A plain end equal tee is a T-shaped fitting used to split or combine fluid flow in a sanitary piping system. "Equal" means all three openings have the same diameter. Designed for permanent butt-weld installation, it provides a seamless, crevice-free connection that prevents bacterial buildup.
Construction: Usually 316L or 304 stainless steel.
Finish: Smooth internal bore (Ra < 0.8μm) for CIP efficiency.
Usage: Essential for distribution loops in pharma and food plants.
