Nibco CC03000 3 in Socket Tee Polypropylene Schedule 80

Product Description

The NIBCO CC03000 is a 3-inch Schedule 80 polypropylene socket tee designed for pressure-rated piping systems that require corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility. Configured with three socket (S) end connections, this fitting accepts pipe into each hub for solvent-cement or heat-fusion joining depending on the system design. The black polypropylene construction handles a wide range of aggressive fluids, making it well-suited for industrial and chemical process applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of thermoplastic piping systems where metal fittings are not appropriate due to corrosive media or weight constraints.

This fitting is used in residential and commercial plumbing systems, chemical distribution lines, and industrial process piping wherever Schedule 80 polypropylene pipe is specified. The tee configuration allows a branch takeoff at 90 degrees from the main run, accommodating flow distribution or collection points in the piping layout. Its black coloring is standard for polypropylene Schedule 80 fittings and aids in visual differentiation from PVC or CPVC components on the job site.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 pressure rating for higher-pressure thermoplastic piping applications
• Three socket (S x S x S) end connections for consistent joining along the main run and branch outlet
• Polypropylene construction resists a broad range of acids, bases, and chemicals
• Black color finish standard for Schedule 80 polypropylene fittings
• 3-inch fitting size for larger-diameter distribution and process piping runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fitting for Schedule 80 polypropylene piping systems using 3-inch socket-end connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before cutting into an existing line. Polypropylene socket fittings require compatible solvent cement or heat-fusion equipment rated for polypropylene material — do not use PVC or CPVC cement on this fitting. Verify that the pipe schedule and material are compatible with the fitting before making joints.
