Tee, Slip x Slip x FPT PVC Schedule 80 1/2" x 1/4" (802-072)
$10.39
The 802-072 is a reducing PVC Schedule 80 Tee configured with 1/2" slip (socket) run ends and a 1/4" female pipe thread (FPT) branch outlet. This mixed-connection design allows a 1/2" solvent-welded main line to accept a smaller threaded branch connection — a common configuration in instrumentation taps, gauge ports, sample lines, and controlled-flow branch takeoffs where the branch demand is lower than the main line flow.
Manufactured from dark gray PVC Schedule 80 compound, this tee meets ASTM D2467 for the socket (slip) ends and ASTM D2464 for the threaded FPT branch, with NSF/ANSI 61 certification covering potable water contact applications. The heavier Schedule 80 wall thickness provides the pressure headroom and chemical resistance required in industrial process environments, chemical handling lines, and high-demand commercial systems where Schedule 40 fittings are undersized for the application.
The 1/4" FPT branch accepts any standard male NPT-threaded fitting, nipple, or instrument port — no solvent cement required on the branch connection. Installation of the 1/2" slip run ends follows standard Schedule 80 solvent cement procedure: clean, prime, and cement both mating surfaces using a Schedule 80-compatible PVC cement per ASTM D2564. Because the governing pressure rating of this assembly is determined by the smallest and most restrictive end — the 1/4" FPT branch — system design should reference the threaded branch's rated working pressure when sizing for the intended service pressure.
