pipe in a branch configuration using socket weld end connections on all three ports, providing a strong, leak-resistant joint suited for high-purity and corrosive service environments. Rated at 150 psi, this tee is appropriate for process piping, chemical lines, and industrial fluid systems where stainless steel construction is specified. Installation is handled by certified welders or licensed pipefitters working to applicable piping codes.

This socket weld tee is used in residential and commercial piping systems where a permanent, welded branch connection is required. Typical applications include chemical processing lines, food and beverage piping, marine installations, and other environments where corrosion resistance from 316 stainless steel is required. The socket weld design allows pipe ends to be inserted into the fitting socket before welding, making alignment straightforward in tight or congested runs.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in aggressive and high-purity service environments
• Socket weld end connections on all three ports for strong, permanent pipe joints
• 150 psi pressure rating suitable for low-to-medium pressure piping applications
• 1-1/4 inch fitting size covers a common branch pipe diameter in commercial and industrial systems
• Compact tee configuration supports straight-run and branch connections in a single fitting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-1/4 inch socket weld piping systems requiring 316 stainless steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or certified welder in accordance with applicable codes such as ASME B31.3 for process piping. Depressurize and drain the system completely before cutting into existing lines. Clean pipe ends and fitting sockets to remove debris, scale, and oils before fitting and welding. Do not exceed the rated pressure of 150 psi in the installed system.
