1/2 in. Female NPT Schedule 80 PVC Tee
Overview
The Midland 805005 is a Schedule 80 PVC tee with three 1/2 in. female NPT ports. It splits or combines flow in a threaded 1/2 in. line and lets you add a branch without solvent cement. The gray Schedule 80 body gives the heavier wall and higher pressure capability used in industrial chemical and process piping.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose Schedule 80 over 40?
Schedule 80 has a thicker wall and higher pressure rating, which suits industrial and chemical service. See the Schedule 40 vs 80 guide.
Are all three ports threaded?
Yes. All three are 1/2 in. female NPT, so each connects to a male pipe thread.
How tight should PVC threads be?
Use PTFE tape or pipe dope, hand-tighten, then add roughly one to two turns. Over-tightening can crack PVC.
What part crosses to it?
4596K32 is a listed industry crossover; match the 1/2 in. three-port Sch 80 NPT configuration to confirm.
