Spears 54211168738 Sch 80 Pvc Socket Tee 1/2 in

Product Description

The SPEARS 54211168738 is a Schedule 80/XH molded PVC socket tee designed for pressure piping applications in plumbing, industrial, and chemical distribution systems. At a nominal size of 1/2 inch with a socket end style, this fitting accepts solvent-welded connections on all three ports. The gray PVC construction meets Schedule 80 wall thickness requirements, providing higher pressure ratings and greater impact resistance compared to Schedule 40 fittings. Manufactured domestically, this tee measures 2-15/16 inches in length and is produced using a molded manufacturing process for consistent dimensional tolerances. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in both above-ground and below-ground pressure systems.

This fitting is suited for residential and commercial pressure piping installations where Schedule 80 PVC is specified. Typical applications include cold water supply lines, irrigation distribution, chemical process piping, and industrial fluid handling where PVC is chemically compatible with the media. The socket end configuration requires solvent cement joining, making it a standard choice when connecting to Schedule 80 PVC pipe in confined or inline runs. Its compact 1/2 inch nominal size fits common branch take-off configurations in small-diameter pressure systems.

Key Features

• Schedule 80/XH wall thickness rating for elevated pressure service
• Socket end style on all three ports for solvent-cement connections
• Molded gray PVC construction for dimensional consistency and chemical resistance
• 1/2 inch nominal size fits standard small-diameter pressure piping runs
• Domestically manufactured to standard pressure fitting specifications
• Pressure-type fitting rated for inline branch service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 PVC pressure piping systems using 1/2 inch nominal pipe with socket-style connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Depressurize and drain the system completely before cutting into any existing piping. Clean and dry all socket surfaces before applying PVC primer and Schedule 80-rated solvent cement per the cement manufacturer's instructions. Allow full cure time before returning the system to service or applying pressure.
