What are pipe olets?
Pipe olets are fittings which provide an outlet from a larger pipe to a smaller one (or one of
the same size). The main pipe onto which the branch connection is welded is usually
called the Run or Header size. The pipe to which the branch connection provides a
channel is usually called the Branch or Outlet size. Branch connections are in all sizes,
types, bores, and classes, in a wide range of stainless steel, chrome-moly, and other
alloys.
Types of pipe olets
WELDOLET® is the most common of all branch
connections, and is welded onto the outlet pipe. The ends are bevelled to facilitate this
process, and therefore the weldolet is considered a butt-weld fitting. Weldolet’s are
designed to minimize stress concentrations and provide integral reinforcement. Weldolet
makes 90-deg branch, full-size or reducing, on straight pipe. Closer manifolding is
possible than with tees. Flat-based weldolets are available for connecting to pipe caps
and vessel heads. (MSS SP-97 UNS S31803 Weldolet DN50 X DN50 Sch40)

LATROLET®, used for 45°lateral connections, is
available butt-weld to meet specific reinforcement requirements, and 3000# or 6000#

classes for Socket Weld and threaded applications. It makes a 45-deg branch from the
main pipe. Mostly latrolets are used in the flare relief lines where the branches are
going to connect with the main flare headers, Latrolets are always connected towards the

Specifying the Schedule of both the Run and Branch
Generally the schedules of the run pipe and branch pipe are identical and thus
specification of the equivalent schedule Weldolet assures the proper fitting being used.
www.steeljrv.com
www.steeljrv.com
EXAMPLE:
16″ Standard weight x 6″ Standard weight is specified as a 6″ standard weight fitting.
Where the schedule of the run is greater or less than the schedule of the branch, it is
essential that both schedules be specified since (a) The Weldolet’s reinforcing
characteristics are a function of the run pipe wall thickness, which in turn designates the
schedule of the basic Weldolet® fitting to be used;(b) The wall thickness of the outlet or
branch end must match the wall thickness of the branch pipe.
EXAMPLE:
16″ Extra strong x 6″ Standard weight
16″ Standard weight x 6″ Extra strong
Special care is suggested to avoid confusing schedule 40 and standard weight as being
identical (above 10″ schedule 40 is heavier) and schedule 80 and extra strong (above 8″
schedule 80 is heavier).
EXAMPLE:
8″ Schedule 80 x 4″ Schedule 80 fitting or extra strong fitting.18″ Schedule 80 x 4″
Schedule 80 is a considerably heavier fitting, because the reinforcement is for 18″
schedule 80 pipe with a wall thickness of approximately 1″.
The Weldolet® is available in standard code designs for all combinations of run wall
thicknesses up through 3½” thickness and branch wall thicknesses up through double
extra strong. Designs for thicknesses greater than these can be developed on request.
