HDPE Butt Fusion Reducer Tee

The main function of HDPE Butt Fusion Reducer Tee is to connect pipes of different diameters to achieve a change in the direction of the fluid.

HDPE Butt Fusion Reducer Tee, also know as HDPE tee reducer, is another type of pipe tee used in HDPE pipeline.
Butt Fusion Reducer Tee, like all pipe tees, is in the shape of T with two ends of equal size and the third one slightly smaller. In other words, reducing tee is a type of pipe fitting in which the branch port size is smaller than the ports of the run. This type of pipe fitting can also consider size reduction from one of the run ports to the other.

Function

HDPE Reducer Tee is a type of HDPE Butt Fusion Fittings, which is characterized by the ability to connect pipes of different diameters, which is very useful in piping systems because it allows the fluid to branch from one pipe to another pipe of different diameters. This connection method is particularly suitable for applications where the direction of fluid flow needs to be changed or the fluid needs to be distributed. This feature of Reducer Tee makes it widely used in a variety of engineering fields, including but not limited to petrochemicals, oil and gas, liquefied gas, fertilizers, power plants, nuclear power, shipbuilding, papermaking, pharmaceuticals, food hygiene, and urban construction.

Material properties

The main material of HDPE Reducer Tee is polyethylene (PE), which is a basic plastic that is widely used in the field of water supply and drainage manufacturing due to its high strength, high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, non-toxicity, and wear resistance. Compared with steel pipes, PE pipes have simple construction technology, have a certain flexibility, and do not require anti-corrosion treatment, thus saving a lot of processes.‌‌‌
