What is the use of Weldolet?
Weldolets are used to create a 90-degrees (reinforced) pipe branch. The shape of the Weldolet ensures little stress concentration on the branched pipe, providing an integral reinforcement. On the branch pipe side, Weldolets may have the same schedule of the run pipe or a higher schedule
Weldolets are the most popular type of branch fittings, belong to the buttweld fittings family, and are available in a wide range of dimensions.
A Weldolet has beveled ends at both ends and is, therefore, welded onto the run pipe on one side and onto the branch pipe on the other side. Weldolets are used to create a 90-degrees (reinforced) pipe branch. The shape of the Weldolet ensures little stress concentration on the branched pipe, providing an integral reinforcement.
On the branch pipe side, Weldolets may have the same schedule of the run pipe or a higher schedule.
