CPVC Reducing Tee

Description

The CPVC Reducing Tee is a fundamental and highly efficient fitting for creating a secure junction in a CPVC piping system. Made from durable chlorinated polyvinyl chloride, this tee features two solvent-weld sockets for a main pipe run and a third, smaller solvent-weld socket for a branch line. This design allows for a seamless transition from a larger pipe to a smaller one at a 90-degree angle, making it an ideal solution for a variety of plumbing applications.

Uses:

• Creating a Reduced-Size Branch: The primary use of a reducing tee is to branch off a main supply line to a fixture or an appliance that requires a smaller-diameter pipe. This is a common practice for connecting a main water line to a sink, toilet, or water heater.

• Optimizing Water Flow: By reducing the pipe size at the junction, it helps to maintain a consistent flow rate and pressure to the connected fixture, which is essential for the efficient operation of the entire system.

• Streamlining Plumbing Layouts: This fitting simplifies the plumbing layout by combining the functions of a standard tee and a reducer into a single component, which reduces the number of joints and potential leak points.

Advantages:

• Secure and Leak-Proof Connection: When installed with a proper solvent cement, the reducing 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.
