What is a reducing tee?

 

Reducing tee is another type of pipe tee used in pipe and tube fittings. Pipe Tees are available two popular forms—have all outlets of the same size or they can be reducing tees in which they are with a combination of different outlet sizes.

 

Reducing 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.

​

For different applications in various industries, the reducing tees are        available in many various combinations of sizes and configurations.        Apart from the standard sizes, other unusual combinations of size can        also be attained using component parts of tees, reducing tee and        reducers.
