Value Collection 16602 1 in Cpvc Tee Fitting Fipt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 16602 is a 1-inch CPVC tee fitting designed for use in residential and commercial hot and cold water distribution systems. CPVC construction allows this fitting to handle higher temperature service compared to standard PVC, making it a common choice for domestic hot water lines. The tee configuration features three female iron pipe thread (FIPT) end connections, allowing it to join threaded CPVC pipe runs at a 90-degree branch. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of new construction or retrofit work where a threaded branch connection is required at a main line.

This fitting is suited for potable water supply systems, hydronic distribution lines, and chemical handling applications where CPVC material compatibility is confirmed. The FIPT x FIPT x FIPT end connection style accepts male-threaded pipe or adapters on all three ports. It is typically installed in residential plumbing, light commercial builds, and industrial process lines operating within the rated temperature and pressure limits of CPVC at the given pipe schedule. This fitting is sold in a package quantity of 5.

Installation Notes

Installation of CPVC threaded fittings is performed by licensed plumbers in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and local amendments. Shut off and depressurize the water supply line completely before removing any existing fitting or cutting into an active pipe run. Use CPVC-compatible thread sealant tape or compound on male threads before assembly and tighten to hand-tight plus the manufacturer-recommended turns without over-torquing the fitting body. Avoid mixing CPVC fittings with incompatible solvents, lubricants, or pipe materials that can cause stress cracking.
