Spears 802-334 Reducing Tee 3x3x3/4 in Sch 80 Pvc

Product Description

The SPEARS 802-334 is a Schedule 80 PVC reducing tee fitting designed for pressure piping systems where a branch reduction is required inline. Manufactured domestically by Spears Manufacturing, this fitting connects 3-inch run piping via socket ends on both the inlet and outlet, while the 3/4-inch branch exits through a female NPT (FNPT) threaded port. The bushed construction integrates the size reduction directly into the tee body, eliminating the need for a separate bushing. At 5.5 inches in length and weighing 1.29 pounds, it is built to SCH 80/XH wall thickness standards, giving it the pressure rating and impact resistance required in demanding industrial and commercial applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers.

This fitting is suited for Schedule 80 PVC pressure piping systems in commercial, industrial, and municipal water distribution, chemical process lines, and irrigation mainlines where a reduced branch takeoff is needed. The FNPT branch port accepts a male-threaded instrument tap, valve, or gauge without additional adapters. Its gray PVC construction resists corrosion from a wide range of chemicals, making it appropriate for both water service and compatible chemical conveyance applications.

Key Features

• SCH 80/XH wall thickness for elevated pressure and mechanical strength ratings
• Bushed tee body integrates the 3 x 3 x 3/4 inch size reduction in one component
• Socket x Socket x FNPT end configuration simplifies branch connections to threaded fittings, valves, or instruments
• Gray PVC construction provides broad chemical resistance and corrosion immunity
• Domestically manufactured in the United States

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 PVC pressure piping systems using 3-inch nominal run pipe with a 3/4-inch nominal FNPT branch connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM standards for PVC pressure piping. Depressurize and drain the system completely before cutting into an existing line. Socket ends require PVC primer and solvent cement rated for Schedule 80 fittings; follow the cement manufacturer's cure time before restoring pressure. The FNPT branch port requires thread sealant tape or compound applied to the male threads of the connecting component.
