Elbow / Tee
Pipe Elbows (45° / 90° / 180°)
Our industrial Pipe Elbows are engineered to change the direction of flow in a piping system with minimal pressure drop. We manufacture Buttweld, Socket Weld, and Threaded elbows in various angles (45°, 90°, and 180° Return Bends). Available in both Long Radius (LR) for reduced friction and Short Radius (SR) for compact spaces, our elbows undergo strict NDT testing to ensure leak-proof performance in high-pressure environments.

Pipe Tees (Equal & Reducing)
Pipe Tees are T-shaped fittings with three openings (two on the run, one on the branch) used to combine or split fluid flow. We offer **Equal Tees** (all ports same size) for uniform distribution and **Reducing Tees** (smaller branch port) for connecting pipes of different diameters. For pipeline cleaning and pigging operations, we also supply specialized **Barred Tees** with internal guide bars.
