Sockolets (*) are a type of self-reinforced branch connection that are typically used in small-sized pipe branch connections. Sockolets are similar to weldolets.

Like every other part of your piping systems, it is vital to have high-quality sockolets. They are available in a range of dimensions and class 3000 to class 6000 pressure and temperature ratings.

Sockolets or Weldolets?

Sockolets and weldolets (*) can be interchangeable. Both are outlet pipe branch fittings. The sockolets are typically used in lower pressure situations or with smaller pipe branches. Weldolets are used for larger branch connections.

They both offer accelerated weld time. Ultimately, getting some input from a professional will help you to make the right choice. The right connector is available from a trusted source.

Availability

The success of installing a piping system relies heavily on having the right high-quality parts. Sockolets, pressure vessel openings, screwed fittings, weldolets, and more all have to be of the best quality to get the best results.

The problem that a lot of oil and gas companies run into is the availability of parts. Waiting on one part can delay your project by weeks and cost you millions of dollars. Connecting with a distributor that keeps a full stock of sockolets in a range of dimensions can help to ensure that your project comes together seamlessly without delay.

Partnering with a company that not only has what you need in stock for your piping systems but that has the knowledge base to make recommendations and help you solve piping problems can be a valuable asset to any organization.

Fast Turn-Around Time Is Another Must

How long can your pipeline wait for the parts that you need? In most cases, the answer is you needed it yesterday. It is not enough to have high-quality parts in stock, they have to be shipped quickly if you are going to avoid delays.

The right supplier has the experience to understand that oil and gas concerns need parts and supplies fast. There is a lot at stake when even the smallest part is delayed because of shipping policies. Fast turnarounds ensure that you have what you need when you need it.

The right branch connections will ensure the safety of your pipeline and continuity. Connecting with the right supplier will help you have the parts that you need to keep things flowing.
