Threadolets
Threadolets are branch connection fittings with a female threaded connection, designed to mate with a threaded branch pipe, creating a secure 90° branch on the run pipe.
Ideal for small-diameter piping systems requiring quick and reliable connections, Threadolets are widely used in oil and gas, petrochemical, and chemical industries.
Threadolets share a similar design to Weldolets, featuring a fillet weld connection to the run pipe, but differ with a female threaded connection for the branch pipe, eliminating the need for welding the branch. This allows for a 90° branch connection using a threaded pipe, available in full-size or reducing configurations. Threadolets are particularly suited for smaller pipe sizes and systems where welding is impractical, offering ease of installation and robust performance in high-pressure applications.
Threadolets are manufactured to meet stringent industry standards, ensuring compatibility and performance in demanding piping systems.
