Nomaco PESFT34 Socket Fusion Tee 3/4 Inch Ips

Product Description

The NOMACO PESFT34 is a 3/4 inch IPS socket fusion tee designed for joining polyethylene piping systems using the socket fusion welding process. This fitting creates a permanent, leak-free branch connection by heat-fusing the pipe directly into the socket ends. It is used in buried and above-ground PE piping applications where a reliable tee connection is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on water distribution, geothermal, or gas service lines typically install this type of fitting using dedicated socket fusion tooling.

This tee is sized for 3/4 inch IPS (Iron Pipe Size) polyethylene pipe and is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations. Socket fusion fittings are commonly used in applications where threaded or mechanical connections are not preferred, including potable water systems, irrigation, and low-pressure fluid transport. The IPS sizing makes this fitting compatible with standard PE piping used across a wide range of utility and service piping projects.

Key Features

• Socket fusion end connections for permanent, heat-fused joints
• Tee configuration allows a branch connection off a main run
• 3/4 inch IPS sizing matches standard polyethylene pipe dimensions
• Designed for use with polyethylene pipe in buried or above-ground service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for 3/4 inch IPS polyethylene piping systems requiring a socket fusion tee connection.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter familiar with socket fusion procedures. All pressure must be relieved and the system depressurized before cutting into an existing line. Proper socket fusion tooling — including a fusion iron, depth gauge, and pipe cutter — must be used to ensure correct melt depth and joint integrity. Follow ASTM F1056 or applicable local code requirements for socket fusion assembly and cooling times.
