Nomaco HDPET2 Hdpe Socket Tee 2 Inches

Product Description

The NOMACO HDPET2 is a 2-inch high-density polyethylene socket tee fitting designed for joining HDPE piping systems at a perpendicular branch point. This type of fitting is used where a run of pipe must be split or branched without reducing flow capacity. HDPE fittings are valued in trade applications for their chemical resistance, flexibility under pressure cycling, and long service life in both above-ground and buried installations. Plumbers and pipefitters install this tee as part of pressure-rated or drainage piping assemblies where a leak-free, fused socket connection is required.

The HDPET2 is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations where 2-inch HDPE pipe is specified. Typical applications include water supply lines, irrigation distribution, geothermal loop piping, and industrial fluid transfer. The socket-style end connections allow for thermal fusion joining, which produces a joint as strong as the parent pipe. This fitting is appropriate wherever a branch takeoff is needed in a 2-inch HDPE system.

Key Features

• 2-inch socket tee configuration for in-line branch connections
• High-density polyethylene construction for chemical and corrosion resistance
• Socket end connections compatible with thermal fusion joining methods
• Suitable for buried, above-ground, and enclosed piping applications
• Consistent wall thickness supports pressure-rated system integrity

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for use with 2-inch HDPE piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation of HDPE socket fittings is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters using approved thermal fusion equipment calibrated to the pipe material specifications. Power down any pressurized system and fully depressurize and drain the line before cutting into existing piping. Follow IPC and local code requirements for underground burial depth and bedding material when this fitting is used in buried applications. Do not attempt mechanical assembly without proper fusion tooling, as socket HDPE joints rely on heat fusion for a watertight connection.
