Value Collection 805-030 Pvc Pipe Tee 3 in Sch 80 Fipt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 805-030 is a Schedule 80 PVC tee fitting designed for joining or branching 3-inch piping runs in industrial and commercial plumbing systems. Schedule 80 PVC wall thickness provides greater pressure resistance compared to Schedule 40, making this fitting suitable for applications where higher system pressures are expected. All three ports use female iron pipe thread (FIPT) end connections, allowing direct threaded connection to male-threaded pipe or fittings. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting when a branch takeoff is needed on a main run. The fitting weighs 3.4 pounds. It ships as a single unit.

This tee is used in residential and commercial plumbing, irrigation, chemical distribution, and industrial process piping where PVC is an approved material. Schedule 80 PVC is compatible with a wide range of fluids and is commonly found in above-ground and exposed piping installations. FIPT connections make it straightforward to assemble with standard NPT-threaded male pipe ends using appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for higher pressure ratings versus Schedule 40
• 3-inch fitting size for large-diameter branch connections
• FIPT x FIPT x FIPT end connections accept standard NPT male-threaded pipe
• PVC material resists corrosion and many common chemicals
• Single-unit packaging — no minimum multi-pack required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 3-inch Schedule 80 PVC piping systems using NPT-threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing any existing fittings or making new connections. Apply PTFE tape or an approved pipe thread sealant to all male threads before assembly — do not over-tighten threaded PVC connections, as the material can crack under excessive torque. Verify that the fitting and pipe schedule are compatible with the fluid type, temperature range, and pressure requirements of the system before installing.
