Nibco CC03150 Poly Pipe Tee 1/2 in Sch 80 Fipt

Product Description

The NIBCO CC03150 is a Schedule 80 polypropylene pipe tee designed for use in pressure piping systems that require chemical resistance and durability beyond what standard thermoplastic fittings provide. The tee measures 1/2 inch and features female iron pipe thread (FIPT) connections on all three ports, allowing threaded pipe or fittings to be joined at a branch point. Rated for a maximum working temperature of 180 degrees F, this fitting suits hot-water and chemical-distribution applications where standard PVC would be inadequate. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in both new construction and retrofit work. The black polypropylene body meets ASTM D4101 material standards.

This tee is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, chemical process lines, and industrial fluid distribution systems where corrosion resistance and elevated temperature performance are required. The all-thread FIPT configuration makes it compatible with standard NPT-threaded pipe, nipples, and valves. It is commonly installed in systems carrying water, mild acids, bases, or other fluids compatible with polypropylene. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides added pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40 equivalents, making it appropriate for higher-pressure service lines.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 polypropylene construction for increased pressure ratings versus Schedule 40
• FIPT x FIPT x FIPT end connections accept standard NPT-threaded pipe and fittings
• Rated up to 180 degrees F maximum working temperature
• Minimum working temperature of 73 degrees F
• Black polypropylene material resists corrosion and many chemical media
• Meets ASTM D4101 polypropylene material standard

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM standards. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing any existing fittings. Apply thread sealant tape or compound rated for use with polypropylene on all NPT threads before assembly. Avoid over-torquing threaded connections, as polypropylene is more susceptible to thread damage than metal fittings.
