Tees - Pumps, Valves, Piping and Fittings
Marine pipe tees are branch fittings used to divide, combine, or redirect flow in shipboard piping systems. They are supplied as equal or reducing tees in welded, threaded, flanged, compression, grooved, or socket-weld configurations.
ProShipWorks provides end-to-end support to source and supply Tees for marine vessels, ship operators, industrial facilities, maintenance teams and procurement departments.

Standards, Certifications & Class Approval
Review the available standards and approval information relevant to the product. Actual certification, material traceability, inspection and classification requirements depend on the product type, intended application and purchasing specification.
| Applicable Standards & Certification | Common standards include ASME B16.9 for factory-made butt-weld fittings, ASME B16.11 for forged fittings, ASME B16.5 for flanged connections, ASME B16.3 for malleable iron threaded fittings, MSS SP-97 for integrally reinforced branch outlets, and ISO 9001 manufacturing quality systems. |
|---|---|
| Class Approval | Class approval may be required for pressure piping and fire-main applications. Depending on the vessel and piping system, accepted societies can include DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, and ClassNK. Approval is product-, material-, application-, and project-specific. |
Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information
| Installation Notes | Verify size, material, schedule, pressure rating, branch orientation, and connection standard before installation. Align and support piping without forcing the tee into position. For welded fittings, use qualified welding procedures and inspect welds as required. Use compatible gaskets, sealants, and bolts for flanged or threaded connections. |
|---|---|
| Maintenance Tips | Inspect tees and adjacent joints for corrosion, leakage, vibration, erosion, and coating damage during planned rounds. Check grooved, threaded, and flanged connections for loosening. Replace fittings showing cracking, wall thinning, severe corrosion, or deformation. |
| Safety Notes | Isolate, depressurize, drain, and verify the piping system before removal or installation. Follow hot-work permits and gas-free requirements for welding onboard. Use materials compatible with the conveyed fluid, temperature, pressure, and marine corrosion environment. |
