What is an ASME B16.9 Y-shape tee?
ASME B16.9 is the standard for factory-made butt-weld pipe fittings, covering a variety of fittings such as elbows, tees, reducers, and caps. Among these, the Y-Shape tee stands out due to its unique shape and functionality within pipeline systems.
What is an ASME B16.9 Y-Shape Tee?
An ASME B16.9 Y-shape tee is a pipe fitting designed in the shape of the letter “Y”. It is used to connect three sections of a pipeline at an angle, typically where there is a need to branch the flow of fluids or gases. Unlike a traditional T-shape tee, which branches at a 90-degree angle, the Y-shape tee can come in various angles, such as 45°, 120°, or custom angles based on the specific needs of the system.

Flexibility and Customization
One of the key advantages of the ASME B16.9 Y-shape tee is the ability to customize the angle and size to meet specific requirements. Unlike standard tees with fixed angles, the Y-shape tee can be designed with a variety of branch angles and pipe sizes to suit the unique needs of a particular project.
At Haihao Group, we support the custom manufacturing of Y-shape tees. For example, we recently produced 45° and 120° Y-shape tees for our clients to meet their needs. This flexibility enables us to serve industries with highly specific requirements, such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and water treatment. Email:sales@haihaogroup.com
