Where and Why to use an Integrally Reinforced Branchette™ in lieu of a Welding Tee
Wherever welding fittings are required use an Integrally Reinforced Branchette™ in lieu of a conventional
welding tee for the following reasons listed below:
a. Integrally Reinforced Branchette™ cost at least 50% less than a conventional welding tee.
b. Fabrication time to install an Integrally Reinforced Branchette™ is at least 50% faster than a conventional
welding tee.
c. An Integrally Reinforced Branchette™ requires two (2) welds, three (3) for a conventional welding tee.
d. Thus the Branchette™ eliminates one (1) weld and non-destructive and inspection cost.
e. Integrally Reinforced Branchette™ restores the run and branch pipes to their original pressure retaining strength.
f. Integrally Reinforced Branchette™ can be consolidated over a great number of run pipe sizes,
which reduce a stocking locations inventory.
g. Integrally Reinforced Branchette™ are flexible in fabrication, allowing you to install your run pipe,
then install the Integrally Reinforced Branchette™ at any location and orientation.
h. Integrally Reinforced Branchette™ are available in a greater number of materials and schedules.
i. Integrally Reinforced Branchette™ meet all current Piping and Pressure Vessel codes.
Fabricators, stocking distributors, and end user alike can enjoy the advantages that an Integrally Reinforced
Branchette™ employ over that of a conventional welding tee.
The diagrams below shows an Integrally Reinforced Branchette™ and a conventional welding tee. Both the
conventional welding tee and an Integrally Reinforced Branchette™ forms a “T” intersection, joining the run
and branch pipes together at a predetermined location.
WOI is a world class leader in the design, manufacture and testing of Integrally Reinforced branch
connections. Call us for your next branch connection requirements or a solution to your special problem.

How it Works:
Each outlet size indicated on the chart is
designed to fit a number of run pipe sizes,
e.g., The 1" fitting marked 36 - 4" x 1" will fit all
run pipe sizes from 4" to 36". When placed on
a 36" run pipe, there will be a maximum redial
gap of 1/16" between the top of the run pipe and
REF. FIG. UW-16.1(a) SECTION VIII DIVISION 1
the base of the fitting at the crotch as shown on
the sketch. This gap is negligible when welding.
