Nibco CC03450 Poly Pipe Tee 3 in Sch 80 Fipt

Product Description

The NIBCO CC03450 is a Schedule 80 polypropylene pipe tee designed for three-way branch connections in fluid handling systems. It features full female iron pipe thread (FIPT) connections on all three ports, making it compatible with standard threaded pipe assemblies without solvent welding or special tooling. At 3 inches, this fitting handles larger-diameter runs common in industrial, chemical, and heavy commercial plumbing applications. The black polypropylene construction offers resistance to many chemicals and corrosive fluids, making it a practical choice where metal fittings would degrade. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this component.

This tee is suited for Schedule 80 threaded piping systems in commercial and industrial environments where chemical resistance and durability are required. Typical applications include chemical processing lines, irrigation manifolds, industrial drainage, and non-potable fluid distribution. The FIPT x FIPT x FIPT configuration allows direct threading onto Schedule 80 male-threaded pipe ends, simplifying branch assembly in new construction or retrofit piping layouts.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for elevated pressure and durability in demanding service conditions
• Polypropylene construction provides resistance to a broad range of chemicals and corrosive fluids
• All three ports feature FIPT connections for straightforward threaded assembly
• 3-inch fitting size suitable for larger-diameter branch piping runs
• Black color aids in visual identification of polypropylene piping systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 threaded polypropylene piping systems using 3-inch FIPT 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 fully before removing any existing fittings or making new connections. Use appropriate thread sealant rated for polypropylene and the specific fluid service. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as polypropylene threads can crack under excessive torque.
