Description
The Charlotte Pipe PVC 08400 1600HA is a Schedule 80 PVC tee fitting designed for pressure piping systems that demand greater wall thickness and impact resistance than Schedule 40. This gray PVC tee uses a Slip x Slip x Slip (SxSxS) socket configuration, accepting solvent-welded connections on all three ports. Sized at 1-1/4 inches, it is a standard branch fitting used by plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians to create a 90-degree branch off a main run. Its heavier Schedule 80 wall construction is suited for applications where elevated pressure ratings or mechanical protection are required.
This fitting is used in residential, commercial, and light industrial piping installations where PVC Schedule 80 pressure pipe is specified. Common applications include cold and ambient-temperature water distribution, chemical handling lines, irrigation manifolds, and industrial process piping. It is typically installed in exposed or conduit-run systems where the added wall strength of Schedule 80 material provides a measurable advantage over standard Schedule 40 fittings. Universal Part 801-012 cross-reference may assist procurement and replacement sourcing.

- Packaged in quantities of 10 per unit, suitable for project or stocking orders
Compatibility
Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for 1-1/4 inch PVC Schedule 80 pressure piping systems using solvent-welded slip connections. Universal Part 801-012 cross-reference applies per supplier data.
Installation Notes
Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following local plumbing codes and applicable ASTM standards for solvent-welded PVC pressure fittings. Ensure the pipe and fitting sockets are clean, dry, and deburred before applying primer and solvent cement per the cement manufacturer instructions. Allow full cure time before pressurizing the system. Do not use this fitting on hot-water or steam lines unless the system pressure and temperature ratings have been independently verified against Schedule 80 PVC published ratings.
