Pro-source 90340600709 3 in Cpvc Tee Sch 80 Fipt

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE 90340600709 is a Schedule 80 CPVC pipe tee sized at 3 inches with female iron pipe thread (FIPT) end connections on all three ports. CPVC (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride) construction provides resistance to corrosion, scale buildup, and a broad range of chemical fluids, making it a dependable choice for industrial and commercial piping systems. The Schedule 80 wall thickness delivers greater pressure tolerance compared to Schedule 40 fittings of the same diameter. This tee is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on fluid distribution, chemical process lines, and industrial plant piping where threaded CPVC connections are specified.

This fitting is suited for commercial and industrial applications where corrosion-resistant thermoplastic piping is required. Typical installations include chemical distribution headers, process water systems, and industrial fluid handling lines that specify CPVC Schedule 80 components. The 3-inch size accommodates high-flow main line or branch configurations. All three ports use FIPT connections, allowing the fitting to thread directly onto male-threaded pipe or nipples without solvent cementing at the joint interface.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings versus Schedule 40
• CPVC material resists corrosion, oxidation, and many industrial chemicals
• FIPT x FIPT x FIPT end connections on all three ports for fully threaded assembly
• 3-inch fitting size suitable for large-diameter branch or header configurations
• Weighs 3.63 pounds — substantial CPVC construction for demanding service environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 CPVC threaded piping systems using 3-inch nominal pipe size.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before cutting into any existing line. Use CPVC-rated thread sealant or tape on all male threads before making up each joint; do not use standard PVC solvent cement on threaded CPVC fittings. Avoid over-tightening threaded connections, as CPVC is susceptible to stress cracking at the threads when excessive torque is applied.
