What Is a U-Shaped Tee?
A U-shaped tee is a specialized three-way sanitary pipe fitting with a curved U-shaped main body and a branch connection located at the bottom.
As shown in the product design, the fitting has:
- Two upper pipe openings
- One lower branch outlet
- A curved U-shaped main body
- A flanged connection at the bottom branch
The two upper openings form the main curved flow path, while the lower branch provides an additional connection point for sanitary process piping.
