The CPVC Solvent Cement Equal Tee is a three-way socket tee in chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) with three identical ports, each bonded by CPVC solvent cement into a permanent glued joint. The CPVC Solvent Cement Equal Tee branches a same-size line off the main in potable water and industrial corrosive-media systems without threads, gaskets or hot work. Rated to 90°C with a smooth balanced bore, this CPVC solvent cement equal tee resists scaling and most acids, alkalis and oxidizing media.

Key Features of CPVC Solvent Cement Equal Tee
- Three identical solvent-cement sockets for a full-size branch off the main run.
- All three ports bond with CPVC solvent cement into permanent, monolithic glued joints.
- Balanced molded flow junction splits flow evenly with minimal turbulence.
- Long-term service up to 90°C; resists acids, alkalis, salts and oxidizing media.
- No threads, gaskets or hot work; smooth bore and flame-retardant CPVC body.
Manufacturing Process of CPVC Solvent Cement Equal Tee
Each CPVC Solvent Cement Equal Tee is injection molded in one shot from CPVC compound to keep the three bores concentric, then socket-reamed and gauge-checked before solvent-cement bonding. Solvent cement is applied to the cleaned socket and pipe spigot, which are then held until the glued joint cures into a single continuous CPVC structure.
Critical Process Parameters of CPVC Solvent Cement Equal Tee
- CPVC compound is processed inside its narrow melt-temperature window to avoid degradation.
- Socket inner diameter and spigot interference are controlled to the CPVC solvent-cement fit tolerance.
- Cement coating is even and full-length; set and cure times follow the cement manufacturer schedule before pressure testing.
- Wall-thickness uniformity and roundness are checked to safeguard pressure rating.
- 100% visual and dimensional inspection, with batch pressure and hydrostatic testing.
Raw Material Characteristics of CPVC Solvent Cement Equal Tee
- Body in CPVC (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride), joined with CPVC solvent cement.
- Long-term service temperature up to 90°C, well above conventional UPVC.
- Excellent resistance to acids, alkalis, salts and many oxidizing media.
- Flame retardant and self-extinguishing with a high limiting oxygen index (LOI).
- Smooth non-scaling inner surface keeps flow efficient and biofilm low.
Typical Applications of CPVC Solvent Cement Equal Tee
- Same-size branches in potable hot and cold water distribution manifolds.
- Take-off lines in water treatment, RO and chemical-feed skids.
- Branch junctions in acid and alkali process piping for plating plants.
- Glued equal tees in ultrapure water distribution for semiconductor fabs.
- Corrosive branch lines in pulp, paper and desalination systems.
Application Scenarios of CPVC Solvent Cement Equal Tee
For same-size branches that must stay sealed for decades, the CPVC Solvent Cement Equal Tee is the standard glued three-way fitting in water supply and industrial corrosive piping.
