CPVC Equal Tee

Description

The CPVC Equal Tee is a fundamental component for creating junctions in a CPVC piping system. Made from durable chlorinated polyvinyl chloride, this T-shaped fitting is engineered to divert flow from a main line into a new branch line, with all three outlets having the same diameter. Its robust design ensures a secure, leak-proof, and long-lasting connection.

Uses:

• Creating Branch Lines: The primary use of an Equal Tee is to create a new branch line at a 90-degree angle from a main pipe. This is essential for routing water to multiple fixtures, such as a sink and a toilet, from a single supply line.

• Diversion of Flow: It is used wherever the water flow needs to be split evenly into two different directions.

• All-Purpose Junction: Equal Tees are a staple in both residential and commercial plumbing for creating a wide variety of plumbing layouts.

Advantages:

• Secure and Leak-Proof Connection: When installed with a proper solvent cement, the Equal Tee creates a permanent, monolithic bond with the pipes, ensuring a leak-proof connection that can withstand high pressure and temperature.

• High Temperature and Pressure Resistance: Like other CPVC fittings, it is designed to handle hot and cold water applications, withstanding temperatures up to 200°F (93°C) and maintaining durability under a wide range of operating pressures.

• Corrosion and Chemical Resistance: The material will not rust, scale, or corrode over time, ensuring a clean and consistent water flow. It is also resistant to a variety of common chemicals found in water supplies.

• Lightweight and Easy to Install: The tee’s simple design and lightweight nature make it very easy to work with. The installation process is quick, requiring only solvent cement and a few minutes to cure, which reduces labor time and costs.
