Nibco CC02800 Polypropylene Socket Tee 3/4 in Sch 80

Product Description

The NIBCO CC02800 is a 3/4-inch Schedule 80 polypropylene socket tee designed for use in industrial and commercial piping systems where chemical resistance and pressure rating are priorities. This black polypropylene fitting uses a socket connection on all three ends (S x S x S), allowing it to be solvent-welded into thermoplastic pipe runs. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides higher pressure capability than Schedule 40, making this fitting appropriate for more demanding fluid-handling applications. Plumbers and industrial pipefitters install this tee to branch off a main 3/4-inch line at a 90-degree split.

This fitting is suited for use in chemical process lines, industrial plumbing, and specialty fluid systems where standard metal or PVC fittings are not appropriate. Polypropylene construction resists a broad range of acids, bases, and solvents, making it a common choice in laboratory plumbing, wastewater treatment, and agricultural chemical distribution systems. Its black color indicates polypropylene material, distinguishing it from PVC and CPVC fittings in the field.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure rating compared to Schedule 40
• S x S x S socket connections on all three ends for solvent-welded joints
• Polypropylene construction for broad chemical resistance
• Black color for quick material identification in the field
• 3/4-inch fitting size for standard branch connections in residential and light commercial systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for Schedule 80 polypropylene pipe systems using 3/4-inch socket connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter familiar with thermoplastic solvent-welding procedures. Shut off flow and depressurize the line fully before cutting into existing pipe. Use only solvent cement rated for polypropylene — standard PVC or CPVC cements are not compatible with polypropylene. Follow applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements for plastic piping in the intended service environment.
