2" Schedule 40 Butt-Weld Tee – 304 Stainless Steel
PNW Sanitary 304 stainless steel Schedule 40 butt-weld tees are precision-manufactured fittings designed for nominal pipe size (NPS) stainless piping systems requiring increased wall thickness and structural strength. This equal-length tee configuration provides a 90-degree branch connection between three pipe sections, supporting consistent flow distribution in industrial fabrication and process piping applications.
Constructed from 304 stainless steel and manufactured in accordance with ASTM A403/A960 material standards and ASME B16.9 dimensional requirements, this tee delivers dependable weld fit-up and dimensional consistency. Schedule 40 wall thickness offers greater durability and pressure capability compared to Schedule 5 and Schedule 10 options, making it suitable for demanding mechanical systems, structural assemblies, and elevated temperature service. Ends are factory-beveled for secure and consistent butt-weld installation. Fittings are ink-stamped “Ace Race Parts” for manufacturing identification.

Applications & Compatibility
Commonly used in industrial stainless piping systems requiring branch connections with increased wall thickness for structural integrity and pressure handling. Suitable for fabrication projects, mechanical installations, structural builds, and general process utility lines. Compatible with standard NPS Schedule 40 stainless pipe and butt-weld fittings manufactured to ASME B16.9 dimensions. Not intended for sanitary clamp-style or hygienic ferrule-based systems.
Quality & Material Verification
PNW Sanitary verifies stainless steel fittings through in-house Positive Material Identification (PMI) using the SciAps X-550 handheld XRF spectrometer to confirm alloy chemistry and support material traceability.
