Pros & Cons of Socket Tee

Socket Tees are the perfect choice for reliable and secure connections in piping systems, guaranteeing smooth fluid and gas flow. Their durable and robust nature makes them ideal for high-pressure and high-temperature applications. With socket ends that simplify installation, there’s reduced need for additional fittings or welding, making them versatile for use in various industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and water treatment.

On the downside, Socket Tees may require more space than other fittings, which can pose challenges in compact installations. They may also introduce increased flow resistance due to the three-way connection, potentially affecting flow efficiency. Careful material selection is crucial to ensure compatibility with the transported fluids and environmental conditions.
