Forged olet Fitting
Socketweld Flexolet
GS MetalFit offers Socketweld Flexolet fittings for branch connection requirements in industrial piping systems, subject to product design and specification. The catalogue material identifies options across stainless steel, carbon steel, alloy steel, duplex, super duplex, high-nickel alloys and cupro nickel.
Socketweld Flexolet is the specified product for this page. The precise fitting geometry, branch configuration and compatibility with the piping system should be confirmed from the applicable product drawing and engineering requirements. Socket-weld, threaded and butt-weld Flexolet variants are mentioned in the source catalogue, but each configuration must be verified separately.

About This Product
Socketweld Flexolet
GS MetalFit provides product enquiries for Socketweld Flexolet fittings and related branch connection products. Olet fittings are used to form branch connections from a run pipe or header, with the appropriate design selected according to the branch arrangement, connection type, material, dimensions and piping design requirements.
The source catalogue identifies Socketweld Flexolet in multiple material categories, including stainless steel grades such as ASTM A182 F304, F304L, F316 and F316Ti; carbon steel ASTM A105; duplex and super duplex grades; and specialised alloys such as Nickel 200, Inconel 625, Monel 400 and Hastelloy C276.
The source also describes forged Nickel 200 fittings and lists socket-weld, threaded and butt-weld Flexolet variants. These should be treated as separate configuration options rather than assumed features of a single fitting. Confirm the required end connection and material specification before ordering.
GS MetalFit can review enquiries based on the requested size, drawing, material grade, connection details, pressure class and applicable standard.

Material Grade & Specification Selection
Socketweld Flexolet Selection Note: Socketweld Flexolet is listed within the branch connection fitting range. Its suitability depends on the verified fitting design and compatibility with the piping system. Before selection, confirm the run pipe size, branch size, socket-weld connection requirements, material grade, wall thickness, pressure and temperature design conditions, and applicable piping specifications. Verify the product-specific standards and availability with the supplier before finalising the technical specification.
