Tee, Slip x Slip x FPT PVC Schedule 80 1-1/2X 3/4" (802-210)

The 802-210 is a 1-1/2" x 3/4" 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 3/4" FPT (Female Pipe Thread) branch outlet. This fitting allows a threaded branch connection to be introduced into a 1-1/2" solvent-weld mainline run — combining two different joining methods in a single fitting for maximum installation flexibility.

The mixed-connection design is particularly useful when the branch point needs to remain serviceable over time. Where the solvent-welded run ports create a permanent, leak-free mainline, the FPT branch accepts a threaded nipple, valve, gauge, plug, or instrument fitting that can be removed, replaced, or retorqued without disturbing the mainline piping. This makes the 802-210 a natural choice for chemical injection points, isolation valve takeoffs, pressure gauge ports, and any branch application where future access or adjustment is anticipated.

Schedule 80's thicker wall construction delivers higher pressure ratings and greater resistance to mechanical stress and chemical exposure compared to Schedule 40, making this tee well-suited for demanding industrial and process environments. The gray color is the standard visual identifier for Schedule 80 PVC, distinguishing it clearly from white Schedule 40 components in mixed systems.

Solvent cement installation on the run ports follows standard PVC practice — clean, prime, and cement per ASTM D2564 procedures. For the 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 802-210 is well-suited for Schedule 80 systems requiring a serviceable, threaded branch takeoff from a solvent-weld 1-1/2" mainline:

• Industrial Processing — Threaded branch ports for pressure gauges, chemical injection quills, sampling valves, and instrument connections off a 1-1/2" process header, where the branch must remain accessible for maintenance
• Chemical Handling — Introducing a threaded isolation valve or metering connection into a permanent solvent-weld distribution line in acid, alkali, or reagent piping systems
• Water & Wastewater Treatment — Branching off 1-1/2" treatment plant supply or distribution headers to threaded instrumentation, dosing equipment, or monitoring ports
• Irrigation & Agriculture — Tapping a threaded valve or lateral connection off a 1-1/2" mainline in pressurized field or greenhouse irrigation systems, where the branch fitting may need seasonal removal or replacement
• Commercial & Industrial Plumbing — Creating threaded branch connections in cold water supply, equipment feed lines, and mechanical room piping where a valved or capped port is needed off the main run
• Aquaculture & Aquatics — Integrating threaded valve, sensor, or monitoring connections into a 1-1/2" recirculating system header
• Laboratory & Research Facilities — Providing accessible, threaded sampling or reagent injection ports in Schedule 80 lab piping where the main run is permanent but branch access is required
