Tee, Slip x Slip x Slip 10" x 10" x 2" (C601-622)

The C601-622 is a 10" x 2" Class 125 PVC reducing tee with slip socket connections on all three outlets. This fitting taps a 2" solvent-weld branch directly off a 10" Class 125 main run — an eight-inch nominal differential that places the C601-622 at the far end of the reducing tee spectrum, where the branch is not a zone header or secondary distribution circuit but a dedicated small-bore lateral serving a specific, defined function on a large-diameter low-to-moderate pressure system.

The scale of the run-to-branch differential is the defining characteristic of this fitting's application context. On a 10" Class 125 main, a 2" all-slip branch is not moving a significant share of the system's flow capacity — it is tapping a small, purpose-specific circuit: a dedicated drain lateral, a 2" zone feed line, an air release assembly, a chemical injection return, a blow-off branch, or a low-flow secondary connection that needs a permanent, in-line solvent-weld fitting at the branch point rather than a saddle tap, tapping tee, or field-drilled connection. The all-slip configuration on the 2" branch distinguishes the C601-622 from FPT-branch variants in the same size family — where a threaded branch accommodates valve bodies and threaded fittings directly, the 2" slip socket accepts Schedule 40 or Class 125 PVC pipe and socket fittings bonded with solvent cement, making it the correct choice when the branch assembly is a solvent-weld circuit rather than a threaded valve or instrument connection.

The Class 125 pressure designation confirms the fitting's operating envelope: systems at or below 125 PSI at 73°F, encompassing gravity-flow drainage, low-to-moderate pressure municipal water distribution, large-scale irrigation mains, stormwater conveyance, and industrial cooling and process water headers where Class 125 delivers the appropriate pressure capacity without the added cost and wall thickness of Schedule 40 construction. At 10" on a low-pressure large-diameter system, the C601-622 provides the most compact and joint-efficient method of introducing a permanent 2" solvent-weld branch tap — a single in-line fitting accomplishing what would otherwise require a saddle assembly, tapping sleeve, or field fabrication.

All three slip sockets accept standard IPS-dimension PVC pipe bonded with the appropriate grade of PVC solvent cement: heavy-bodied cement at the 10" run sockets given the socket depth and coverage area at large diameter, and standard or heavy-bodied cement at the 2" branch socket. Manufactured from virgin PVC compound to ASTM D2466, the C601-622 carries the white color standard for PVC pressure fittings and is NSF/ANSI 61 listed for potable water service.

Industries & Applications:

• Municipal Water Distribution — Permanent in-line 2" solvent-weld branch taps on 10" Class 125 water distribution mains for dedicated drain laterals, blow-off assemblies, air release valve supply lines, and small-zone service connections; the all-slip branch accommodates a full 2" solvent-weld valve and pipe assembly where a threaded FPT connection is not required or preferred at the branch point
• Large-Scale Irrigation & Agriculture — Small-bore lateral branch connections on 10" Class 125 irrigation supply mains and pivot system primary feed lines for 2" zone feed lines, fertigation injection supply circuits, filter drain laterals, and low-flow secondary branch connections on large agricultural, golf course, and commercial landscape distribution systems
• Stormwater & Drainage Management — Permanent 2" drain lateral and cleanout branch connections on 10" Class 125 gravity-flow stormwater collection and conveyance mains where a solvent-weld branch tap provides a clean, joint-efficient alternative to saddle fittings and field-drilled tapping connections for low-flow lateral branch entries
• Industrial Cooling & Process Water — Low-flow branch taps on 10" Class 125 cooling water, process water, and plant utility fluid distribution headers for 2" drain circuits, chemical injection supply lines, bypass loop entries, and secondary equipment connections operating within the Class 125 pressure envelope
• Water & Wastewater Treatment — Permanent 2" solvent-weld branch connections on 10" treatment plant distribution headers for chemical dosing supply laterals, sampling circuit feed lines, drain branch connections, and low-flow secondary distribution taps on process water and utility fluid mains
• Landscape & Commercial Irrigation — Low-flow lateral branch taps on 10" Class 125 primary supply headers for golf courses, sports complexes, parks, and large commercial landscape installations where 2" zone feed lines, drain laterals, or fertigation supply circuits branch off the primary distribution main at fixed points in the system
• Aquaculture & Recirculating Systems — Small-bore branch taps on 10" Class 125 supply and return headers for 2" aeration feed lines, chemical treatment supply circuits, drain connections, and low-flow zone distribution branches in large commercial aquaculture and industrial water treatment facilities operating within Class 125 pressure limits
• Fire Suppression Support & Site Utility — Permanent 2" solvent-weld branch connections on 10" Class 125 low-pressure underground utility runs and site water distribution mains for drain laterals, test connections, and small-bore secondary circuit entries on commercial and campus-scale site utility systems
