Sockolet Definition

We are manufacturer of sockolet and supplies Class 3000, 6000 in kinds of materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel.

Sockolet is a branch connection pipe fittings that used to create integrally reinforced connection from a run pipe to a branch pipe at 90 degree. This is forged pipe fittings with high strength and clear cost advantages over conventional pipe branching techniques.

Its installation is also quite easily: one side is fixed onto the run pipe with a full penetration groove weld, the other is socket weld with the branch pipe. Socket welding means the pipe will be inserted into a recessed area of sockolet then welding them together. The branches size can be equal or smaller than the ran pipe’s.

Weldolet VS Sockolet

Sockolets is socket weld fittings, its diameter is from 1/8” to 4”, and the pressures are Class 3000, class6000 and class 9000. Whereas weldolet is buttweld fittings, the dimension range is much larger.

Weldolet VS Sockolet

What is a Sockolet Used For

• Offer branches
• Reducing pipe size
• Change the direction in 90 degree
• Creat integrally reinforced connections
