Nomaco PESFT1 Socket Fusion Tee 1 Inch Ips

Product Description

The NOMACO PESFT1 is a 1-inch IPS socket fusion tee designed for polyethylene piping systems. This fitting joins PE pipe at a branch point using the socket fusion process, which creates a permanent, leak-free bond without mechanical fasteners or adhesives. It is sized for IPS-dimensioned pipe and suited for buried or above-ground service runs in water distribution, geothermal loops, and similar fluid-handling systems. Licensed plumbers and pipe fusion technicians are the primary installers of this fitting type.

The PESFT1 is used in residential and light commercial PE piping applications where a branch connection is required. Socket fusion fittings at this size are common in potable water service lines, irrigation supply mains, geothermal ground loops, and radiant heating supply and return circuits. This fitting accepts 1-inch IPS-dimensioned polyethylene pipe on all three ports and is installed using a standard socket fusion tool set at manufacturer-specified face temperature.

Key Features

• Socket fusion end connections create a homogeneous, leak-free bond at all three ports
• 1-inch IPS sizing compatible with standard-dimension PE pipe
• Tee configuration allows inline branch connections without additional couplings
• No mechanical fasteners or solvent cement required
• Suitable for buried and above-grade service in fluid distribution systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for 1-inch IPS-dimensioned polyethylene pipe systems using the socket fusion joining method.

Installation Notes

Socket fusion fittings are installed by licensed plumbers or certified PE pipe fusion technicians. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system before cutting in the new tee. Use a properly calibrated socket fusion tool heated to the appropriate face temperature for the pipe material and wall thickness. Follow ASTM F1056 or the pipe manufacturer joining procedure for heat soak and fusion hold times. Do not disturb the joint until the cooling period is complete.
