Ipex 36789 Pvc Sch 80 Reducing Socket Tee 1x3/4 in

Product Description

The IPEX 36789 is a Schedule 80 PVC reducing socket tee fitting designed for industrial and commercial piping systems. This 1 inch by 3/4 inch tee provides a branch outlet connection while reducing flow from the main run, making it a core component in pressure-rated PVC distribution systems. Rated for a maximum service temperature of 140 degrees F in pressure service and 180 degrees F during intermittent gravity flow, it meets the demands of chemical process, industrial fluid handling, and water distribution applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting using solvent-cement socket connections conforming to Schedule 80 dimensional standards.

This fitting is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, chemical process lines, and industrial fluid systems where corrosion resistance and long service life are required. Its smooth interior bore resists rust, scaling, and pitting across a broad range of service media including most acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens. It is listed with the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) and CSA International for use with potable water, expanding its application range to municipal and building water supply systems.

Key Features

• Maximum service temperature of 140 degrees F in pressure service and 180 degrees F for intermittent gravity flow
• Smooth interior bore resists rust, pitting, scale, and corrosion across virtually all listed services
• Resistant to most acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens
• NSF and CSA International listed for potable water service
• Schedule 80 wall thickness provides higher pressure ratings than Schedule 40 equivalents
• Lower embodied energy than comparable steel or steel-alloy fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 PVC piping systems using 1 inch main run pipe with a 3/4 inch branch outlet, compatible with standard solvent-cement socket assembly methods per ASTM D2467 dimensional requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Depressurize and drain the system fully before cutting into any existing line. Use only Schedule 80-rated PVC solvent cement and primer appropriate for the service media and ambient temperature. Do not apply mechanical force or torque to socket joints before cement has fully cured per the cement manufacturer's cure schedule.
