Ipex 9801101 Cpvc Sch 80 Reducing Tee 3/4 X 1/2 Inches

Product Description

The IPEX 9801101 is a Schedule 80 CPVC reducing tee fitting used to create a perpendicular branch connection off a main piping run. All three openings use socket connections joined by solvent welding, making it compatible with standard CPVC cementing procedures. The run ports measure 3/4 inches and the branch outlet measures 1/2 inches. Rated for a maximum service temperature of 200 degrees F under pressure, with occasional tolerance for brief exposure to boiling water at 212 degrees F, this fitting suits hot and cold water distribution systems. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in commercial and residential applications where a step-down branch is needed.

This reducing tee is designed for use in CPVC pressure piping systems where a 3/4-inch main line requires a 1/2-inch branch takeoff. Typical applications include domestic hot and cold water supply, industrial process lines, and chemical distribution systems where CPVC material is specified. The solvent-weld socket design integrates directly into standard Schedule 80 CPVC piping systems. Installation follows conventional cement-and-primer procedures used throughout commercial plumbing and light industrial piping work.

Key Features

• Maximum service temperature of 200 degrees F under pressure, with brief tolerance to 212 degrees F
• CPVC material rated at a design stress of 2,000 psi at 73 degrees F
• Three-socket solvent-weld connection on all ports for secure, leak-resistant joints
• CPVC construction resists rust, pitting, scaling, and corrosion on interior and exterior surfaces
• Requires significantly less energy to produce compared to equivalent carbon steel or steel alloy fittings
• Maintenance-free service life under normal operating conditions

Compatibility

Designed for use with CPVC Schedule 80 piping systems using a 3/4-inch main run and 1/2-inch branch. Intended for use within the Xirtec CPVC piping system and compatible Schedule 80 CPVC pipe and fittings joined by solvent cement.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the water supply line completely before cutting into an existing run. Use CPVC-rated primer and solvent cement only — do not substitute PVC cement, as it is not rated for CPVC material. Allow full cure time per the cement manufacturer's instructions before restoring pressure to the system.
