What is Threadolet?
Threadolet is a type of self-reinforced branch fitting developed by a Company called Bonney Forge. It is used whenever threaded branch connections are required from the pipe header. Mostly, it is used for small-size piping with a low-pressure application.
Threadolets are available in full size or reducing size. Full size is when you take a branch of the same size as run pipe size, for example, 3 inches to 3 inches. And reducing size is when branch size is less than run pipe size. For example, 3 inches to 1 inch. Threadolet ’s end is suited for the threaded connection.
This olet is available in class 3000 and class 6000 pressure-temperature ratings.

Threadolet Dimensions
During the Dimensional inspection of the threadolet, you should check for
- Outer & Inner Diameter of body
- Length of the Hub
- Thread Dimensions
Being a trailer product, threadolets are designed for specific conditions based on Process piping Code ASME B31.3; hence, Dimension is also specified by the designer. However, MSS-SP-97 provides dimension requirements for standard 90° self-reinforced branch connection with butt, socket, and threaded end types.
