What Are Barred Tee Fittings?
Barred tee fittings are butt weld pipe fittings with metal bars fitted across the branch opening. These bars allow fluid to flow into the branch while preventing pipeline pigs from entering it. They are commonly used in oil and gas pipelines where operators need to clean, inspect or maintain the main pipeline without the pig getting stuck in a side branch.
Pipeline pigs travel through the pipe to remove deposits, inspect internal surfaces or separate different products. Without bars, a pig may enter an open branch and cause blockages or delays. Barred tees help guide the pig along the main pipeline while maintaining the required branch connection.
These fittings are used in oil and gas transmission, pipeline networks and other systems that require pigging operations. Their dimensions can follow ASME B16.9, while the applicable pipeline design code, such as ASME B31.4 for liquid pipelines or ASME B31.8 for gas pipelines, depends on the system and project requirements.
Barred Teee Fittings
High-quality barred tee fittings for industrial piping systems, designed to prevent pipeline pigs from entering branch lines during cleaning and inspection. Available in sizes ½″–48″ and grades WPB, WPL6, WP304/304L and WP316/316L, these fittings serve demanding oil and gas, petrochemical, chemical, power generation, marine and engineering applications.
Barred Tee Fittings Types We Supply
As a barred tee fittings manufacturer, we offer different designs and material options for pipelines that require reliable branch connections and safe pigging operations.
- Equal Barred Tee: Features the same diameter for the main run and branch, with bars to prevent pigs from entering the branch.
- Reducing Barred Tee: Has a smaller branch than the main run for pipelines with different pipe diameters.
- Flat Bar Barred Tee: Uses flat bars across the branch opening to help guide pigs along the main line.
- Round Bar Barred Tee: Features rounded bars across the branch, designed to suit specific pigging and flow requirements.
- Seamless Barred Tee: Uses a seamless tee body for applications that require a seamless construction.
- Welded Barred Tee: Suitable for larger pipe sizes, with weld inspection based on project specifications.
- High-Yield Barred Tee (WPHY): Designed for pipeline applications that require higher material strength.
- Low-Temperature Barred Tee (WPL6): Suitable for pipeline services that require toughness at low temperatures.
- Stainless Steel and Duplex Barred Tee: Used in corrosive environments, including chemical processing and seawater systems.
We offer barred tee fittings in different sizes, material grades and configurations to meet pipeline specifications and operating requirements.
Why Choose Barred Tee Fittings?
Barred tee fittings are a practical choice for pipelines that use pigs for cleaning, inspection and maintenance. The bars across the branch opening help keep the pig in the main pipeline while allowing fluid to enter the branch. This design reduces the risk of pigs entering side connections and helps prevent interruptions during pipeline operations.
Key benefits of barred tee fittings include:
- Prevent Pig Entry: Keep pipeline pigs from entering branch lines and getting stuck.
- Support Smooth Pigging: Help pigs continue along the main pipeline during cleaning and inspection.
- Reduce Downtime: Lower the risk of blockages and delays caused by pigs entering side branches.
- Maintain Flow: Allow fluid to pass through the branch while the bars guide the pig along the main line.
- Suit Pipeline Applications: Support oil, gas and other systems that require regular pigging operations.
Barred tee fittings are available in different sizes, materials and configurations to suit pipeline design requirements. Selecting the right fitting depends on the branch size, pigging method, operating conditions and applicable project standards.

Barred Tee Fittings Applications
- Crude Oil Pipelines: Operators fit barred tee fittings at branch connections so cleaning and inspection pigs pass the take-off without entering it.
- Natural Gas Transmission: Gas lines use barred tees at delivery points and take-offs that sit on pigged mainlines.
- Product Pipelines: Refined product lines use barred tees where several products share one pipeline and batching pigs separate them.
- Gas Gathering Systems: Field gathering networks use barred tees where small lines join larger pigged headers.
- Compressor and Pump Stations: Station piping uses barred tees so pigs travel past bypass and recycle branches.
- Water Injection and Transfer Lines: Oilfield water lines use barred tees to keep pigging runs smooth across branches.
- Slurry and Mining Pipelines: Heavy slurry lines use barred tees to keep pigs on the main line past each side branch.
- Pig Launcher and Receiver Piping: Trap manifolds use barred tees to guide pigs and keep the valves and kicker lines clear, and many projects source them from a Barred Tee Fittings Supplier in India like us.
