Nibco CC02900 Polypropylene Socket Tee 1-1/2 in Sch 80

Product Description

The NIBCO CC02900 is a Schedule 80 polypropylene socket tee fitting designed for joining branch connections in plastic piping systems. Rated for Schedule 80 service, this tee accepts socket-style connections on all three ends (S x S x S), allowing a solvent-weld or socket-fusion installation depending on the system requirements. The black polypropylene construction provides solid chemical resistance and durability in demanding industrial, commercial, and process piping applications. At 0.43 pounds, the fitting is lightweight and easy to handle during installation. Licensed plumbers and piping contractors typically specify this type of fitting where Schedule 80 plastic systems are required.

This socket tee is suited for use in industrial process piping, chemical handling systems, and commercial plumbing installations where polypropylene Schedule 80 fittings are specified. The 1-1/2 inch size fits standard 1-1/2 inch plastic pipe and is commonly used in branch takeoffs, distribution headers, and drain or vent configurations within polypropylene piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified piping contractor following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before cutting into any existing line. Proper socket preparation, including cutting square, deburring, and cleaning all mating surfaces, is critical for a leak-free joint. Follow the polypropylene solvent cement or fusion procedure specified by the system designer for this material type.
