Pro-source 90380600009 Pvc Tee 1/2 in Sch 80 Fipt

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE 90380600009 is a Schedule 80 PVC pipe tee in 1/2-inch size with female iron pipe thread (FIPT) connections on all three ports. Schedule 80 PVC carries a thicker wall than Schedule 40, making it suitable for higher-pressure applications in chemical, industrial, and plumbing systems. The all-FIPT end connections allow the fitting to thread directly onto male-threaded pipe or nipples without the need for solvent welding at the joint. Plumbers and pipefitters working in corrosive environments or above-ground pressure systems are the primary installers of this fitting.

This tee is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, chemical distribution, and industrial piping systems where PVC is an approved material. The 1/2-inch size makes it a common choice for branch lines and lateral connections in low-flow distribution runs. Its threaded configuration suits installations where disassembly and reassembly of sections is anticipated or required.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for increased pressure and impact resistance versus Schedule 40
• FIPT x FIPT x FIPT end connections on all three ports for threaded assembly
• 1/2-inch fitting size fits standard half-inch male-threaded pipe and nipples
• PVC material resists corrosion, rust, and many chemical media
• Lightweight at 0.37 pounds, reducing handling fatigue in repetitive installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard 1/2-inch Schedule 80 PVC threaded piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters. Shut off and depressurize the affected piping system before making any connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly; do not overtighten, as PVC threads can crack under excessive torque. Verify that local plumbing codes permit threaded Schedule 80 PVC for the intended service before installation.
