MD Steel 90 Degree Sweep Te...

Product details
A tee lets a side branch tap into a run without dividing the main line in two. Part 508S is the steel one, made with a rounded swept junction instead of a flat crossing, so what comes down the branch has a curve to follow as it joins the trunk.
That is the difference between this and a square tee, and on a vacuum line it is a meaningful one. MD publishes the fitting as galvanized zinc-plated carbon steel at 18 gauge, worked to ASTM standards and supplied one at a time, matching the couplings, ells and wyes it sits alongside.
Where a run shifts from metal to plastic partway through, that changeover generally calls for a dedicated adapter rather than fastening the two pipe materials straight to one another.
