The Charlotte Pipe Schedule 80 1/2 in. Slip X 1/2 in. Slip PVC Tee is a rugged, three‑way solution built to reliably branch your drainage system. Designed for DWV (drain-waste-vent) applications, this heavy-walled Schedule 80 fitting delivers dependable flow paths and durable performance where it matters most.
Why this Schedule 80 PVC Tee stands out
-
Heavy-wall durability: Schedule 80 PVC provides thicker walls than standard Schedule 40 fittings, giving you extra strength for challenging installations and long-term reliability in DWV piping.
-
Three 1/2" slip connections: All ends are 1/2" slip joints, allowing fast, clean solvent-weld connections to form a secure, leak‑free branch in your 1/2" PVC network.
-
Lead-free and safety‑driven: The fitting is lead‑free, NSF listed, and IAPMO certified, aligning with code requirements and ensuring safer materials for household drainage systems.
-
Temperature rating up to 140°F: Suitable for typical residential DWV environments where moderately warm condensate or warm water exposure might occur, without compromising integrity.
-
Properly packaged for storage: Bagged packaging keeps the fitting protected and ready for your project, with a single piece per package.
-
Trusted brand, real-world reliability: Charlotte Pipe is known for durable, code‑compliant fittings that plumbers and serious DIYers rely on for lasting performance.
Ideal use cases
Use this 1/2" slip x 1/2" slip x 1/2" slip PVC Tee to create a clean branch off a main DWV run, such as connecting a lavatory or sink line to the primary stack or extending a vent line in tight spaces. Its slip joints simplify alignment and cementing, making it a practical choice for renovations, repairs, or new installations where a compact, sturdy 3‑way connection is required.
Installation considerations and tips
- Ensure you’re working with standard PVC Schedule 80 pipe designed for DWV applications.
- Prep surfaces with a PVC primer, then apply solvent cement to the bell and pipe to establish a strong, permanent joint.
- Dry-fit the assembly first to confirm alignment and avoid stress on the joints during final cementing.
- Hold each joint for the recommended set time to prevent slip movement as cement cures.
