Description
Schedule 80 PVC Street Tee (SPG x SOC x SOC)
Schedule 80 PVC Street Tee (SPG x SOC x SOC) provides a three-way connection for compatible Schedule 80 PVC piping using one spigot connection and two socket connections. The mixed connection configuration allows the fitting to connect directly into a compatible receiving socket while accepting appropriately sized PVC pipe at the remaining socket openings.
The street tee configuration combines a straight-through piping path with a branch connection while incorporating a spigot end on one side of the fitting. Selection should account for nominal size, Schedule 80 PVC compatibility, spigot and socket positions, branch orientation, adjoining pipe and fitting connections, joining materials, and available installation clearance.

Street Tee Design
The street tee configuration provides three connection points while incorporating a spigot end directly into the fitting body. This arrangement allows the tee to enter a compatible receiving socket without requiring a separate section of pipe between the tee and the adjoining socket-style component.
The position of the spigot and socket connections should be identified before permanent joining so each opening corresponds with the intended piping route. Planning the tee orientation in advance helps coordinate the straight run, branch direction, adjoining fittings, pipe lengths, and available working clearance.
Spigot & Socket Connections
The spigot connection is designed to enter an appropriately sized compatible receiving socket, while the two socket connections receive compatible PVC pipe. This mixed connection arrangement provides flexibility where the piping layout requires the tee to connect directly to an existing socket-style fitting or component.
All mating surfaces should be prepared using installation practices appropriate for the PVC piping system. Compatible joining materials, adequate insertion, proper alignment, and correct tee orientation help establish each connection while reducing unnecessary mechanical stress on the fitting and adjoining piping.
Schedule 80 PVC Integration
The Schedule 80 PVC construction allows the street tee to integrate into compatible Schedule 80 PVC piping arrangements requiring a three-way connection. Matching the nominal size and each connection style to the adjoining pipe or fitting helps maintain compatibility throughout the straight run and branch connection.
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, installation environment, piping support, and applicable practices should all be considered during street tee selection.
Three-Way Piping Connection
A Schedule 80 PVC Street Tee provides a compact connection point where a branch must be added to a compatible piping run. The SPG x SOC x SOC arrangement can simplify certain layouts by allowing one end of the tee to connect directly into a compatible socket while retaining socket connections for the other piping sections.
Installation planning should consider branch orientation, spigot insertion, socket insertion, adjoining pipe lengths, nearby fittings, available clearance, and independent piping support. Each connected component should approach the tee in proper alignment so the fitting is not relied upon to correct offsets or support improperly positioned piping.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the nominal size.
- Verify the required branch orientation.
- Check Schedule 80 PVC compatibility.
- Identify the spigot connection position.
- Match each connection to the piping layout.
Our PVC fitting specialists can help review your nominal size, Schedule 80 requirements, SPG x SOC x SOC configuration, spigot position, socket connections, branch orientation, adjoining PVC pipe and fittings, joining requirements, piping layout, and available installation clearance before you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Schedule 80 PVC Street Tee used for?
It provides a three-way connection in compatible Schedule 80 PVC piping using one spigot connection and two socket connections.
What does SPG mean?
SPG identifies a spigot-style connection designed to fit into an appropriately sized compatible receiving socket.
What does SOC mean?
SOC identifies a socket-style connection designed to receive appropriately sized compatible PVC pipe.
Why is this fitting called a street tee?
The street configuration incorporates a spigot connection that can fit directly into a compatible receiving socket rather than requiring pipe between the two components.
How many connections does this tee have?
The tee has three connections: one spigot connection and two socket connections.
How are the connections assembled?
The compatible PVC components are joined using the appropriate PVC solvent-cement preparation and assembly procedure for each connection.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Inspect all connections before use.
- Prepare each mating surface correctly.
- Identify the spigot position before joining.
- Use compatible PVC joining materials throughout.
- Support adjoining piping after completing the assembly.
