1-1/2 inch CPVC Tee Plastic x Plastic x Plastic

1-1/2 Inch CPVC Tee – Slip x Slip x Slip, Hot and Cold Water Distribution

This 1-1/2 inch CPVC tee is designed for use in pressure-rated potable water systems. It features three slip (socket) ends for solvent-welded connections, allowing branch lines to be added at 90 degrees to the main run. Manufactured from chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC), this fitting is intended for hot and cold water applications and meets all dimensional and performance standards for SDR-11 CPVC systems.

Product Specifications

• Material: CPVC, per ASTM D1784 (Cell Classification 23447)
• Size: 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe size
• Ends: Slip x Slip x Slip (socket for solvent cement connection)
• Standard: ASTM D2846 – CPVC plastic hot and cold water distribution systems
• Pressure Rating: 100 psi at 180°F, 400 psi at 73°F (per D2846 limitations)

Installation Notes

All joint surfaces must be cleaned and primed using an approved primer. Solvent cement should meet ASTM F493. Allow for full cure time based on ambient conditions before pressurizing. Ensure proper alignment to maintain flow and avoid inducing stress on the joint.

Applications

• ✅ Hot and cold potable water distribution lines
• ✅ Branch takeoffs in residential and light commercial pressure systems
• ✅ Water heater supply lines and mechanical room manifolds

Performance and Use Considerations

CPVC offers high temperature and pressure resistance, and is non-corrosive when exposed to aggressive water chemistries. This fitting is compatible with SDR-11 CPVC piping systems and is commonly used in applications where metallic fittings are not required or desired. It should not be used for compressed air or gas applications unless specifically rated.
