1" FNPT PVC Tee Schedule 80

The P-WAT-2917 is a critical plumbing component used to create a branch line off a main fluid run. Since it is constructed from thick-walled Schedule 80 PVC, it possesses the highest hydrostatic strength rating for PVC components, making it ideal for pressurized and corrosive systems within the car wash.

Construction and Specifications

• Fitting Type: Tee (allows for a 90-degree branch from a main line).
• Connection Size: 1 inch on all three ports.
• End Style: Female NPT (FNPT) on all three sides. This means all connections are threaded to receive male-threaded pipe or fittings.
• Pipe Schedule: Schedule 80 (SCH 80), providing superior wall thickness and strength.
• Class Rating: Rated for 300 lb. Class, emphasizing its durability for pressurized systems.
• Material: PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), typically a Dark Grey color.
• Temperature Range: Safe operating temperature range of 0°F to 140°F.

Application in Car Wash Systems

This tee is widely used in the facility's back room for water management due to its corrosion resistance:

• Water Treatment Center Tank Units: Used in the piping for water softeners, filters, and chemical treatment units.
• 1000 Reject Water Tank: Employed in the plumbing associated with handling or routing reject water (e.g., from Reverse Osmosis systems).

The use of PVC ensures the system remains lightweight, maintenance-free, and highly resistant to rust and corrosion, creating a leak-free system when properly installed.
