True Union 2000 Industrial Tee-Style Ball Valve design integrates valve and Tee-fitting for direct branch take-of

laterals. The “Tee-Valve” provides a stronger, more compact connection by eliminating the need for a reducer, additional

length of pipe, and one of the end connections on the ball valve. Close proximity of valve to mainline emulates a “zero dead-

leg” design to minimize any areas of fluid stagnation. Custom produced to specified Tee and Valve connection sizes. Also

available in metric sizes.

Sample Engineering Specification
