Whirlpool 69029109149 Forged Steel Sw Tee 1/4 in 3000lb

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL 69029109149 is a forged steel socket weld tee rated for 3000-pound pressure class service. This pipe fitting connects three sections of pipe at a 90-degree branch point and is manufactured to ASTM A105 carbon steel specification. The socket weld end configuration allows the pipe to be inserted into the fitting bore before welding, producing a strong, leak-resistant joint suited for high-pressure piping systems. Sized at 1/4 inch, this tee is typically installed by licensed pipefitters or plumbers working on high-pressure process or utility piping where a reliable branch connection is required.

This fitting is intended for use in high-pressure piping systems where a branch outlet is needed at 1/4 inch nominal pipe size. The 3000-pound pressure class rating makes it appropriate for steam, hydraulic, compressed air, oil, and similar fluid service applications found in industrial, commercial, and mechanical utility installations. The A105 carbon steel material is compatible with a wide range of process fluids and operating temperatures common in these environments.

Key Features

• ASTM A105 forged carbon steel construction for high-pressure service
• 3000-pound pressure class rating suitable for demanding piping applications
• Socket weld end connections for strong, full-penetration weld joints
• 1/4 inch nominal pipe size for compact branch connections
• Equal tee configuration provides a straight run with a 90-degree branch outlet

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fitting for 1/4 inch nominal socket weld piping systems rated to 3000-pound pressure class per ASTM A105 forged carbon steel standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or licensed plumber in accordance with applicable ASME and local mechanical codes. De-pressurize and isolate the piping system completely before beginning any fitting work. Socket weld fittings require a gap between pipe end and fitting socket bottom prior to welding to allow for thermal expansion during the weld process. All welding should be performed by a certified welder following applicable code requirements.
