Nibco CC02750 Polypropylene Socket Tee 1/2 in Sch 80

Product Description

The NIBCO CC02750 is a 1/2 inch Schedule 80 polypropylene socket tee designed for use in plastic piping systems that require chemical resistance and durability beyond standard Schedule 40 fittings. This fitting connects three pipe runs in a tee configuration using socket-style end connections on all three ports (S x S x S). The thicker wall construction of Schedule 80 provides added pressure capacity and mechanical strength. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in industrial, chemical handling, and commercial plumbing systems where corrosion resistance and structural integrity are priorities.

This tee is suited for residential and commercial piping applications where polypropylene is the specified material due to its resistance to many acids, bases, and chemical solutions. The socket connection style requires solvent welding or heat fusion depending on the specific polypropylene joining method used on the job. Its black color is standard for Schedule 80 polypropylene fittings and aids in visual identification on mixed-material systems.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure and mechanical strength versus Schedule 40
• Polypropylene construction resists a wide range of corrosive chemicals
• S x S x S end connections provide uniform socket-fit on all three ports
• 1/2 inch fitting size for standard small-diameter pipe runs
• Black color standard for Schedule 80 polypropylene identification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/2 inch Schedule 80 polypropylene piping systems using socket-style connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before cutting into any existing line. Polypropylene socket fittings require the correct joining method for the specific pipe grade in use — verify whether solvent cement or heat fusion is specified before proceeding. Do not overtighten or apply mechanical stress to the fitting during assembly, as polypropylene can crack under point loading.
