What is a carbon steel tee 3/4 inch?
A carbon steel tee joins three steel pipes in a T shape, taking a branch off a main line. It comes in threaded and butt weld types.
Tees are used on steam, fuel, air and process lines. Because carbon steel is strong, they handle high pressure and temperature when correctly rated.
