Frequently Asked Questions
What is a flareless tee union?
A flareless tee union is a pipe fitting that connects three tubes or pipes at a 90-degree branch without requiring the pipe end to be flared. It uses a compression ferrule or bite ring to grip the tube, creating a secure and leak-tight seal.
What sizes are available?
Our stainless steel flareless tee unions are available for tubes from 1/4 inch to 1 inch outer diameter (6 mm to 25 mm). We also offer various thread types including NPT, BSP, and metric to suit your vessel's piping system.
Can these fittings be used with seawater?
Yes, the AISI 316 stainless steel construction provides excellent resistance to seawater corrosion, making these flareless tee unions suitable for marine applications where exposure to saltwater is common.
Are these fittings certified for marine use?
While our fittings meet ASTM A276 and DIN 2353 standards, they are designed for marine environments and are widely used on commercial and naval vessels. For specific classification society approvals, please contact our sales team for documentation.
