Nomaco PESFT112 Ips Socket Fusion Tee 1-1/2 Inches

Product Description

The NOMACO PESFT112 is a 1-1/2 inch IPS socket fusion tee designed for polyethylene piping systems joined by heat fusion. This fitting creates a branch connection in a PE pipeline using the socket fusion method, where pipe ends and fitting sockets are simultaneously heated with a fusion tool and then joined under controlled pressure to form a leak-free, monolithic bond. It is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on water distribution, geothermal loop, or industrial fluid-handling systems where threaded or mechanical fittings are not suitable.

This tee is sized to the IPS (Iron Pipe Size) standard at 1-1/2 inches, making it compatible with polyethylene pipe manufactured to IPS OD dimensions. Typical applications include residential and light commercial water service lines, underground irrigation systems, and geothermal ground loop piping. The socket fusion design is well suited for installations requiring a permanent, pressure-rated branch connection without the need for mechanical fasteners or solvents.

Key Features

• Socket fusion joint eliminates mechanical connectors and creates a fully fused, monolithic connection
• IPS dimensioning at 1-1/2 inches for compatibility with standard IPS OD polyethylene pipe
• Tee configuration provides a branch outlet in a straight run of PE pipe
• Designed for underground and buried service where joint integrity is critical

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-1/2 inch IPS OD polyethylene piping systems using the socket fusion joining method.

Installation Notes

Socket fusion fittings must be installed by a qualified plumber or pipefitter trained in polyethylene fusion procedures. The pipe and fitting surfaces must be clean and dry before heating; contamination will compromise joint integrity. Use a properly calibrated socket fusion tool set to the temperature specified for the pipe material and wall thickness. Consult applicable plumbing codes, including the IPC, for burial depth, pressure rating requirements, and inspection procedures before placing the joint in service.
