Pro-source 90380601109 Pvc Tee 8 in Schedule 80 Fipt

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE 90380601109 is an 8-inch Schedule 80 PVC pipe tee designed for joining three sections of PVC piping at a branch point in pressurized or drain systems. Constructed from rigid PVC, this fitting delivers chemical resistance and durability suited to industrial, commercial, and municipal plumbing applications. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure tolerance than Schedule 40, making it appropriate for demanding service conditions. All three ports use female iron pipe thread (FIPT) end connections, accepting threaded male pipe ends for secure, leak-resistant assembly. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting.

This tee is commonly used in commercial and industrial plumbing systems, chemical processing lines, irrigation infrastructure, and water treatment piping where corrosion resistance and moderate-to-high pressure ratings are required. The 8-inch size suits main distribution lines rather than branch or fixture-level connections. FIPT connections allow direct threaded assembly without solvent welding, which can be advantageous in installations requiring future disassembly or in-field modification. The fitting weighs 24.22 pounds, which should be factored into handling and support bracket planning during rough-in.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for greater wall thickness and pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40
• 8-inch fitting size for main distribution and large-diameter branch connections
• FIPT x FIPT x FIPT end connections on all three ports for threaded male pipe engagement
• PVC material provides resistance to corrosion, many chemicals, and moisture
• Single-piece molded tee body with no internal seams or mechanical joints

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with 8-inch Schedule 80 PVC piping systems using FIPT threaded connections in commercial, industrial, and municipal plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before removing any existing fitting or making new connections. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe-thread compound rated for PVC and the intended service fluid to all male threads before engaging the FIPT ports. At 24.22 pounds, this fitting requires proper support during installation to avoid stress on adjacent piping.
