Sch80 TEE (SOC x SOC x SOC)
Product Overview
System shutdowns during the height of the summer heat can lead to rapid turf degradation and substantial crop loss, leaving your clients frustrated and your crews scrambling for repairs. When a standard fitting fails under pressure, the resulting leaks and water waste often lead to failed inspections and costly rework that eats into your profit margins. With supply shortages and unpredictable lead times affecting the irrigation industry, waiting until a break occurs is a high risk strategy. Securing your inventory now ensures that your projects stay on schedule and your service calls are resolved on the first visit, providing the reliability your professional reputation depends on.
The Lesso Schedule 80 PVC Tee offers a significant technical advantage over standard Schedule 40 alternatives by providing thicker walls designed to handle higher internal pressures and harsher environmental conditions. This extra durability means fewer callbacks for cracked fittings and a longer service life for the entire manifold or lateral line. By opting for Schedule 80, you reduce long term maintenance costs for your clients and streamline your labor by using a product that stands up to the rigors of heavy duty commercial use. Maintaining a stock of these high grade fittings gives your firm a competitive edge by allowing you to tackle more demanding hydraulic specifications without delay.

Installation Notes
Ensure that all socket ends and pipe surfaces are cleaned and deburred before assembly to allow for a proper interference fit. Apply a high quality primer and solvent cement according to the manufacturer instructions, ensuring the pipe is fully bottomed out in the fitting and held for 30 seconds to prevent push out. Follow all local plumbing codes regarding pressure testing and cure times before pressurizing the system to avoid joint failure.
