Harco 69-31100202 Hdpe Socket Fusion Tee 2 Inches

Product Description

The HARCO 69-31100202 is a 2-inch black HDPE socket fusion tee designed for water service piping systems. This fitting joins three runs of HDPE pipe using heat-fusion socket connections, creating a leak-free, fully fused joint without mechanical fasteners or adhesives. HDPE construction provides corrosion resistance and long service life in buried or above-ground water distribution applications. Plumbers and water service contractors install this fitting as part of pressure-rated polyethylene piping systems on residential and light commercial projects.

This tee is suited for potable water distribution, irrigation mainlines, and water service laterals where HDPE pipe is the specified material. Socket fusion is a common joining method in these systems, requiring a fusion iron and proper socket tooling to achieve rated joint strength. The 2-inch size fits standard IPS-dimensioned HDPE pipe and is stocked for new construction and replacement service alike.

Key Features

• 2-inch socket fusion end connections for full-bore, heat-fused joints
• HDPE material provides corrosion resistance and flexibility under ground movement
• Black color indicates UV-stabilized compound, suitable for exposed or buried installations
• Equal tee configuration allows branch takeoffs in water distribution runs
• No mechanical fasteners or solvents required — joint strength achieved through fusion

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style socket fusion fitting for use with 2-inch IPS-dimensioned HDPE water service pipe.

Installation Notes

Socket fusion fittings are installed by licensed plumbers or water service contractors using a calibrated fusion iron and properly sized socket tooling. Depressurize and isolate the water line before cutting into any existing system. Follow ASTM F2163 or the pipe manufacturer fusion procedure for correct heat time, insertion depth, and hold time. Do not disturb the joint until the cooling period specified by the tooling manufacturer is complete.
