This 6 in. Sweep Tee is made from 70/30 Copper Nickel with a Socket Weld connection. Single Sweep. 400 lb pressure rating.

A Sweep Tee is a type of pipe fitting used to create a branch connection with a gradual, "sweeping" curve in the flow pathway. These components contrast with standard tees that typically feature sharp corners. The sweeping nature of the component minimizes the disruptions inherent in redirecting fluid flow, which results in lower wear-and-tear and easier flow integration with main flow lines.

Socket weld pipe connections are used in high temperature and high-pressure environments. Socket weld pipe connections feature a smooth internal bore sized to match the outer diameter of the pipe. The pipe end is inserted into the socket and then fillet welded around the joint, forming a strong, leak-tight seal. Socket weld connections are popular in smaller sized fittings and are permanent.

70/30 Copper Nickel, often abbreviated to 70/30 CuNi, is a high-performance alloy comprised of 70% copper and 30% nickel. This high nickel content offers enhanced resistance to corrosion than other alloys- making it a critical material for producing marine and offshore systems components.
