Glass equal tees are three-way glass pipeline fittings in which all ports have the same nominal diameter (DN). They are used to split or combine fluid flow symmetrically, ensuring equal distribution or merging without changing pipeline size. Equal tees are a standard component in borosilicate glass pipeline systems where chemical resistance, vacuum compatibility, and visual monitoring are required.
Manufactured from borosilicate glass 3.3, equal tees offer excellent thermal stability, corrosion resistance, and a smooth internal surface for efficient flow.
Equal tees are designed with three identical connections arranged at 90°, allowing uniform branching or joining of pipelines. Their symmetrical geometry makes them ideal for processes requiring balanced flow conditions and consistent hydraulic behavior.
These fittings integrate seamlessly with other glass pipeline components such as pipe sections, bends, reducers, and crosses.
