Swagelok 316L-16TB7-3-16-12-065 Tubing Tee Fitting

Swagelok 316L-16TB7-3-16-12-065 Tubing Tee Fitting is a 316L stainless steel tube butt-weld tee that creates a three-way branch in welded tubing systems. The part uses two 1-inch tube ends and a 3/4-inch branch, all with butt-weld TB7 connections designed for permanent joints to contiguous tubing. Constructed from 316L stainless steel, the fitting offers corrosion resistance suitable for demanding chemical environments encountered in chemical processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and semiconductor processing. Because the connections are welded rather than threaded, the completed assembly presents a continuous bore with minimal leak paths when properly welded and cleaned. The tee is intended for use in high-purity fluid handling where welded construction is preferred, enabling a main 1-inch run to split to a 3/4-inch branch without introducing threaded interfaces into the flow. For installation, Swagelok recommends proper pipe/tube preparation, welding procedures, and inspection to ensure joint integrity. This specific part number denotes the exact combination of end sizes and material: two 1-inch ends and a 3/4-inch branch in 316L stainless steel, suitable for permanent installations in process lines requiring corrosion resistance and cleanability.
