The Cast Iron Bent Pipe Tee Fitting is a robust, heavy-duty plumbing component designed to connect and redirect fluid flow in industrial, commercial, and municipal piping systems, merging exceptional durability, structural stability, and versatile flow management capabilities.
Advantages
This fitting’s core strengths lie in its cast iron construction and integrated bend-tee design: cast iron offers superior impact resistance and pressure tolerance, making it suitable for high-demand systems handling water, wastewater, or low-corrosivity fluids. The combined bend and tee structure eliminates the need for multiple separate fittings (e.g., a separate elbow and tee), simplifying installation and reducing potential leak points. Its thick-walled build withstands long-term wear from constant fluid flow and environmental stress, while its compatibility with standard pipe sizes ensures seamless integration with existing systems. Additionally, it requires minimal maintenance (only periodic inspections for corrosion in harsh environments), ensuring long-term cost-effectiveness.
Detailed Features
Structurally, the fitting consists of a one-piece cast iron body (formed into a 90-degree bend with an integrated tee branch, visible in the image), with smooth internal walls to minimize flow resistance. It features a matte black, corrosion-resistant finish (typical of cast iron fittings) that protects against environmental wear. The component is marked with size identifiers (e.g., “G40” visible in the image) for easy compatibility matching with pipes. The connection ends are precision-machined to fit standard pipe joints (e.g., threaded or flanged), and the thick, uniform walls distribute pressure evenly to prevent cracking under stress. The one-piece casting design eliminates weak seams, enhancing structural integrity compared to assembled fittings.
Application Scope
This cast iron bent pipe tee is widely used in industrial wastewater systems, municipal water supply networks, commercial building plumbing, and heavy-duty drainage lines: in factories, it redirects flow in industrial wastewater piping; in urban areas, it integrates into municipal water distribution systems to branch off service lines; in commercial buildings, it fits heavy-duty drainage systems for large restrooms or utility areas; in construction sites, it serves as a temporary fitting for large-scale piping setups. It is particularly suitable for environments where high pressure and durability are critical (e.g., sewage treatment plants, industrial manufacturing facilities). Whether used in new piping installations or as a replacement for worn components, this fitting delivers reliable performance. It provides a practical, low-maintenance flow management solution, balances strength and versatility, and meets the needs of plumbers, facility managers, and municipal engineers seeking a robust cast iron plumbing fitting.
