Threaded tee

A threaded tee is a three-opening forged fitting that creates a branch using threaded connections. The generic identity does not establish an equal or reducing branch, female or male opening arrangement, or thread standard. Unlike a threaded elbow, it introduces an additional branch point; unlike a socket-weld tee, its joints depend on thread engagement and sealing. Selection should define the size and arrangement of all three openings, branch direction and load, thread form, material, sealing method, and assembly access.
