Sockolet: Forged Socket Weld Branch Outlet (MSS SP-97)

Sockolet · forged A105 · MSS SP-97 · UAE stock

A forged olet with a socket weld outlet that welds onto a header to provide a reinforced small-bore branch. It is the welded counterpart of the threadolet and the usual choice for socket weld branch piping off larger headers.

Overview

Forged sockolets for socket weld branches off headers

A sockolet joins a socket weld branch to a larger header. Its contoured base is groove welded to the run pipe, and the outlet socket, with bore and depth following ASME B16.11 practice, accepts the branch pipe for a fillet weld. MSS SP-97 defines class 3000 and 6000 sockolets with integral reinforcement, so the branch needs no pad and the header stays continuous.

Hamza Fasteners supplies A105 sockolets with 1/4 to 2 inch outlets in class 3000 and 6000, contoured for headers from 3/8 inch up. Typical uses are small-bore drains, vents, instrument and sample lines, steam tracing supplies and chemical injection branches on refinery, gas plant and offshore headers. Give our Dubai team the header size and schedule, outlet size and class for a firm quote.

FAQ

Common questions

When is a sockolet preferred over a threadolet?
Choose a sockolet when the branch pipe is socket welded, which is common in hydrocarbon service where threaded joints are restricted. Use a threadolet when the branch must screw directly into an instrument or valve.
How is a sockolet class matched to the header?
Class 3000 sockolets are generally used on standard and extra strong headers and class 6000 on heavier walls such as Schedule 160. Branch pipe in the socket is normally Schedule 80 for class 3000 and Schedule 160 for class 6000.
Do you supply sockolets in a range of sizes?
Yes. Sockolets with 1/4 to 2 inch outlets are supplied in class 3000 and 6000, contoured for many header sizes, alongside threadolets, weldolets and 45° laterals. Tell us the quantities and we will confirm availability by return.
How much do sockolets cost in Dubai?
Cost of sockolets is set by nominal size, class, material grade and quantity. Project and bulk orders are priced lower per piece. Share your take-off on WhatsApp and our Dubai team will quote the same day.
Do you deliver sockolets across the UAE, GCC and Africa?
Dubai and UAE orders are dispatched from stock, often next day. For KSA, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and African projects we arrange freight and paperwork, including mill test certificates to EN 10204 3.1 on request.
Can sockolets be used on small headers?
Yes, but as the branch approaches the header size, a socket weld tee or reducing tee may fit better. Very large branch to header ratios call for special olets, so send both sizes and we will advise.
