Ipex 36777 Pvc Schedule 80 Socket Tee 3 Inches

Product Description

The IPEX 36777 is a 3-inch PVC Schedule 80 Socket Tee designed for use in industrial piping systems where chemical resistance and long-term durability are required. This fitting connects three pipe runs in a tee configuration using solvent-cement socket joints. Schedule 80 PVC wall thickness meets demanding pressure requirements while keeping the interior smooth to resist rust, scaling, pitting, and corrosion over the life of the installation. Rated for service up to 140 degrees F under pressure and up to 180 degrees F for intermittent gravity flow, this tee is built for continuous service in chemically aggressive environments. Plumbing and pipefitting professionals install this fitting in chemical process, industrial fluid handling, and water treatment applications.

This fitting is suited for residential, commercial, and industrial piping systems that handle acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens. It is listed by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) and CSA International for use with potable water, expanding its range of appropriate applications. The IPEX Xirtec PVC system is engineered and manufactured to consistent dimensional standards, making it a practical solution when a single-source pipe, valves, and fittings package is required for a project.

• Outstanding chemical resistance to most acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens
• NSF and CSA International listed for potable water service

Compatibility

Designed for use within the IPEX Xirtec PVC Schedule 80 piping system. Compatible with 3-inch Schedule 80 PVC pipe joined via solvent-cement socket connections. Suitable for chemical process, industrial fluid handling, and potable water piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before cutting in or replacing any fitting. Use a PVC-rated solvent cement and primer appropriate for Schedule 80 fittings, following the cement manufacturer's cure time before returning the line to service. Do not use this fitting with pipe schedules or outside diameters outside the specified 3-inch Schedule 80 dimension.
