The KPC-176B Side Outlet Tee is a cast-iron pipe clamp fitting for 48.3 mm OD, 1-1/2" Sch. 40 pipe. It joins three horizontal pipes to a vertical column at 90° in one four-way fitting, using internal hex screws to lock the pipe without welding so structural pipework can be assembled, adjusted, and serviced on site.
Why It Matters
