When injection of treatment chemicals or sampling of the process is required it is preferable to use an access fitting with side tee.
Tee fittings incorporate a ¼”, ½”, ¾”, or 1” NPT threaded outlet on the side of the fitting body, with optional Socketweld, Buttweld, and Flanged outlet to suit the type of service.
If needed, the side tee connection can be closed off with a pipe plug, allowing probes/devices that would normally be used with a non-tee-type access fitting to be used with a tee-type access fitting.
