Value Collection 805-015 Pvc Pipe Tee 1-1/2 in Schedule 80 Fipt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 805-015 is a Schedule 80 PVC tee fitting designed for use in pressure-rated piping systems. It features female iron pipe thread (FIPT) connections on all three ports, allowing it to thread directly onto male-threaded pipe or fittings without solvent welding. The 1-1/2 inch size and Schedule 80 wall thickness make it suitable for applications that demand higher pressure ratings and greater impact resistance than Schedule 40 fittings. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians typically install this fitting in water distribution, irrigation, and chemical handling lines.

This tee is appropriate for residential and commercial plumbing, industrial process piping, and irrigation systems where a threaded branch connection is required. The all-FIPT configuration suits installations where the line must be broken into a tee and reconnected using threaded male adapters or pipe nipples. It is commonly found in above-ground and in-wall systems where the Schedule 80 rating provides a margin of safety for moderate-pressure service.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction delivers higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40 fittings of the same size
• FIPT x FIPT x FIPT end connections on all three ports for fully threaded assembly
• 1-1/2 inch fitting size compatible with standard 1-1/2 inch threaded pipe
• PVC material resists corrosion and is suitable for many water and chemical service applications
• Tee configuration allows a branch line to be added in-line without cutting and re-routing main piping

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-1/2 inch Schedule 80 threaded PVC piping systems using FIPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing any existing fittings or making new connections. Use PTFE tape or an approved thread sealant on all male threads before engaging the fitting; do not overtighten, as PVC threads can crack under excessive torque. Verify pressure ratings and chemical compatibility of the fitting material with the intended service fluid before placing the system back in service.
