Reducing Tee, Slip x Slip x Slip PVC Schedule 80 2" x 2" x 3/4" (801-248)
The 801-248 is a 2" x 2" x 3/4" PVC Schedule 80 reducing tee in an all-slip configuration, featuring 2" slip inlets on both run ends and a 3/4" slip branch outlet. This fitting introduces a small-diameter solvent-weld branch directly into a 2" mainline run — consolidating what would otherwise require a full-size tee plus a separate reducer into a single, compact fitting.
The all-slip design means all three ports are joined by solvent cement, creating a fully permanent, monolithic assembly with no threaded joints to leak, loosen, or require re-torquing over time. The 2" run ports maintain mainline flow continuity while the 3/4" branch handles reduced-diameter takeoffs for secondary supply lines, instrument connections, chemical injection points, sampling ports, and smaller distribution laterals.
At a 3/4" branch on a 2" run, the flow ratio is well-suited for applications where the branch carries a modest fraction of total mainline flow — taps, metered feeds, low-volume secondary circuits, and similar functions where over-sizing the branch would waste fitting capacity or compromise mainline pressure.
Schedule 80's thicker wall construction delivers higher pressure ratings and greater resistance to mechanical stress and chemical exposure than Schedule 40, making this tee a reliable choice for demanding industrial, chemical, and process environments. The gray color is the standard Schedule 80 identifier and provides clear 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 801-248 is well-suited for Schedule 80 systems requiring a small-diameter, permanent solvent-weld branch takeoff from a 2" mainline:
- Industrial Processing — Low-volume branch connections for chemical injection lines, sampling ports, and instrument taps off a 2" process header, where the 3/4" branch handles secondary or metered flow functions without disrupting mainline capacity
- Chemical Handling — Permanent solvent-weld branch connections in acid, alkali, and reagent distribution systems where a small-bore secondary feed or bleed line is needed off a 2" mainline
- Water & Wastewater Treatment — Branching off 2" treatment plant supply or distribution headers to 3/4" dosing connections, metering equipment, or monitoring ports in a fully solvent-welded assembly
- Irrigation & Agriculture — Tapping a 3/4" lateral supply or drip distribution line off a 2" pressurized mainline in field or greenhouse irrigation systems where a permanent branch connection is preferred
- Commercial & Industrial Plumbing — Small-bore branch connections in cold water supply, equipment feed lines, and mechanical room piping where a permanent 3/4" takeoff off a 2" run is required
- Aquaculture & Aquatics — Branching 2" recirculating system headers to 3/4" aeration, filter, or secondary flow connections in permanent solvent-weld installations
- HVAC & Cooling Systems — Small-diameter branch takeoffs in chilled water or process cooling circuits where a permanent 3/4" tap off a 2" distribution header is needed
