Spears 802-289 Reducing Tee 2.5x2.5x1 in Sch 80 Pvc

Product Description

The SPEARS 802-289 is a Schedule 80 PVC reducing tee fitting designed for pressure piping systems where a branch reduction is required. It measures 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 x 1 inch nominal, with socket connections on the run ends and a female NPT (FNPT) connection on the branch. Overall length is 5-11/16 inches. Manufactured using a bushed method from gray PVC, it carries the SCH 80/XH pressure rating for use in demanding liquid conveyance applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This reducing tee is suited for residential and commercial PVC pressure piping installations including water distribution, irrigation, chemical handling lines, and industrial process piping where Schedule 80 wall thickness is specified. The FNPT branch outlet allows a threaded connection for instrumentation, valves, or reduced-diameter branch lines without the need for a separate bushing. Produced domestically in the United States, it meets requirements for projects specifying domestic-origin PVC fittings.

Key Features

• Schedule 80/XH pressure rating for higher-pressure applications compared to SCH 40
• Bushed construction integrates the branch reduction directly into the tee body
• FNPT branch outlet accepts threaded valves, gauges, or reducers without additional fittings
• Gray PVC construction offers corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility
• Domestically manufactured in the United States

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC. Depressurize and drain the piping system fully before cutting into an existing line. Socket ends require PVC primer and solvent cement applied per the cement manufacturer instructions and ASTM D2564 guidelines. Allow full cure time before restoring system pressure.
