401 Series PVC Pipe Fitting Tee 2 Socket Schedule 40 White

The Spears 401 series tee pipe fitting is constructed of schedule 40 PVC and features slip connections. This T-shaped fitting has three openings, allowing for the connection and branching of three pipes. Two of the openings are located on the main run, while the third branch is at a 90-degree angle from the middle of the tee. Pipe dimensions for tees are represented as A x B x C. "A" and "B" represent the main run on the fitting, while "C" indicates the branch.

It is equipped with female slip openings, also known as "sockets", designed for sliding over the ends of male unthreaded pipes. The slip ends connect to pipes with a smooth bore, enhancing flow. Made of schedule 40 PVC, this standard wall fitting offers corrosion resistance, high strength, and is lighter in weight compared to metal fittings. It is compatible with schedule 40 PVC pipes and fittings, suitable for cold-water pressure distribution systems including irrigation, pool and spa, potable water, and chilled water applications. It also provides the flexibility to be connected to other materials such as steel, copper, or cast iron using transition fittings.

This tee pipe fitting boasts a smooth interior finish, resulting in reduced friction and inhibiting the buildup of materials, thus providing superior flow compared to metal fittings. These fittings play an important role in connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in various industries. When selecting pipe fittings, it is crucial to consider the application to determine material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available in threaded or unthreaded options, in various shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).
