Spears 54211166888 Pvc Reducing Tee Sch 80 1-1/2x1-1/2x1/2 in

Product Description

The SPEARS 54211166888 is a Schedule 80 PVC reducing tee fitting designed for pressure piping systems where a branch connection of a smaller diameter is required. Manufactured by Spears Manufacturing using a molded construction process, this gray PVC fitting accepts socket-end connections on all three ports. The run measures 1-1/2 inches on both ends while the branch outlet reduces to 1/2 inch, making it well suited for diverting flow to a smaller lateral line. At 0.33 pounds and 3-15/16 inches in length, it is a compact, rigid fitting intended for installation by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in domestic piping applications.

This reducing tee is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, and industrial process piping where Schedule 80 pressure ratings are specified. The socket end style is compatible with solvent-cement joining methods standard to PVC pressure fittings. Typical applications include main-line branch takeoffs, chemical handling systems, and water distribution runs requiring a reduction from a 1-1/2 inch main to a 1/2 inch branch. This is a domestically manufactured fitting produced in the United States.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements.
