OMNIDIRECTIONAL BRANCH FITTING FOR STEEL PIPE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inexpensive branch fitting capable of performing work without exposing the whole periphery of a gas pipe in work of connecting a branch pipe with the existing steel gas pipe 1, and being omnidirectionally mounted to a pipe axis regardless of a diameter of the gas pipe without using a special tool. SOLUTION: A gas introduction socket 2 is welded and fixed in a state of being upright on the gas pipe, a cylindrical leg portion 9 of a T-shaped connecting pipe 8 surrounds an outer periphery of the gas introduction socket and welded and fixed to the gas pipe, a working socket 18 with a plug is disposed on the connecting pipe positioned just above the introduction socket 2, one end of the T-shaped connecting pipe 8 is a branch pipe connection port 14, and the other end is a handhole 16.
