Tee, Slip x Slip x FPT PVC Schedule 80 1-1/2" x 1" (802-211)

The 802-211 is a 1-1/2" x 1" PVC Schedule 80 reducing tee in a slip x slip x FPT configuration, featuring 1-1/2" slip inlets on both run ends and a 1" FPT (Female Pipe Thread) branch outlet. The fitting introduces a substantial threaded branch point into a 1-1/2" solvent-weld mainline, combining permanent solvent cement run connections with a serviceable threaded branch in a single Schedule 80 fitting.

The 1" FPT branch is the largest branch size in the 802-series 1-1/2" run family, making the 802-211 the appropriate choice when the branch flow demand approaches or matches the mainline capacity. At this ratio — a 1" branch off a 1-1/2" run — the fitting is well-suited for significant secondary supply lines, full-port valve takeoffs, bypass connections, and equipment feed branches where a smaller branch port would create a flow restriction. The threaded branch remains independently serviceable: the connected valve, nipple, or fitting can be removed or replaced without disturbing the solvent-welded mainline.

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 a reliable choice for demanding industrial, chemical, and process environments. Gray coloring is the standard identifier for Schedule 80 PVC and provides immediate visual distinction from white Schedule 40 components in mixed systems.

Installation on the run ports follows standard solvent cement practice — clean, prime, and cement per ASTM D2564 procedures. For the 1" FPT branch, apply PTFE thread tape or a compatible PVC-rated thread sealant to the male threads of the mating fitting before assembly. Avoid petroleum-based pipe dopes, which can degrade PVC over time. Thread by hand first, then snug with a strap wrench — do not over-tighten, as excessive torque can crack PVC female threads.

Industries & Applications:

The 802-211 is well-suited for Schedule 80 systems requiring a high-flow, serviceable threaded branch takeoff from a permanent 1-1/2" solvent-weld mainline:

• Industrial Processing — High-flow branch connections for secondary supply lines, bypass loops, and equipment feed ports off a 1-1/2" process header, where the 1" branch carries meaningful flow volume and must remain serviceable
• Chemical Handling — Full-bore threaded takeoffs in acid, alkali, and reagent distribution systems where a larger branch is needed for tank fill lines, transfer connections, or valve-controlled secondary circuits
• Water & Wastewater Treatment — Branching off 1-1/2" treatment plant headers to 1" threaded equipment connections, pump inlets, or isolation valve assemblies
• Irrigation & Agriculture — Tapping a 1" threaded valve or lateral supply connection off a 1-1/2" mainline in high-volume pressurized irrigation systems where branch flow capacity is critical
• Commercial & Industrial Plumbing — Threaded branch connections for equipment isolation valves, bypass circuits, and secondary supply lines in cold water and mechanical room piping
• Aquaculture & Aquatics — Providing 1" threaded takeoffs for high-flow filter connections, pump bypass lines, or recirculating system secondary circuits off a 1-1/2" mainline header
• Laboratory & Research Facilities — High-capacity threaded branch connections in Schedule 80 lab piping serving equipment with meaningful flow demands at the branch port
