2 Inch CPVC Tee – Socket x Socket x Socket, Schedule 80

The 2 Inch CPVC Tee (Socket x Socket x Socket) is a rigid thermoplastic fitting used to join three lines in CPVC piping systems at 90-degree angles. Manufactured from chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC), this tee is designed for use in both hot and cold water pressure applications, and meets applicable ASTM dimensional and performance standards for potable water distribution and mechanical systems.

Material and Performance Characteristics

This fitting is fabricated from CPVC compound conforming to ASTM D1784 (Cell Classification 23447) and is compatible with Schedule 80 CPVC pipe systems. It is suitable for solvent cement welding and is commonly installed in pressure-rated plumbing and hydronic distribution applications:

• ✅ Material: CPVC (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride), suitable for potable water and chemical resistance
• ✅ Connection Ends: Socket x Socket x Socket (solvent weld)
• ✅ Maximum Working Pressure: 100 PSI at 180°F (based on pipe and system design)
• ✅ Applicable Standards: ASTM D2467, NSF/ANSI 14, NSF/ANSI 61, and NSF 372 (lead-free)

Installation Requirements

Use CPVC solvent cement and primer certified to ASTM F493 for proper joint assembly. Pipe ends should be square-cut, deburred, and dry-fit before applying primer and cement. Observe curing times prior to pressurization. Installation should comply with local plumbing codes and system pressure-temperature ratings.

Applications

• ✅ Potable Water Distribution: Suitable for hot and cold water supply in residential, commercial, and institutional buildings
• ✅ Hydronic Systems: Can be used in closed-loop heating systems within design temperature/pressure ranges
• ✅ Corrosive Media Transport: CPVC is chemically resistant to many acids, salts, and bases, allowing use in specialty process lines

Common Use Scenarios

This 2 inch CPVC tee is typically installed in main supply lines where branch outlets are needed for fixture supply, manifold distribution, or looped system configurations. It is appropriate for both new installations and system retrofits where pressure-rated thermoplastic fittings are specified.

Material Advantages

CPVC fittings offer superior resistance to internal corrosion, scaling, and microbial growth. Their thermal stability and strength under elevated temperature conditions make them a preferred choice over traditional metallic fittings in many engineered piping systems.

The 2 Inch CPVC Socket Tee is a high-performance component intended for use in pressure-rated fluid handling systems where compliance with current plumbing codes and long-term material integrity are critical.
