Bd Manufacturing SPT444 Straight Tee Fitting 3/4 Inches Socket Fusion

Product Description

The BD MANUFACTURING SPT444 is a straight tee fitting designed for polyethylene piping systems joined by socket fusion. Rated to SDR11 wall thickness, this fitting accepts 3/4 inches pipe on all three ports and is built for reliable performance in pressurized fluid distribution lines. Socket fusion connections create a homogeneous molecular bond between fitting and pipe, eliminating mechanical joints that can loosen over time. Licensed plumbers and pipe fusion technicians install this type of fitting in both new construction and retrofit work on underground or above-grade PE piping systems.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications where SDR11 polyethylene pipe is specified. Common install scenarios include water service lines, geothermal loop systems, irrigation mains, and other fluid distribution systems requiring a dependable equal-run tee at 3/4 inches. All three socket fusion ports accept standard 3/4 inches PE pipe fused with the appropriate socket fusion tool set to the correct tool temperature for the pipe material and SDR rating.

Key Features

• Straight tee configuration with equal 3/4 inches nominal size on all three ports
• Socket fusion end connections on all three ports for a continuous, leak-free molecular bond
• SDR11 wall thickness rating for pressurized polyethylene piping systems
• Equal-run tee geometry allows full-bore flow distribution with no port reduction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for SDR11 polyethylene piping systems using 3/4 inches socket fusion connections.

Installation Notes

Socket fusion fittings are installed by licensed plumbers or certified pipe fusion technicians using dedicated socket fusion tooling. Shut off and depressurize the water or fluid system completely before cutting into any existing line. Pipe and fitting surfaces must be clean, dry, and free of burrs before fusion; follow the pipe manufacturer's heating time and cooling time guidelines for SDR11 PE pipe at the applicable ambient temperature. Do not disturb a fused joint until the full cooling period has elapsed.
