1401 Series PVC Tee Fitting, Schedule 40, 1 x 1/2 Gray, Barbed

The Spears schedule 40 PVC tee fitting features barbed male inserts on both ends, making it ideal for connecting and branching flexible polyethylene tubes. The barbed ends allow for quick and easy connection to the tubing. This T-shaped fitting has three openings to connect and branch three tubes, with two on the main run and one branch at a 90-degree angle from the middle of the tee. The dimensions for the tees are represented as A x B x C, where "A" and "B" indicate the main run on the fitting, and "C" indicates the branch.

Constructed of gray PVC (polyvinyl chloride), this fitting is designed for chemical and corrosion resistance, high strength, and is lighter than metal fittings. It is compatible with SIDR-PR (standard inside dimension ratios, pressure rated) flexible polyethylene tubing according to ASTM International standard D2239, or standard D2104 schedule 40 polyethylene tubing. With a maximum operating temperature of 140 degrees F, it meets ASTM International D1784 and D2609 standards for quality assurance, and is certified by the National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF) for potable water service.

This PVC tee fitting is suitable for a range of liquid transfer applications and is perfect for connecting flexible polyethylene tubing. Tube fittings play a crucial role in connecting, branching, terminating, and changing the direction of tubing in pneumatic and hydraulic systems. They are made of various materials such as brass, stainless steel, PBT (polybutylene terephthalate), and others known for their corrosion resistance and durability. Additionally, tube fittings come in various types of connections, including threaded, welded, barbed, and push-to-connect. The push-to-connect connections do not require tools or sealants. Tube fittings are used in a wide range of applications, including machine tools, airplane and truck controls, and automated production lines.
