Spears 801-337 Pvc Sch 80 Socket Reducing Tee 3x1.5 in

Product Description

The SPEARS 801-337 is a Schedule 80 PVC socket reducing tee designed for pressure piping systems requiring a branch reduction. The fitting connects a 3-inch run to a 1-1/2-inch branch outlet using solvent-weld socket connections on all three ports. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure ratings and impact resistance compared to Schedule 40, making this tee appropriate for industrial, chemical, and commercial plumbing applications where system pressures or fluid types demand heavier-duty fittings. The fitting weighs 1.44 pounds and is manufactured from PVC.

This reducing tee is used in residential and commercial piping systems where a main 3-inch line requires a reduced 1-1/2-inch branch takeoff. Typical applications include process piping, irrigation headers, chemical distribution, and industrial drain or supply lines. It is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working in systems that benefit from PVC's corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility. The socket-style connection requires solvent cement and primer applied per manufacturer and code requirements.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for higher pressure ratings than Schedule 40
• Socket (solvent-weld) connections on all three ports for secure, leak-resistant joints
• Reducing configuration: 3-inch run with 1-1/2-inch branch outlet
• PVC material offers corrosion resistance and broad chemical compatibility
• Suitable for pressure piping, irrigation, and industrial fluid handling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with Schedule 80 PVC piping systems using 3-inch and 1-1/2-inch socket connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC. Depressurize and drain the system completely before cutting into any existing line. Use the appropriate PVC solvent cement and primer rated for Schedule 80 fittings, and allow full cure time before pressurizing the system. Do not use this fitting with pipe schedules, materials, or solvents outside its rated specifications.
