Description
The 88° Tee is a specialized pipe fitting engineered to create a branch connection at an approximate right angle within industrial piping systems. This configuration allows precise directional distribution of fluids while maintaining efficient flow characteristics and installation flexibility.
Constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, 88° tees are suitable for sanitary and industrial environments requiring reliable fluid routing. The controlled angle design enables improved alignment in complex piping layouts where standard 90° fittings may not provide optimal positioning.
