Value Collection 16617 Cpvc Pipe Tee 1-1/2 in Fipt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 16617 is a 1-1/2 inch CPVC pipe tee designed for joining three runs of pipe in a plumbing or fluid distribution system. Constructed from CPVC (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride), this fitting handles the corrosive and high-temperature demands common in hot and cold water supply lines. All three ports use female iron pipe thread (FIPT) end connections, allowing direct threaded engagement with male-threaded pipe or fittings. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of tee during new construction and retrofit work where a branch line must be introduced into an existing run.

This tee is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where CPVC is the specified pipe material. Typical installations include domestic hot and cold water distribution systems, in-wall supply lines, and branch connections at fixture rough-ins. The FIPT x FIPT x FIPT configuration makes it straightforward to connect into threaded CPVC or compatible threaded systems without additional adapters in most scenarios. This fitting is sold in a package quantity of 2.

Key Features

• 1-1/2 inch fitting size for standard residential and light commercial pipe runs
• CPVC construction provides resistance to heat and corrosion versus standard PVC
• FIPT x FIPT x FIPT end connections on all three ports for threaded engagement
• Tee configuration allows branch line introduction into a straight pipe run
• Sold in a package of 2 fittings per order

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-1/2 inch CPVC threaded plumbing systems using FIPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before cutting into an existing system. Use a proper CPVC-rated thread sealant or tape on all male threads before engagement, and avoid overtightening, which can crack CPVC fittings. Do not use this fitting with pipe materials or solvents not rated for CPVC.
