Schedule 80 CPVC Tees

Schedule 80 CPVC tees are T-shaped pipe fittings used to connect three sections of cpvc pipe in a plumbing system. Schedule 80 CPVC tee fittings are primarily used to create a branch off a main line in a plumbing network for the even distribution of liquid media. The tee allows the redirection of liquid flow at a 90-degree angle, dividing the flow from a single line into multiple lines. 

CPVC stands for Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride, a thermoplastic material known for its superior properties. CPVC tees excel over standard PVC in terms of temperature range, pressure rating, and chemical resistance. CPVC tee fittings are made to Schedule 80 standards and have thicker sidewalls compared to Schedule 40, making it better suited for high pressure and temperature applications. Schedule 80 CPVC tees are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and have low thermal conductivity that minimizes heat loss and condensation buildup. The smooth inner surface promotes efficient flow to reduce pressure drops and optimize overall performance. 

Schedule 80 CPVC tees are versatile and allow seamless integration into various plumbing configurations. They can be used to create branches for fixtures, equipment, or additional piping runs to match the design and layout needs of the plumbing network. Plumbers and contractors value the simple installation and compatibility of CPVC tees with a range of piping materials including CPVC, copper, and PEX tubing.

Sch 80 CPVC tee sizes range from 3/8” to 8” in pipe diameter. Large diameter CPVC tee fittings in 10” and 12” sizes are available on request. Reducing tees are also available with a smaller diameter for the branch line pipe to transition between different pipe sizes. CPVC reducing tee sizes range from 3/4” x 1/2" to 6” x 6” x 4”.

Sch 80 CPVC t fittings have either socket, threaded (FPT), or combination connections. Socket CPVC tees feature two slip ends designed to be joined with CPVC solvent cement for a secure, leak-proof connection. Threaded CPVC tees feature two female pipe thread (FPT) ends for twist-tight connections with male pipe thread (MPT) plumbing. Combination CPVC elbows have a socket end and a thread end for connecting two different plumbing joints.

Our Schedule 80 CPVC tees are precision engineered and made in the USA by leading manufacturers of premium pipe supplies. The fittings meet stringent industry standards to provide long term performance, reliability, and quality. Our heavy duty CPVC tee fittings are manufactured to meet ASTM D1784, ASTM F439, ASTM F437, and NSF standards. ASTM D1784 covers the cell classification of CPVC used in production to ensure material composition, strength, and chemical resistance. ASTM F439 and ASTM F437 cover the dimensions, pressure testing, and connection requirements for socket and threaded CPVC tees. NSF approval ensures our Sch 80 CPVC tees are certified safe for potable water systems.

The CPVC material used in these pipe tees has a naturally higher resistance to many frequently used chemicals and materials. This resistance makes Sch 80 CPVC tees suitable for a range of industrial, manufacturing, and chemical handling scenarios. For chemical plumbing lines and conveyance systems, always verify chemical compatibility before use.

Schedule 80 CPVC tees are commonly used in plumbing systems to create branch connections to allow liquid media to flow in two right angle directions. The heavy duty strength of CPVC makes these tees suitable for many applications. In hot and cold potable water lines, CPVC tees can handle the higher temperatures found in hot water lines in residential and commercial settings. In industrial processes, Schedule 80 CPVC tees can be used to transport chemicals or other liquids at higher temperatures and pressures. They can be a preferred choice in irrigation, water treatment, and filtration systems due to the extra physical and chemical durability of 80 CPVC.

Schedule 80 CPVC tees are indispensable components when needing to connect three pipe sections for even flow distribution. Their compact T-shape and 90-degree angle allow quick branching and easy installation. Made from durable CPVC material to Schedule 80 thickness, they are designed for applications and work conditions requiring high temperatures, high pressures, and chemicals. These fittings are often used in CPVC plumbing systems in hot and cold potable water lines, industrial processes, irrigation systems, and water treatment and filtration systems. Purchase options for CPVC t fittings vary by product and size and can include single, box, and pallet quantities. Contractor pricing may be available for qualifying professionals and bulk quantity orders.
