Branch Outlet Fittings (Weldolet, Sockolet, Thredolet)
As time progressed, we matched our pace to the rapidly globalizing world, triumphantly emerging as a leading powerhouse of quality products. We are manufacturers of Outlets, a type of branch connection fitting typically used in the absence or non-availability of a standard tee. We engineer these outlets in different materials like our Stainless Steel Outlets are capable of providing a perfect 90° branch and have a beveled-shaped end for hassle-free welding. We are suppliers of Alloy Steel Outlets that water down the stress build-up at the branch connection and retain pipe strength through buttress. As suppliers and exporters of ANSI B16.11 Outlets in Nickel, Monel, Hastelloy, etc., we also provide at Outlets used on at surfaces

Frequently Asked Questions About Olets (Branch Connections)
Why use Olets (Branch Connections) instead of a standard Piping Tee?
Olets (such as Weldolets, Threadolets, and Sockolets) are branch connection fittings that offer an alternative to a traditional tee. They are often preferred because they require less welding, eliminate the need to cut a central piece out of the run pipe, reduce material costs for larger pipe sizes, and provide a full penetration weld that delivers optimal flow characteristics and structural integrity.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are Branch Outlet Fittings (Olets)?Branch connection fittings, commonly known as Olets (Weldolet, Sockolet, Threadolet), provide a reliable and tested method for branching off a larger main pipe (run pipe) to a smaller branch pipe. They eliminate the need for cutting a pipe in half to install a traditional tee, retaining the structural integrity of high-pressure pipelines.
What dimension standards apply to your Olets?All Gandhi Metal India branch connection fittings are manufactured in accordance with MSS-SP-97 standards, ensuring precise dimensional tolerances. Our Weldolets are designed to match ASME B16.9, while our Sockolets and Threadolets comply with ASME B16.11 standards.
Which material grades are available for your Branch Connections?We stock Olets in a wide variety of materials, primarily ASTM A105 (Carbon Steel) and ASTM A182 F304/F316 (Stainless Steel). We also cater to custom requirements in Alloy Steel (F11, F22) and exotic materials like Inconel and Duplex 2205 for highly critical applications.
How do I choose between a Weldolet, Sockolet, and Threadolet?The choice depends on your branch pipe. Use a Weldolet for a buttweld connection, a Sockolet for a socket weld connection (high pressure, small diameter), and a Threadolet for threaded (NPT/BSPT) connections where welding is prohibited or access for maintenance is frequently required.
Are your Olets tested and certified for project export?Yes. Every batch is supplied with EN 10204 3.1 Mill Test Certificates. We perform 100% visual and dimensional checks, along with ultrasonic testing for crack detection, ensuring they are fully approved for EPC contracts in the Gulf and globally.
