What is lateral fittings?

A Lateral tee is one kind of tee fittings, which has a 45 degree branch from a pipeline: (45° Lateral Tee). It is a kind of steel pipe tee, but the branch direction is different with the straight tee. On the contrary to the lateral tee,the straight tee has a branch pipe direction of 90 degree to the run pipe.

What is the difference between a wye and a tee Wye?

A sanitary tee is shaped like the letter ‘T’, while a Wye is similar to ‘Y’. Sanitary tee is used for horizontal to vertical transition, and Wye is used for combining 2 lines into one horizontal line to maintain a flow without causing clogging.
