Nibco CC02850 1 in Schedule 80 Polypropylene Socket Tee

Product Description

The NIBCO CC02850 is a Schedule 80 polypropylene socket tee designed for plastic piping systems in industrial, chemical, and commercial plumbing applications. This black polypropylene fitting accepts socket-style end connections on all three ports (S x S x S), allowing a branch takeoff from a main run without threaded joints. Rated for service from 73 degrees F up to 180 degrees F, it handles elevated temperatures that would compromise standard Schedule 40 fittings. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this tee where corrosion resistance, chemical compatibility, and pressure ratings are priorities over metal fittings.

The CC02850 fits 1-inch polypropylene pipe and is suited for residential and light commercial systems handling corrosive fluids, process water, or chemical drainage. Its Schedule 80 wall thickness provides additional pressure-bearing capacity compared to Schedule 40 construction, making it appropriate for higher-demand service lines. This fitting is commonly installed in chemical feed systems, industrial process piping, and corrosion-resistant drain or vent configurations where metal fittings are not suitable.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for increased pressure capacity versus Schedule 40
• Polypropylene construction provides strong resistance to corrosive chemicals and acids
• S x S x S socket end connections on all three ports for solvent or fusion joining
• Operating temperature range of 73 degrees F to 180 degrees F
• Black color aids UV identification and is standard for Schedule 80 polypropylene fittings
• Meets ASTM D4101 material standard for polypropylene plastic pipe fittings

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation of polypropylene socket fittings should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before cutting into any existing piping. Polypropylene socket fittings require compatible solvent cement or heat fusion equipment rated for polypropylene — do not substitute PVC or CPVC cements. Verify the operating temperature and pressure of the system are within the rated limits of this fitting before returning to service.
