The CPVC-CTS tee features female socket connections and allows for a connection to be made in continuous pipeline and branch out to a different direction. Please refer to NIBCO technical data sheets and catalogs for engineering and installation information. Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC) has proven to be an excellent material for hot corrosive liquids, hot and cold water distribution, and similar applications above the temperature range of PVC. CPVC will not rust, pit, scale or corrode. CPVC fittings are easy to install and are joined by solvent cementing or threading. NIBCO® plastic fittings are backed by a 5-year limited warranty. Because of its longstanding reputation for innovation and precision in design and manufacturing, NIBCO is the preferred brand in the industry.

Nibco M099300 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a Nibco 4711 CPVC tee fit CPVC pipe I already have, or is it sized for schedule 40 PVC?
The 4711 tee is made for CPVC CTS (Copper Tube Size) pipe, not schedule 40 PVC sizing. CTS and schedule 40 use different outside diameters at the same nominal size, so a CTS socket will not seat correctly on sch 40 pipe. If the existing hot and cold lines are tan CPVC water distribution tube, this is the matching fitting. All three ends are female solvent weld sockets, so the pipe goes into the fitting.
2) What reducing sizes does the Nibco 4711 CPVC tee come in for branching a 1/2 inch line off a 3/4 inch main?
Five reducing configurations are offered alongside the straight sizes. For a 3/4 inch run with a 1/2 inch branch, order 3/4 x 3/4 x 1/2. If the reduction needs to fall in the run instead, there is 3/4 x 1/2 x 3/4 and 3/4 x 1/2 x 1/2. Larger reducers are 1 x 1 x 3/4, 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 x 1, and 2 x 2 x 1. Straight tees run 1/2, 3/4, 1, 1-1/4, 1-1/2, and 2 inch. Read the three sizes in order: run, run, branch.
3) Can I use a CPVC tee on a hot water line, and how hot can it go?
Hot water distribution is what CPVC is for, and the 4711 tee carries a maximum service temperature of 180 degrees F. That covers domestic hot water in both commercial and residential systems. It is above the range PVC handles, which is why CPVC is the material specified on hot lines. Pressure falls off as temperature rises on any thermoplastic system, so size the system to the design temperature.
4) Is the Nibco 4711 CPVC tee lead free and NSF certified for potable water?
Lead-free is the stated application for the 4711 tee, and it is NSF U.P. certified. That is the pairing an institutional or municipal spec asks for on potable water distribution. Being a plastic fitting, there is no brass or bronze wetted surface in it to begin with.
5) Can I run compressed air through CPVC tees in a shop or garage?
No. The 4711 tee is not for use with compressed air or other gases, and that restriction is not negotiable. CPVC under gas pressure can fail by shattering rather than splitting. For a shop air drop, use metal pipe or a manufactured air line system rated for it, and keep the CPVC on water service.
6) I need to tee off an existing CPVC water line for a new fixture. Is this the right fitting?
That is exactly the job for the 4711. It makes a connection in a continuous run and branches off in a different direction, with a socket on each of the three ends. Cut the existing line, dry fit both run ends and the branch, then cement. If the new fixture line is smaller than the main, pick a reducing size such as 3/4 x 3/4 x 1/2 so you are not bushing the branch down separately.
7) Do I glue or thread a Nibco 4711 CPVC tee, and can I use regular PVC cement?
Solvent weld, all three ends. The sockets are female, so the pipe slips in and the joint is chemically fused, not mechanically clamped. Use CPVC solvent cement, not standard PVC cement, and follow the Nibco plastic fittings installation instructions for cure times before pressurizing. There are no threads on this fitting, so nothing gets teflon taped.
8) Should I use a CPVC tee or a copper tee for hot and cold water distribution in a repipe?
CPVC will not rust, pit, scale or corrode, which is the argument for it on aggressive or hard water where copper pits out. It joins by solvent cement instead of torch soldering, so it goes in without open flame in an occupied building. Copper still wins where the run is exposed to UV, needs to take mechanical abuse, or where the local spec calls for metal. Temperature is the other line: the 4711 tops out at 180 degrees F service, so keep it off boiler and steam side piping.
9) Can I standardize on Nibco 4711 CPVC tees across apartment units and a commercial building?
System use covers both commercial and residential plumbing, so one part number family works across a mixed portfolio. Sizes run 1/2 inch through 2 inch straight, with reducing patterns for branch runs, which covers unit distribution through riser sizing on most multi-family work. Each size carries its own Nibco manufacturer number, for example M097200 for the 1/2 inch and M102600 for the 2 inch, so a purchasing sheet can be built off those.
10) What is the Nibco part number for a 1 inch CPVC slip tee?
The 1 inch straight CPVC CTS tee is Nibco M099300. If the branch needs to drop to 3/4 inch, that is M099450 in the 1 x 1 x 3/4 pattern. Both are 4711 series, tan CPVC, solvent weld on all three ends.
