The CPVC Solvent Cement Reducer Tee is a reducing socket tee in chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) with two equal run ports and one smaller branch port, all bonded by CPVC solvent cement. The CPVC Solvent Cement Reducer Tee takes a smaller branch directly off the main in potable water and industrial corrosive piping, removing a separate tee and reducer and their extra glued joints. Rated to 90°C with a smooth transition, this CPVC solvent cement reducer tee withstands most acids, alkalis and oxidizing media.

Key Features of CPVC Solvent Cement Reducer Tee
- Two equal run sockets plus one smaller branch socket molded in one fitting.
- All ports bond with CPVC solvent cement into permanent, monolithic glued joints.
- Replaces a separate tee plus reducer, cutting joints and potential leak points.
- Long-term service up to 90°C; resists acids, alkalis, salts and oxidizing media.
- Smooth molded transition keeps branch flow balanced; flame-retardant CPVC.
Manufacturing Process of CPVC Solvent Cement Reducer Tee
Each CPVC Solvent Cement Reducer Tee is injection molded as a single CPVC piece with a concentric reducing branch, then socket-finished and gauge-inspected 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 Reducer 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 Reducer 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 Reducer Tee
- Smaller take-offs from potable water mains and riser branches.
- Reduced branches feeding equipment in water treatment and RO systems.
- Instrument and dosing branches on chemical and acid/alkali lines.
- Glued reducer tees in compact ultrapure water skids for pharma and electronics.
- Corrosive branch transitions in desalination and seawater systems.
Application Scenarios of CPVC Solvent Cement Reducer Tee
When a branch is smaller than the main, the CPVC Solvent Cement Reducer Tee does the job of a tee plus reducer in one permanently glued fitting for water and corrosive process lines.
