1/2" CPVC Tee Fitting – Designed for High-Temperature Pressure Applications

The 1/2" CPVC Tee is engineered for branch connections in potable water systems and other applications requiring corrosion-resistant, thermoplastic fittings. Manufactured from chlorinated polyvinyl chloride, this tee offers excellent thermal stability and pressure retention in both hot and cold water distribution systems.

Performance Characteristics

• ✅ High-Temperature Tolerance: Rated for continuous service at up to 180°F (82°C), making it suitable for hot water supply lines.
• ✅ Pressure Rated: Meets ASTM D2846 for SDR 11 CPVC pipe and fittings; pressure rated up to 100 psi at 180°F.
• ✅ Corrosion Resistance: Inert to most acids, bases, salts, and organic compounds; will not scale or corrode internally like metal systems.
• ✅ Precise Molded Dimensions: Slip socket ends provide smooth, tight solvent-welded joints for reduced risk of leaks or failures.
• ✅ Lightweight Design: Simplifies handling and allows fast, consistent installation in confined areas.

Technical Specifications

• Material: CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride)
• Nominal Size: 1/2 inch
• Ends: Socket x Socket x Socket
• Standard Compliance: ASTM D2846, NSF/ANSI 14, NSF/ANSI 61 for potable water use

Installation Requirements

Installation should follow ASTM D2855 solvent cementing procedures. Use CPVC-compatible primer and cement to form a fused joint. Allow proper curing time per manufacturer specifications before pressure testing. Not intended for use with compressed air or gases.

Typical Applications

The CPVC tee fitting is commonly used in:

• Hot and cold potable water distribution
• Hydronic heating systems (non-metallic loop connections)
• Low-pressure chemical delivery systems where CPVC is compatible

Note:

CPVC should not be used in systems exceeding its rated temperature or pressure, and it must be protected from UV exposure unless otherwise specified.

For projects requiring a reliable, thermoplastic solution that meets code for potable systems and provides consistent branch flow performance, the 1/2" CPVC Tee is a field-proven fitting engineered for long service life under pressure.
