Georg Fischer 801-247 Reducing Tee 2x1/2 Inch Socket Pvc

Product Description

The GEORG FISCHER 801-247 is a PVC reducing tee fitting designed for socket-connection piping systems. It joins a 2-inch main line to a 1/2-inch branch outlet, allowing flow distribution or service takeoffs within a pressurized or gravity-fed PVC pipeline. The socket ends accept standard solvent-welded PVC pipe. This type of fitting is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on commercial, industrial, or residential water distribution, chemical handling, or irrigation systems where PVC is the specified pipe material.

The 801-247 is suited for applications where a single run of 2-inch PVC pipe requires a reduced branch connection at 1/2 inch. Typical installations include main distribution headers, process water lines, and irrigation manifolds. Socket-style fittings of this configuration are commonly found in both above-ground and below-ground systems where solvent-cement joints are the required connection method per applicable plumbing codes.

Key Features

• Reducing tee configuration: 2-inch run with 1/2-inch branch outlet
• Socket connection ends for solvent-cement assembly
• PVC construction for corrosion resistance in water and chemical service
• Sold as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard schedule PVC piping systems using socket solvent-cement connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Depressurize and drain the line completely before cutting into an existing system. Use only compatible PVC solvent cement and primer rated for the service conditions; follow manufacturer cure times before returning the line to service. Do not apply heat to socket joints during assembly.
