What is AGM cpvc Tee 1-1/2″ ?

 

Specifications

The AGM CPVC Tee 1-1/2″ (nominal size: 1.5 inches or 40 mm) is produced to Schedule 80 (Sch 80) standards, providing thicker walls for higher pressure handling. Key specifications include:

These specs ensure compatibility with AGM CPVC pipes and other Sch 80 CPVC systems. Availability ranges from 1/2″ to 4″ sizes, with the 1-1/2″ being common for mid-sized installations.

Installation

Installation of the AGM CPVC Tee 1-1/2″ is straightforward, lightweight, and requires minimal tools, typically completed in under 10 minutes per joint. Follow these steps for optimal results (always adhere to local plumbing codes, such as IPC/UPC or SASO guidelines):

1. Preparation:
   • Cut pipes square using a fine-tooth saw or PVC cutter. Deburr edges with a file or deburring tool to prevent interference.
   • Dry-fit the tee to ensure proper alignment and alignment of branch line (do not exceed 90° angles).
   • Work in ambient temperatures between 40°F (4°C) and 110°F (43°C); avoid direct sunlight.
2. Solvent Cementing:
   • Use CPVC-specific primer (e.g., Oatey CPVC Primer) and medium-bodied CPVC cement (e.g., Christy’s Red Hot Blue Glue or equivalent NSF-listed).
   • Apply primer to the pipe end and socket interior with a dauber, rotating 1/4 turn.
   • Immediately apply cement to the pipe end, then insert into the socket with a 1/4-turn twist for full coverage. Hold for 30 seconds to set.
   • Assembly time: Within 15-30 seconds of priming; cure time: 15-30 minutes before pressure testing (full cure: 24 hours).
3. Support and Testing:
   • Support pipes every 3-4 feet horizontally and 5-6 feet vertically to prevent sagging.
   • Pressure test the system at 1.5x operating pressure (e.g., 150 PSI for hot water) for 2 hours after curing.
   • Avoid threading or mechanical joints unless using transition fittings; no heat or open flames near CPVC.

Tools needed: Primer/cement, dauber, chamfer tool, level. AGM fittings are easy to handle due to their light weight (60% lighter than metal alternatives), reducing labor costs by up to 50%.

Usage

The AGM CPVC Tee 1-1/2″ is versatile for residential, commercial, and industrial plumbing, particularly where hot water is involved. Primary applications include:

• Hot and Cold Water Distribution: Branching lines in potable water systems, showers, sinks, and appliances (e.g., geysers/water heaters). Handles chlorinated water without degradation.
• Heating and Cooling Systems: Radiant floor heating, hydronic heating, and chilled water loops up to 93°C.
• Fire Sprinkler Systems: Compatible with FM/UL-approved variants for automatic sprinklers (non-pressurized side).
• Industrial Uses: Corrosive liquid handling, deionized water lines, chemical processing, and wastewater treatment where temperatures exceed 140°F (60°C) for PVC.
• Limitations: Not for compressed air/gas, electrical conduit, or outdoor UV exposure (bury or paint if needed). Rated for continuous pressure; derate for elevated temperatures (e.g., 50% reduction at 93°C).
