Description
Schedule 80 CPVC Tee (SOC x SOC)
Schedule 80 CPVC Tee (SOC x SOC) provides a three-way branch connection within compatible CPVC piping. Socket connections receive appropriately sized compatible CPVC pipe while the tee configuration allows a branch line to connect to the main piping run.
The SOC x SOC tee configuration combines socket-style connection interfaces within one Schedule 80 CPVC fitting. Selection should account for nominal size, Schedule 80 CPVC compatibility, adjoining pipe, branch orientation, joining requirements, piping alignment, support, and available installation clearance.

Tee Design
The tee configuration provides three connection points within one fitting for compatible Schedule 80 CPVC piping layouts. The branch opening allows a third piping direction to connect to the main run while maintaining socket-style connections.
The tee orientation should be established before permanent joining so each connection aligns with the intended piping route. Planning the fitting position helps coordinate adjoining pipe, branch direction, nearby fittings, piping support, and available working clearance.
Socket Connections
The socket connections receive appropriately sized compatible CPVC pipe at each opening. Each adjoining pipe section should be matched to the correct nominal socket size before permanent assembly.
The mating pipe and socket surfaces should be prepared using the appropriate CPVC solvent-cement joining procedure. Compatible joining materials, proper insertion, correct tee orientation, and careful alignment help establish the connections without placing unnecessary stress on the fitting.
Schedule 80 CPVC Integration
The Schedule 80 CPVC construction allows the tee to integrate into compatible CPVC piping arrangements requiring a three-way branch connection. Matching the nominal size and socket interfaces to the adjoining CPVC pipe helps maintain the intended piping configuration.
Application suitability should be evaluated using the requirements of the complete piping system rather than the schedule designation alone. Intended service conditions, adjoining materials, connection compatibility, joining materials, piping support, and applicable practices should all be considered during fitting selection.
Three-Way Branch Connection
A Schedule 80 CPVC Tee provides a compact way to introduce a branch connection into a compatible CPVC piping run. The center branch can be positioned according to the required piping layout and adjoining pipe arrangement.
Installation planning should consider socket insertion, branch orientation, adjoining pipe alignment, nearby fittings, available clearance, and piping support. Connected pipe should align naturally so the tee is not relied upon to correct offsets or support improperly positioned piping.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the nominal size.
- Verify the socket configuration.
- Check Schedule 80 CPVC compatibility.
- Confirm the required branch orientation.
- Match each socket to the adjoining CPVC pipe.
Our CPVC fitting specialists can help review your nominal size, Schedule 80 requirements, socket configuration, adjoining CPVC pipe, branch orientation, joining requirements, piping alignment, support requirements, and available installation clearance before you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Schedule 80 CPVC Tee used for?
It provides a three-way branch connection within compatible Schedule 80 CPVC piping.
What does SOC mean?
SOC identifies a socket-style connection designed to receive appropriately sized compatible CPVC pipe.
How many connections does this tee have?
The tee provides three connection points arranged as a main run with a branch connection.
How are the socket connections assembled?
Compatible CPVC pipe is joined using the appropriate CPVC solvent-cement preparation and assembly procedure.
How should the tee be oriented?
The tee should be positioned so the main run and branch align naturally with the intended piping layout.
What should I confirm before ordering?
Confirm the nominal size, socket configuration, Schedule 80 CPVC compatibility, adjoining CPVC pipe, and required branch orientation.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Inspect all sockets before use.
- Confirm the nominal connection size.
- Prepare each pipe end correctly.
- Align adjoining piping before cementing.
- Set the tee orientation before final assembly.
