When you’re designing and installing a piping system, your execution will only be as good as the components you use. Ultimately, your system won’t be as efficient or as compliant as it needs to be without the right materials. While there are a number of items that make up a superior piping system, you’ll need to carefully consider your choice in branch connection before you ever break ground.

Branch connections play a pivotal role in any type of piping setup, but do you really know the ins and outs of these products? We do. Here’s a brief overview of what you can expect when looking for these components and how we can help you find the right ones for your needs.

Understanding Branch Connections

Although experienced engineers will instantly understand the definition and importance of a branch connection, that doesn’t mean everyone else will. Having at least a basic knowledge of branch connections can allow you to make the right choices for your piping system.

A branch connection, sometimes known as an olet, is a specific type of fitting that acts as an outlet from a large pipe to a smaller pipe or one of equal size. The branch connection essentially creates a channel between the two pipes through which liquids or gases can flow. Without the right type of branch connection, the piping system you’ve designed may not work properly due to improper fittings or interruptions in flow.

Selecting the Right Branch Connections

Once you know more about the function of a branch connection, you can go about exploring the potential components you might need for a given system. There are numerous olets available, including weldolets, sockolets, thredolets, elbolets, latrolets, sweepolets, coupolets, and nipolets. Bolts, nuts, and gaskets also fall under the category of branch connections. There are malleable and cast iron fittings, as well. In addition, there are a number of sizes, bores, classes, and metal materials to choose from, including stainless steel and several kinds of alloys.
