Tee, Slip x Slip x Slip PVC Schedule 80 2" (801-020)

The 801-020 is a 2" PVC Schedule 80 tee with three slip (socket) ports — a straight-through 2" run and a perpendicular 2" branch outlet — all joined by solvent cement welding per ASTM D2564. The uniform 2" diameter across all three ports creates a full-size, three-way junction in a single fitting, branching flow off a mainline at full pipe diameter with no reduction at the branch.

Manufactured from rigid, dark gray PVC compound conforming to ASTM D1784 cell classification requirements, the Schedule 80 wall thickness is substantially greater than Schedule 40, delivering higher pressure ratings at equivalent pipe sizes and added mechanical durability for demanding service environments. This makes the 801-020 the correct choice for high-pressure distribution systems, chemical process piping, and industrial applications where Schedule 40 tees are insufficient or where the full Schedule 80 system specification must be maintained at every fitting in the line.

The all-slip configuration produces three permanent solvent-welded joints, making the 801-020 appropriate for installations where long-term leak-free performance is the priority and branch connections will not require future disassembly. For applications where the branch connection must remain serviceable, a slip x slip x FPT tee configuration should be considered instead. The full 2" branch diameter makes this tee well suited for systems where branch flow demand matches the mainline — distribution headers, parallel circuit feeds, and bypass assemblies where flow is split evenly rather than tapped at a reduced size.

Industries & Applications:

• Industrial Process Piping — Full-diameter branch junctions in high-pressure chemical distribution, cooling water loops, and process fluid recirculation systems requiring Schedule 80 pressure performance throughout
• Chemical Processing — Three-way junctions in corrosive service piping handling acids, caustics, and aggressive fluids where all-PVC Schedule 80 construction provides both chemical resistance and the required pressure safety margin
• Municipal Water & Wastewater — Pump station and treatment facility piping where full-diameter branch connections are required at distribution headers, bypass circuits, and parallel feed assemblies
• Irrigation & Agriculture — High-pressure mainline branch junctions in large-scale pressurized irrigation systems where full 2" branch flow capacity is required at the takeoff point
• HVAC & Mechanical — Three-way branch junctions in chilled water, condenser water, and process cooling systems specified for Schedule 80 PVC construction in commercial mechanical rooms
• Aquaculture & Water Treatment — Full-diameter branch junctions in recirculating system manifolds and multi-circuit supply headers where consistent flow capacity must be maintained across all three ports
