Nibco CC03200 Polypropylene Pipe Tee 3/4 in Sch 80 Fipt

Product Description

The NIBCO CC03200 is a Schedule 80 polypropylene pipe tee designed for threaded piping systems requiring a three-way branch connection. Molded in black polypropylene, this fitting handles corrosive fluids, chemical lines, and industrial water service where metal fittings are not suitable. All three ports use female iron pipe thread (FIPT) connections, making field assembly straightforward with standard pipe wrenches and thread sealant. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides the additional pressure rating and structural integrity needed in demanding plumbing and process piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

The CC03200 is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, chemical distribution lines, irrigation systems, and industrial process piping where polypropylene's corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility are required. The FIPT x FIPT x FIPT configuration allows direct connection to male-threaded pipe ends on all three legs of the tee, making it a practical choice for branch takeoffs in both new construction and retrofit work. It is commonly installed in systems conveying acids, bases, or other fluids incompatible with metal fittings.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for elevated pressure ratings versus Schedule 40
• Polypropylene construction resists corrosion, chemicals, and scale buildup
• FIPT x FIPT x FIPT end connections accept standard male-threaded pipe on all three ports
• Black color provides UV resistance for outdoor or exposed installations
• Lightweight at 0.16 pounds, reducing handling effort during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 3/4 inch Schedule 80 polypropylene threaded piping systems using standard NPT pipe threads.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. De-pressurize and drain the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for polypropylene and the specific fluid service. Do not overtighten threaded plastic fittings, as polypropylene threads can crack under excessive torque.
