MDC’s Reducing Tees offer a robust and flexible solution for vacuum system configurations that require branching between CF flanges of different sizes. These T-shaped fittings are fabricated from 304 stainless steel drawn and welded vacuum tubing, ensuring mechanical strength, vacuum integrity, and corrosion resistance in demanding environments. Each of the three axes features one rotatable flange, allowing for precise alignment and ease of assembly even when connecting flanges of varying diameters.

Rated for ultra-high vacuum (UHV) performance down to 1x10⁻¹³ Torr and suitable for high-temperature operation up to 450°C (842°F), MDC’s reducing tees meet the rigorous requirements of scientific, industrial, and research-grade vacuum systems. The standard matte finish reduces outgassing and improves vacuum cleanliness.

Industry Applications

MDC’s Reducing Tees are widely used in advanced semiconductor tools, thin film deposition systems, and beamline vacuum networks, where branching between different flange sizes is required. They are also ideal for surface science research, vacuum metrology, and space simulation environments where flexibility, alignment, and leak integrity are mission-critical. Their rotatable flanges and UHV compatibility make them reliable components in both experimental setups and high-performance production systems.
