Reducing Tee, Slip x Slip x Slip PVC Schedule 80 2" x 2" x 1/2" (801-247)

The 801-247 is a 2" x 2" x 1/2" PVC Schedule 80 reducing tee in an all-slip configuration, featuring 2" slip inlets on both run ends and a 1/2" slip branch outlet. This fitting introduces the smallest practical branch takeoff into a 2" mainline run — consolidating what would otherwise require a full-size tee plus a separate reducer into a single, compact, fully solvent-welded fitting.

The 1/2" branch is well-proportioned for instrument taps, pressure gauge ports, chemical injection quills, sampling connections, and other low-volume or monitoring functions where a minor takeoff from the mainline is needed without meaningful impact on mainline flow or pressure. At this branch-to-run ratio — 1/2" off a 2" mainline — the fitting is purpose-built for secondary functions rather than significant flow division, making it the correct choice when the branch carries a small, controlled volume and the mainline must remain largely unimpeded.

The all-slip design means all three ports are joined by solvent cement, producing a fully permanent, monolithic assembly with no threaded joints to loosen, leak, or require periodic maintenance. This makes the 801-247 particularly well-suited for buried, enclosed, or hard-to-access installations where long-term joint integrity is a priority and branch serviceability is not required.

Schedule 80's thicker wall construction provides higher pressure ratings and stronger resistance to mechanical stress and chemical exposure than Schedule 40, making this tee appropriate for demanding industrial, chemical, and process environments. The gray color is the standard Schedule 80 identifier, providing immediate visual differentiation from white Schedule 40 components in mixed systems.

Solvent cement installation follows standard PVC practice — clean, prime, and cement all mating surfaces per ASTM D2564 procedures. Ensure proper alignment before the cement sets, as Schedule 80 socket fits leave minimal adjustment time once bonded.

Industries & Applications:

The 801-247 is well-suited for Schedule 80 systems requiring a minimal, permanent solvent-weld branch tap off a 2" mainline where low-volume or monitoring functions are handled at the branch:

• Industrial Processing — Instrument taps, pressure gauge connections, and chemical injection points off a 2" process header, where the 1/2" branch handles low-flow secondary or metering functions without disrupting mainline capacity
• Chemical Handling — Permanent small-bore feed, bleed, or sampling connections in acid, alkali, and reagent distribution lines where a fully solvent-welded assembly is preferred for long-term joint integrity
• Water & Wastewater Treatment — Low-volume dosing connections, chemical feed taps, and monitoring ports branching off 2" treatment plant supply or distribution headers in permanent installations
• Irrigation & Agriculture — Tapping a 1/2" fertigation injector, pressure gauge, or drip lateral supply off a 2" pressurized mainline in field or greenhouse irrigation systems where a permanent branch is preferred over a threaded tap
• Commercial & Industrial Plumbing — Permanent small-bore branch connections in cold water supply, equipment feed lines, and mechanical room piping where a 1/2" solvent-weld tap off a 2" run is required
• Aquaculture & Aquatics — Low-volume aeration, sensor, or monitoring branch connections off 2" recirculating system headers in permanent, fully solvent-welded installations
• Laboratory & Research Facilities — Permanent sampling or reagent injection ports in Schedule 80 lab piping where the branch carries minimal flow and long-term joint integrity takes priority over branch serviceability
