Size:3/8" Number of Items:1 This Spears schedule 80 PVC tee fitting has female NPT threads on each end and is suitable for connecting and branching three pipes. The National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads create a tighter seal than straight threads.

Pipe dimensions for tees are represented as A x B x C. “A” and “B” indicate the main run on the fitting, and “C” indicates the branch. The fitting is made of gray PVC (polyvinyl chloride) for and corrosion resistance, high strength, and less weight than fittings made from metal. It is compatible with schedule 80 (thick wall) PVC pipes and fittings, and is suitable for processing, industrial plating, chilled water distribution, deionized water lines, and drainage and wastewater systems. PVC can be connected to other materials such as steel, copper, or cast iron using transition fittings. The fitting has a maximum operating temperature of 140 degrees F, meets ASTM International D1784 and D2467 standards for quality assurance, and is certified by National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF) for potable water service. This schedule 80 PVC tee fitting is suitable for connecting pipes for conveying drinking water, waste water, s, and other liquids in a range of industries. Pipe fittings are components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in many different industries. When purchasing pipe fittings, consider the application, as this will affect material type, shape, size and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in many shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness). Spears Manufacturing produces thermoplastic fittings and valves for fluid, drain, waste, and vent systems. The company, founded in 1969 and headquartered in Sylmar, CA, meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 9001.
