Branch outlet fittings
Custom-engineered solutions
Megalets and insert megalets
Megalets — developed and validated through continuous design processes — offer technical, technological, and economic advantages over traditional branch outlets. These self-reinforcing fittings reduce filler metal usage, minimise welding time, and facilitate easier non-destructive testing, making them a superior solution for many industrial contexts. Insert megalets, in particular, are ideal when a compact, internally welded solution is required within limited space, offering enhanced performance without compromising structural integrity.

Branch fitting flanged outlets
Branch fitting flanged outlets are essential piping components for high-pressure or high-temperature applications such as oil & gas, chemical processing, and power generation. Their flanged connections ensure leak-proof, durable performance — particularly when branching from a main pipeline to smaller lines.
At M.E.G.A., we offer a wide selection of high-quality flanged branch outlets tailored to the needs of complex industrial systems. Custom sizes and configurations are available upon request.

Nipple outlets
Nipple outlets are one-piece branch connection fittings, available with threaded or plain ends. They are commonly used in plumbing, HVAC, oil & gas, and power systems. M.E.G.A. manufactures nipple outlets in a variety of materials, sizes, and specifications, ensuring high reliability across a range of industrial environments.

Alongside this, our standardized branch outlet fittings are readily available for purchase via our official MEGA e-commerce platform, providing immediate access to high-quality components.
All e-commerce products are manufactured in-house and fully comply with ASME B31.1, B31.3, B31.4, and B31.8 standards. They are also in full conformity with the MSS-SP-97 Standard Practice, ensuring quality, safety, and durability in every installation.
Explore our range of self-reinforcing outlet fittings, engineered for different branch angles and configurations. All models are available with Butt Weld (BW), Socket Weld (SW), or Threaded ends (NPT), suitable for various installation needs.
Latromegalets SW/NPT
Latromegalets with Socket Weld (SW) or National Pipe Thread (NPT) ends are engineered for branch connections at angles other than 90°, offering flexibility in non-standard piping layouts. Ideal for systems where directional change is required without compromising mechanical strength.
Megalet BW
Megalet Butt Weld (BW) fittings are self-reinforcing branch outlets designed for 90° connections to the main pipeline. They offer advantages such as reduced welding time and enhanced strength, making them suitable for high-pressure applications.
Latromegalets BW
Latromegalets with Butt Weld ends are designed for branch connections at various angles, providing versatility in piping layouts. Their self-reinforcing design ensures reliable performance in demanding environments.
Megalets SW/NPT
Megalets with Socket Weld or NPT ends facilitate 90° branch connections, offering ease of installation and robust performance. These fittings are suitable for systems where welding is impractical or threading is preferred.
Elbomegalets BW
Elbomegalets with Butt Weld ends are specialized fittings designed for branch connections on elbows, maintaining flow efficiency and structural strength. They are ideal for complex piping configurations requiring directional changes.
Elbomegalets SW/NPT
Elbomegalets with Socket Weld or NPT ends provide solutions for branching on elbows without the need for welding, simplifying installation while ensuring reliable connections. These fittings are advantageous in systems where welding is restricted or threading is preferred.
Connection types explained
When selecting a branch outlet fitting, understanding the connection types is critical:
- Butt Weld (BW): The fitting is directly welded to the main pipe, offering a seamless, pressure-resistant join.
- Socket Weld (SW): The fitting is inserted into the pipe end and welded externally; suited for small-diameter pipes under high pressure.
- Threaded (NPT): Allows for mechanical connection without welding; useful where welding is not permitted or practical.
Each solution provides unique benefits depending on pipe diameter, pressure class, and installation requirements.
Choosing the right branch outlet fitting
Selecting the correct outlet fitting depends on the size and material of the main pipeline, branch orientation, operating pressure and temperature, as well as system layout. It is also crucial to assess the fluid type, installation environment, and regulatory standards.
Our team can support you in identifying whether a standardised e-commerce solution is appropriate or whether a custom-designed fitting from our engineering department is the better fit.
All standard products available in our e-commerce shop are ASME B31.1, B31.3, B31.4, and B31.8 compliant and fully adhere to MSS-SP-97 Standard Practice.
