Spears CPVC Schedule 80 Socket Tee
The Spears CPVC Schedule 80 Socket Tee is a heavy-duty branch fitting engineered for high-temperature, high-pressure, and corrosive-resistant piping systems. Built from CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) in a Schedule 80 wall thickness, this 3/4" tee uses a socket (SOC) connection on all three ports to create a strong, leak-tight bond when solvent-welded. It is designed to join or branch piping runs in industrial, commercial, and process piping applications where standard PVC cannot handle the thermal or chemical demands of the system. Contractors and engineers rely on CPVC Schedule 80 fittings like this Spears tee when a project calls for a fitting that can stand up to aggressive chemicals, elevated fluid temperatures, and sustained internal pressure over the life of the installation.
Key Features
- Trade Size: 3/4" port size for compatibility with standard 3/4" CPVC pipe runs and matching fittings.
- Durable Construction: Molded from CPVC for excellent resistance to corrosion, chemical attack, and elevated operating temperatures compared to standard PVC piping products.
- Schedule 80 Wall Thickness: Heavier wall construction than Schedule 40 for increased pressure rating and added structural durability under demanding service conditions.
- Socket (SOC) Connections: All three ports are socket-style for solvent-welded joints, delivering a strong, permanent, leak-resistant bond between pipe and fitting.
- Tee Configuration: Provides a 90° branch connection, allowing a single run of CPVC pipe to split into a perpendicular branch line without additional hardware.
- Lightweight Yet Strong: CPVC construction offers a favorable strength-to-weight ratio, easing handling, cutting, and installation versus metallic pipe fitting alternatives.
- System Compatibility: Designed to integrate with standard CPVC Schedule 80 pipe, elbows, couplings, and valves for a complete, uniform piping system.

Spears 801-005C – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What sizes does the Spears 801 CPVC Schedule 80 socket tee come in?
Two trade sizes: 1/2 inch (part 801-005C) and 3/4 inch (part 801-007C). Both are all-socket tees, so all three ports are the same size, and both ports on the run plus the branch take solvent-welded pipe of that size.
2) Do I need threaded ends or will a socket tee work for my CPVC line?
The 801 tee is socket only, meaning it is solvent-welded with CPVC cement, not threaded. If your run is cut pipe going into cement joints, this is the fitting. If you need to break the line for a valve, pump, or equipment connection, you want a threaded (FPT) tee or a union at that point instead, since a solvent-welded socket joint is permanent.
3) Can I use a CPVC Schedule 80 tee on a PVC Schedule 80 line?
Dimensionally Schedule 80 socket sizes match between PVC and CPVC, but the 801 is a CPVC fitting and belongs in a CPVC system solvent-welded with CPVC cement. Mixing materials in one joint is not what this fitting is built for. Use CPVC where the line sees elevated fluid temperatures or aggressive chemistry that standard PVC cannot take, and keep pipe, fittings, and cement all in CPVC.
4) Why choose Schedule 80 over Schedule 40 for a CPVC branch fitting?
Schedule 80 carries a heavier wall than Schedule 40, which raises the pressure rating and adds structural durability under demanding service. It is the choice for industrial process piping, chemical transfer, and high-pressure branch connections. For low-pressure drain or irrigation work, Schedule 40 is usually enough. Note the wall is thicker, so the inside diameter is smaller than Schedule 40 at the same trade size.
5) What does the 801 tee actually do in a piping run?
It splits a straight run into a 90 degree branch line, no extra hardware needed. All three ports are the same trade size, so it is a straight tee rather than a reducing tee. If your branch needs to be a smaller size, you would either use a reducing bushing in the branch socket or a reducing tee.
6) What else do I need to install a Spears CPVC socket tee?
The tee ships as the fitting alone. To make the joint you need CPVC solvent cement and primer appropriate for the pipe size, a square cut on the pipe, and deburred, cleaned ends. No gaskets, threads, or mechanical hardware are involved, since the socket joint is a chemically welded bond.
7) Is CPVC Schedule 80 suitable for hot water distribution in a commercial building?
Yes. Hot and cold water distribution requiring elevated temperature resistance is one of the listed applications for this tee, along with industrial process piping, chemical and corrosive fluid transfer, and commercial mechanical piping. Pressure capability falls as temperature rises in any thermoplastic system, so size the line against the manufacturer derating for your operating temperature.
8) Will this tee match the rest of my Spears CPVC Schedule 80 system?
Yes. The 801 socket tee is built to integrate with standard CPVC Schedule 80 pipe, elbows, couplings, and valves, so it drops into a uniform system rather than forcing an adapter. Pairing it with matching Spears CPVC Schedule 80 pipe and fittings keeps socket depths and bonding consistent across the job.
