1401 Series PVC Tube Fitting, Tee, Schedule 40, Gray, 1-1/4 x 1 Barbed

This 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 connections to flexible tubing. The T-shaped fitting has three openings, two on the main run and one branch at a 90-degree angle from the middle of the tee, allowing for the connection and branching of three tubes. The dimensions for tees are represented as A x B x C, with “A” and “B” indicating the main run on the fitting, and “C” indicating the branch.

Made of gray PVC (polyvinyl chloride), this fitting offers chemical and corrosion resistance, high strength, and is lighter in weight compared to fittings made from metal. 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 National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF) for potable water service.

This PVC tee fitting is suitable for connecting flexible polyethylene tubing for a variety of liquid transfer applications. Tube fittings serve as components used for connecting, branching, terminating, and changing the direction of tubing in pneumatic and hydraulic systems. They are commonly made of materials such as brass, stainless steel, and PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) to resist corrosion and wear. Tube fittings come in various types of connections, including threaded, welded, barbed, and push-to-connect options, which do not require tools or sealants.

Used in a wide range of applications, tube fittings are crucial components in machine tools, airplane and truck controls, and automated production lines, among others. Spears Manufacturing, founded in 1969 and headquartered in Sylmar, CA, is a leading producer of thermoplastic fittings and valves for fluid, drain, waste, and vent systems. The company meets the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 9001.
