Ipex 9801248A Cpvc Sch 80 Reducing Tee 2x3/4 in

Product Description

The IPEX 9801248A is a CPVC Schedule 80 reducing tee fitting designed for use in pressure piping systems where a perpendicular reducing branch connection is required. Configured in a 2 inches by 3/4 inches socket by socket by socket arrangement, this fitting joins two full-size run ends to a smaller branch outlet using solvent welding. Rated for a maximum service temperature of 200 degrees F under pressure, with occasional exposure to boiling water at 212 degrees F, it suits demanding hot and cold water distribution, industrial process lines, and chemical handling applications where metal corrosion is a concern. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers.

This tee is suited for residential and commercial plumbing and industrial piping systems that use CPVC Schedule 80 pipe. It is designed for installations requiring a reduction in branch line diameter off the main run, such as distribution headers, process water lines, and chemical feed systems. Its solvent-weld socket connections integrate directly into existing Xirtec CPVC piping runs. The 2-inch run with a 3/4-inch branch outlet makes it a practical choice for trunk-and-branch plumbing layouts.

Key Features

• Maximum service temperature of 200 degrees F under pressure, with occasional exposure to boiling water at 212 degrees F
• Design stress of 2,000 psi at 73 degrees F for reliable pressure-rated performance
• CPVC material will not rust, pit, scale, or corrode on interior or exterior surfaces
• Schedule 80 wall thickness provides added pressure capacity and impact resistance versus Schedule 40
• Solvent-weld socket ends for a permanent, leak-free connection using standard CPVC cement and primer
• Requires less than half the energy to produce compared to equivalent carbon steel or steel alloy fittings

Compatibility

Designed for use with CPVC Schedule 80 pipe in Xirtec CPVC piping systems using solvent-weld socket connections. Consult applicable system drawings and local codes to confirm run and branch pipe sizing before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Depressurize and drain the system completely before cutting into an existing line. Use CPVC-rated primer and solvent cement only — do not use PVC cement on CPVC fittings. Allow the solvent-weld joint to cure fully before restoring pressure, following the cement manufacturer's cure-time guidelines.
