True Wyes fabricated from pipe can be ultrasonically, or x-ray tested. True Wyes are furnished in the heat-treated condition when required. ASME B16.9 does not cover True Wye’s or their dimensions. Precision Flange True Wye dimensions are available by clicking the PDF link below. Custom dimensions are also available upon request. When True Wye Fittings require certification to material specifications, several options are available.
Fitting specifications: MSS SP-75, ASTM A234, ASTM A403, ASTM A420, ASTM A815, and ASTM B366. Contact Sales for material grades not covered by these specifications.
Wye pipe fittings are also called lateral connections. the name wye came because it resembles the letter “Y”. Such type of pipe fittings are used in drainage systems and have a branch line at 45 degrees to keep the flow of water smooth. This kind of pipe fitting has a low frictional loss and very low turbulence.
