Tee, Slip x Slip x Slip PVC Schedule 80 3/4" (801-007)

This 3/4" Schedule 80 PVC Equal Tee provides a full-size, solvent-cemented branch outlet off a 3/4" PVC main run, with all three slip socket ends accepting standard 3/4" PVC pipe for solvent cement joining. The two run ports maintain the straight-through flow path of the main, while the branch outlet presents an equal 3/4" socket perpendicular to the run — delivering the same full pipe diameter at the branch as at the run, with no size reduction at the tee body.

The equal tee is the foundational branch fitting in any PVC piping system, and at 3/4" Schedule 80, the 801-007 serves the full range of branch applications where the branch flow requirement matches the run capacity. Secondary distribution headers feeding parallel equipment circuits, branch supply lines off small-bore process mains, chemical dosing distribution branches, instrument supply line splits, and control valve zone takeoffs are all configurations where a full-size 3/4" branch off a 3/4" run is the correct specification. When the branch requires a smaller outlet than the run, a reducing tee applies; when the branch requires a threaded outlet rather than a solvent-cemented socket, the 802-series Slip × Slip × FPT tee applies; when all three connections must be threaded, the 805-007 FPT × FPT × FPT tee (previously written) applies. The 801-007 is the correct fitting wherever the branch is equal in size to the run, both the run and branch connections are solvent-welded PVC pipe, and the full 3/4" branch capacity is required.

At 3/4" Schedule 80, the 801-007 carries a notably higher pressure rating than its 1" counterpart — reflecting the greater wall thickness relative to bore diameter at smaller pipe sizes in Schedule 80 construction. This elevated pressure capacity makes the 3/4" equal tee well suited for high-pressure instrument supply systems, chemical injection headers, and control system distribution piping where pressure requirements approach or exceed the ratings of larger-bore fittings at the same schedule. Wherever 3/4" Schedule 80 PVC is specified for its elevated pressure performance at the branch tee position, the 801-007 maintains that performance consistently at all three socket ends.

The all-socket construction of the 801-007 produces a three-joint, fully solvent-cemented assembly at the tee position — both run ports and the branch outlet cemented to 3/4" PVC pipe. This all-socket configuration integrates seamlessly into solvent-welded Schedule 80 systems, maintaining pressure rating consistency through every joint at the tee without introducing threaded interfaces that might require periodic inspection or re-torquing. The result is a permanent, monolithic branch point that becomes an integral structural component of the piping system once cured.

Manufactured in dark gray Schedule 80 PVC, this tee delivers the increased wall thickness and mechanical strength required in industrial, chemical, and commercial pressure piping where Schedule 40 ratings are insufficient. PVC's broad chemical resistance covers acids, bases, salts, chlorine, and most common process fluids, providing long service life in corrosive environments where metal tees would corrode, scale, or introduce contamination into the fluid stream. NSF/ANSI 61 listing confirms suitability for potable water contact.

Rated to 690 psi at 73°F, this tee handles standard to elevated pressure service across a wide range of fluid handling applications. For installation, clean and dry all pipe ends and socket interiors before application. Apply purple PVC primer to all mating surfaces — both run port sockets, the branch socket, and all three corresponding pipe ends. Apply a uniform coat of Schedule 80 PVC solvent cement to both the pipe end and socket interior at each of the three joints before inserting. Insert each pipe with a slight quarter-turn twist and hold firmly for 30 seconds to prevent pushback. Stagger the three joints where possible and allow full cure time per the cement manufacturer's temperature and humidity guidelines before pressurizing. Apply published pressure derating factors for service temperatures above 73°F.
