Nomaco PEBFT112 Butt Fusion Tee 1-1/2 Inches

Product Description

The NOMACO PEBFT112 is a 1-1/2 inch butt fusion tee fitting designed for polyethylene piping systems. This tee provides a thermally fused, leak-free branch connection in PE pipe networks. Installation requires a butt fusion welding machine to heat and join the fitting ends to matching-diameter PE pipe. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and utility contractors working on geothermal loops, municipal water distribution, irrigation mains, or industrial fluid systems typically specify this type of fitting where mechanical joints are not acceptable.

Butt fusion tees in this size class are common in residential and light commercial applications requiring a reliable, monolithic branch connection. The 1-1/2 inch nominal size suits main runs and branch takeoffs in hydronic, potable water, and non-potable water systems where polyethylene pipe is the specified material. No threading, solvent cement, or compression hardware is required at the joint.

Key Features

• 1-1/2 inch nominal butt fusion end connections for PE pipe
• Thermally fused joint eliminates mechanical leak points at the tee
• Equal-outlet tee configuration for straight branch connections
• Compatible with standard butt fusion welding equipment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fitting for 1-1/2 inch polyethylene piping systems requiring a butt fusion tee connection.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a trained fusion technician using a properly sized butt fusion welding machine set to the pipe manufacturer's recommended fusion parameters. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before cutting in or replacing any fitting. Follow applicable plumbing codes and ASTM or AWWA fusion procedures for PE pipe jointing. Do not attempt heat fusion in wet or freezing conditions without proper environmental controls.
