Romac 271-09100910070016 Fusion Bonded Epoxy Tee 8 in

Product Description

The ROMAC 271-09100910070016 is a fusion bonded epoxy-coated ductile iron tee fitting from the Alpha collection, designed for potable water distribution and municipal piping systems. Built to handle straight tee configurations at 8 inches across all three ports, this fitting combines a ductile iron body with stainless steel hardware and SBR rubber sealing components. The fusion bonded epoxy interior coating meets NSF 61 and NSF 372 standards, making it suitable for contact with drinking water systems. Licensed plumbers and waterworks contractors install this fitting during new main installations and main repairs where a full-size branch connection is required.

This fitting is engineered for use in water distribution infrastructure, including municipal water mains, utility connections, and industrial water supply networks. Its 8-inch straight tee configuration is a common size in both new construction and rehabilitation projects. The NSF-certified coating and UL listing meet the compliance requirements typically specified by water utilities and municipal engineers. Installation in buried or exposed waterworks applications is appropriate given the corrosion-resistant epoxy finish.

Key Features

• Fusion bonded epoxy coating provides corrosion resistance for water service environments
• NSF 61 and NSF 372 certified for safe contact with potable water
• UL Listed for added compliance in utility and municipal applications
• Ductile iron body meets ASTM A-536 65-45-12 for high-strength performance
• SBR rubber sealing components conform to ASTM D-2000 specifications
• 304 stainless steel hardware resists corrosion in buried and wet environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 8-inch ductile iron waterworks piping systems meeting ANSI and AWWA dimensional standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or certified waterworks contractor in accordance with local plumbing codes and AWWA guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the water main before cutting in or making connections. Inspect all rubber gaskets and seating surfaces for damage before assembly. Do not use pipe dope or thread sealants on mechanical joint or push-on interfaces designed for rubber gasket sealing.
