Tube Tee 45 Degree

Stainless steel 45 degree tube tees are designed to create an angled branch connection from a main tube run, allowing the branch to depart at a 45° angle rather than the traditional 90°. This angled configuration can provide smoother flow transitions in certain systems, helping to reduce turbulence, pressure drop, and product impact as fluids or gases change direction. Because of this, 45° tube tees are often selected in process applications where improved flow characteristics or gentler directional changes are desirable.

This range of 45 degree tube tees is manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel and supplied with a satin finish. Grade 316 stainless steel is widely recognised for its excellent corrosion resistance, particularly in environments exposed to moisture, chemicals, and chlorides. This makes it an ideal material for hygienic installations, marine and coastal environments, and chemical processing systems. The satin finish delivers a clean, uniform appearance that is easy to maintain and well suited to food and beverage processing equipment, pharmaceutical installations, and architectural or exposed stainless steel tube fabrication.

Sizes are listed in millimetres and are supplied with a standard 1.6mm wall thickness to suit commonly used stainless steel tube systems. These fittings are frequently used in process lines, service branches, and custom-fabricated tube assemblies where space constraints or design requirements call for an angled take-off rather than a perpendicular branch. They are also useful in systems where smoother flow paths help improve efficiency or reduce wear.

For applications requiring a durable, corrosion-resistant, and neatly finished angled branch connection, 316 stainless steel 45 degree tube tees offer a reliable, high-quality, and industry-standard solution.
