PVC05T-80S, 1/2" Slip Tee, 3801S005

Durable 1/2" Slip Tee PVC Fitting for Reliable Commercial RO System Integration

When building or maintaining commercial reverse osmosis (RO) systems, dependable plumbing components are essential to prevent leaks and ensure consistent water flow. The PVC05T-80S, 1/2" Slip Tee from Water Softener Plus offers a robust, corrosion-resistant solution designed specifically for commercial RO components. Its slip tee design simplifies installation and enhances system efficiency, making it a trusted choice for water treatment professionals.

Key Benefits

• Ensures leak-free connections to maintain system integrity under pressure
• Resists corrosion and chemical damage for long-lasting performance
• Simplifies installation with slip connections, saving time and labor costs
• Compatible with standard 1/2" tubing commonly used in commercial RO systems
• Lightweight yet strong, reducing stress on piping and support structures
• Facilitates efficient water flow distribution within complex water treatment setups

How It Works

This 1/2" slip tee acts as a critical junction point within commercial reverse osmosis plumbing systems, allowing three pipes to be connected in a T-shaped configuration. The slip design means the pipes slide directly into the fitting, creating a secure, solvent-welded bond that ensures a watertight seal. This helps direct purified water or feedwater flow precisely where needed without pressure loss or leaks.

By integrating this PVC slip tee, system builders can branch or combine water lines efficiently, supporting various filtration stages or output streams within the RO setup. Its chemical-resistant PVC material withstands exposure to common treatment chemicals and prevents degradation over time.

What to Expect

Upon installation, you will notice a secure and stable connection point that supports your commercial RO system’s plumbing without leaks or weakening. In the first weeks of operation, the slip tee maintains consistent flow rates and pressure, contributing to overall system performance.

Over the longer term, expect minimal maintenance as the PVC housing resists cracking, corrosion, or warping even in demanding commercial water treatment environments. Periodic inspections are recommended to ensure solvent weld joints remain intact, but typically this component delivers reliable service throughout the lifecycle of your RO system.

What’s Inside

• High-grade PVC body – Provides chemical resistance and durability under commercial water treatment conditions
• Slip connection ends – Enable easy solvent welding for strong, leak-proof joints
• Standard 1/2" diameter – Matches common RO tubing sizes for seamless integration

How to Use

1. Cut tubing ends squarely to ensure proper fit with the 1/2" slip tee.
2. Clean and apply primer and solvent cement to both the pipe ends and inside the fitting sockets.
3. Quickly insert tubing into the slip tee sockets, twisting slightly to evenly distribute the cement.
4. Hold the joint firmly for several seconds to allow initial bonding.
5. Allow the assembly to cure according to solvent cement manufacturer instructions before pressurizing the system.
6. Inspect all connections for leaks during initial system startup.
