Spears 802-130 Reducing Tee 1x1x1/2 in Sch 80 Pvc

Product Description

The SPEARS 802-130 is a Schedule 80 PVC reducing tee designed for pressure piping systems where branch line reduction is required in a single fitting. Nominal size is 1 x 1 x 1/2 inch, with a socket x socket x FNPT end configuration that allows solvent-welded mainline connections and a threaded branch outlet. Overall length is 3-1/8 inches. Manufactured in the United States by Spears Manufacturing using a molded process, this fitting meets the dimensional and pressure requirements expected of SCH 80/XH PVC fittings in plumbing, irrigation, and industrial fluid-handling applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers.

This reducing tee is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, pool and spa circulation piping, irrigation distribution, and industrial process lines where PVC pressure fittings are specified. The SCH 80 wall thickness provides additional pressure capacity over SCH 40 fittings, making this fitting appropriate for higher-demand service runs. The FNPT branch outlet accepts a threaded male adapter or instrument fitting without additional modification to the branch port.

Key Features

• SCH 80/XH schedule rating for higher pressure service compared to standard SCH 40 fittings
• 1 x 1 x 1/2 inch nominal reducing configuration handles mainline and branch size reduction in one fitting
• Socket x socket x FNPT end style supports solvent-weld mainline connections with a threaded branch outlet
• Molded gray PVC construction resists corrosion and chemical degradation in typical fluid-handling environments
• Domestically manufactured in the United States by Spears Manufacturing
• Compact 3-1/8 inch length minimizes space requirements in tight piping runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 PVC pressure piping systems using 1-inch mainline pipe with a 1/2-inch FNPT branch connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Depressurize and drain the system completely before cutting into an existing line. Use a PVC-compatible primer and SCH 80-rated solvent cement on the socket ends, and allow full cure time before restoring system pressure. The FNPT branch port requires a compatible male-threaded fitting and thread sealant rated for PVC use; do not overtighten threaded connections on PVC.
