PVC Pipe Fitting Tee, Schedule 80, 3/4 Socket x Stainless Steel Reinforced NPT Female

The Spears 802-SR series schedule 80 PVC tee fitting is designed with socket openings on two ends and reinforced female NPT threads on the branch. This fitting is ideal for connecting and branching three pipes. The socket ends enable smooth bore pipe connections, enhancing flow, while the National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads create a tighter seal than straight threads. Additionally, the stainless steel reinforcement on the female NPT end increases the fitting's lifespan.

This T-shaped fitting has three openings - two on the main run and one branch at a 90-degree angle from the middle of the tee. It is capable of connecting and branching three pipes, and its dimensions are represented as A x B x C, with "A" and "B" indicating the main run and "C" indicating the branch.

Constructed of gray PVC (polyvinyl chloride), the fitting offers chemical and corrosion resistance, high strength, and less weight than metal fittings. The schedule 80 PVC tee fitting is compatible with thick wall PVC pipes and fittings, making it suitable for applications such as chemical processing, industrial plating, chilled water distribution, deionized water lines, and chemical drainage and wastewater treatment systems. It can also be connected to materials like steel, copper, or cast iron using transition fittings.

With a maximum operating temperature of 140 degrees F, this fitting meets ASTM International D1784 and D2467 standards for quality assurance and is certified by the National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF) for potable water service. This makes it suitable for use in conveying drinking water, waste water, chemicals, and other liquids in various industries.

Pipe fittings play a crucial role in connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in many industries. When selecting pipe fittings, it is important to consider the application, as this will impact the material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in various shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).

Spears Manufacturing, based in Sylmar, CA, produces thermoplastic fittings and valves for fluid, drain, waste, and vent systems. Established in 1969, the company meets the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 9001.

In summary, the Spears 802-SR series schedule 80 PVC tee fitting offers three openings for connecting and branching three pipes, with socket openings on two ends and reinforced female NPT threads on the branch. It is constructed of PVC with stainless steel reinforcement and is suitable for a range of applications, with a maximum operating temperature of 140 degrees F. It meets ASTM D1784 and D2467 standards and is certified by NSF International for potable water service.
