Georg Fischer 801-080 8 in Sch 80 Pvc Tee Sxsxs

Product Description

The GEORG FISCHER 801-080 is a Schedule 80 PVC tee fitting designed for pressure-rated piping systems. It features a socket x socket x socket (SxSxS) configuration in an 8-inch size, providing a three-way branch connection in rigid thermoplastic piping runs. At 20.47 pounds, this is a substantial fitting suited for industrial, commercial, and heavy-duty plumbing applications. Schedule 80 PVC wall thickness provides increased pressure handling capacity compared to Schedule 40, making it the preferred choice where system pressures or mechanical loads demand a stronger fitting. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers.

This fitting is used in commercial and industrial plumbing, irrigation, chemical handling, and process piping systems where PVC is the specified material. The SxSxS socket configuration accepts solvent-cemented pipe connections on all three ports, making it suitable for permanent, leak-tight branch lines. Its 8-inch diameter makes it appropriate for large-diameter mainline branch-offs in high-flow systems such as municipal water distribution, industrial process lines, or large commercial plumbing infrastructure.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for increased pressure and mechanical load ratings versus Schedule 40
• 8-inch socket x socket x socket (SxSxS) configuration for solvent-cemented permanent connections
• PVC material offers corrosion resistance and compatibility with a wide range of fluids
• Heavyweight fitting at 20.47 pounds, reflecting full Schedule 80 wall thickness throughout
• Three-way branch design allows mainline continuation with a perpendicular branch outlet

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fitting for use with 8-inch Schedule 80 PVC pipe in solvent-cemented pressure piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC or local authority having jurisdiction. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before cutting into any existing line. Use only Schedule 80-rated PVC solvent cement and primer appropriate for the pipe diameter and service conditions. Allow full cure time per the cement manufacturer instructions before restoring pressure to the system.
