Spears Schedule 80 PVC Socket-Weld Tee Fitting

The Spears Schedule 80 PVC Socket-Weld Tee Fitting is built for socket (SOC) solvent-weld connections in pressure piping systems, available in trade sizes from 1-1/2" through 2" to match common rough-in pipe runs. Molded from durable PVC with heavy-wall Schedule 80 construction, this tee delivers a dependable three-way branch connection for PVC pipe runs in pressurized systems. It is designed for rough-in installation behind walls, under floors, or within mechanical rooms where plumbers and contractors need a reliable branch fitting. The socket ends are sized to accept standard PVC pipe for a clean, cemented joint during rough-in work, and this tee is commonly specified alongside other Schedule 80 PVC fittings to maintain consistent pressure ratings and material compatibility throughout a piping run.

Key Features

  • Trade Size Range: Available in 1-1/2" and 2" sizes, giving installers a properly matched branch fitting for common rough-in pipe runs.
  • Durable PVC Construction: Molded from PVC in Schedule 80 wall thickness, offering the added strength and rigidity needed for demanding pressure piping applications.
  • Socket (SOC) Connection: Solvent-weld socket ends allow the tee to be cemented directly onto PVC pipe for a permanent, leak-resistant joint.
  • Three-Way Tee Configuration: Standard tee body provides a branch outlet for splitting or redirecting a PVC pipe run without cutting in a separate fitting assembly.
  • Schedule 80 Wall Thickness: Heavier wall construction than Schedule 40 fittings, suited to higher-pressure and industrial-grade PVC piping systems.
  • Corrosion-Resistant Material: PVC construction resists corrosion and many common chemicals found in industrial and commercial piping environments.
  • Rough-In Installation: Designed for use behind walls, under floors, or in mechanical spaces during rough-in plumbing work prior to wall closure.

Why Spears?

Spears manufactures PVC and CPVC pipe, fittings, and valves for pressure piping systems used across residential, commercial, and industrial plumbing installations. This tee is molded from PVC in Schedule 80 wall thickness for the added strength that demanding pressure piping applications require. Its socket (SOC) solvent-weld ends are designed to form a secure, permanent connection with PVC pipe, giving plumbers and contractors a dependable branch fitting for rough-in installation behind walls and under floors. Choosing matched Schedule 80 PVC fittings throughout a piping system helps maintain consistent wall thickness and connection integrity from fitting to fitting across the 1-1/2" to 2" size range.

Spears 801-015 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What sizes does the Spears Schedule 80 PVC socket tee come in, and what are the part numbers?
Two trade sizes: 1-1/2 inch (Spears 801-015) and 2 inch (Spears 801-020). Both are straight tees with all three ends socket for solvent weld, so the branch is the same size as the run. If you need a reducing branch, that is a different fitting number.
2) Can I use this PVC tee on a hot water line?
No. This is PVC, not CPVC. PVC is for cold water and ambient-temperature pressure and process piping. For hot water or elevated-temperature process lines, use a CPVC Schedule 80 tee of the same size and connection style instead.
3) Do I need threaded or socket ends for a Schedule 80 PVC tee?
These Spears tees are socket (SOC) only, meaning solvent cemented. Socket joints are the better choice on buried, concealed, or permanently installed runs because a cemented joint has no thread to leak or loosen. Choose a threaded (FPT) tee only where you need to break the connection later, such as at a pump, valve, or equipment tie-in.
4) Is Schedule 80 PVC worth it over Schedule 40 for an industrial branch connection?
Schedule 80 carries a heavier wall at the same outside diameter, which raises the pressure rating and adds rigidity. That matters on industrial and chemical process piping, pump discharge, and exposed runs that take mechanical abuse. For low-pressure drainage or standard irrigation laterals, Schedule 40 is usually enough. If any part of the run is Sch 80, keep the fittings Sch 80 so the rating stays consistent end to end.
5) What do I need besides the tee to make up the joint?
Nothing is included with the fitting itself. A solvent-weld socket joint needs PVC primer and PVC solvent cement rated for the pipe size, plus a clean square-cut, deburred pipe end. Sizes here are 1-1/2 inch and 2 inch, so use a heavy-bodied cement suited to that diameter. Do not use CPVC or ABS cement on PVC.
6) Can this PVC tee handle chemicals in a process line?
PVC resists corrosion and many common chemicals found in industrial and commercial piping, which is why Schedule 80 PVC is widely used on chemical-resistant process runs. Verify your specific chemical and its concentration against a PVC compatibility chart before committing, since PVC is not universally resistant.
7) Will a Schedule 80 PVC tee work for an underground irrigation branch?
Yes, irrigation and water distribution are listed applications, and the solvent-cemented socket joints suit buried work where you do not want threads underground. The 1-1/2 inch and 2 inch sizes cover typical mainline and large-lateral branches. For buried PVC, keep the joint fully cured before pressurizing and backfilling.
