- High Strength and Durability
High Quality Socket Coupling We Can Supply
SSM manufactures Socket Tees, joint pipeline fittings used to create connections within a piping system in three directions. It features a primary and two side channels, forming a “T” shape. The Socket Tee has one or two socket ends where pipes can be inserted and connected through welding or other methods. The types of products we offer are as follows:
| Types | Socket Coupling, Socket Half-Coupling, Socket Reducing Coupling | |||
| NPS | 1/8 | 1/4 | 3/8 | 1/2 |
| 3/4 | 1 | 1 1/4 | 1 1/2 | |
| 2 | 2 1/2 | 3 | 4 | |
| Class Designation | 3000 | 6000 | 9000 | |
| Material | A105, A182, A350, B462, or B564. | |||
Different Types Coupling We Can Provide
Socket Coupling
Full socket couping is used to connect two pipes of the same diameter in small-diameter, high-pressure piping systems.
NPS: 1/8-4 Class:3000, 6000, 9000
Socket Half-Coupling
Half coupling has a socket end on one side and is typically welded or threaded to the pipe on the other side.
NPS: 1/8-4 Class:3000, 6000, 9000
Socket Reducing Coupling
Socket reducing coupling has a larger socket end and a smaller socket end, allowing the connection of pipes with varying sizes.
NPS: 1/8-4 Class:3000, 6000, 9000
The Materials of Socket Coupling We Can Provide
SSM’s socket coupling are manufactured from controllable raw materials with strict quality control. We commonly supply fittings made from the following materials:
Carbon Steel Socket Coupling
Socket couplings made from carbon steel are commonly used in applications where durability and resistance to mechanical stress are essential.

Pros & Cons of Socket Coupling
Socket couplings offer several advantages. These include reliable and leak-proof connections, ease of installation, and high strength and durability. Their simple design makes for quick and cost-effective installation, especially for small-diameter pipes. They are versatile and can be used in various industries such as oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, and water treatment, making them a practical choice for many applications.
However, socket couplings also have limitations. Due to their permanent attachment, they are generally suited only for small-diameter pipes and are not ideal for applications requiring frequent disassembly. Proper installation requires skilled labor. Without appropriate material selection or maintenance, they can be prone to corrosion. Additionally, they offer limited flexibility for pipe alignment adjustments once installed.
