3.000" OD 16ga Long Tee Butt-Weld - (7W) - Polished OD/ID - 316L Stainless

Butt-Weld Long Tee (7W) – 316L Stainless Steel

PNW Sanitary Butt-Weld Long Tees (7W) provide a durable, sanitary branch connection for welded stainless process systems. Manufactured from 316L stainless steel, these fittings feature extended branches that simplify system layout and can reduce the total number of fittings required. The 7W design ensures smooth, unrestricted flow paths suitable for hygienic applications in food, beverage, dairy, brewery, cosmetic, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical processing.
