PVC Pipe Fitting Tee 2 Socket x 1/2 NPT Female

This Spears schedule 40 PVC tee fitting features socket openings at each end, along with female NPT threads on the branch, allowing for the connection of three pipes. The smooth bore of the socket ends enhances flow, while the National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads create a tighter seal than straight threads. With a T-shaped design, it boasts three openings for connecting and branching three pipes, with two on the main run and one at a 90-degree angle from the middle of the tee. Pipe dimensions are represented as A x B x C, with “A” and “B” indicating the main run and “C” indicating the branch.

Made of white PVC (polyvinyl chloride), this fitting offers chemical and corrosion resistance, high strength, and less weight than 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. PVC can also be connected to steel, copper, or cast iron using transition fittings. The fitting has a maximum operating temperature of 140 degrees F, meets ASTM International D1784 and D2466 standards for quality assurance, and is certified by the National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF) for potable water service. This schedule 40 PVC tee fitting is appropriate for connecting pipes for conveying drinking water, waste water, chemicals, and other liquids in various industries.

Pipe fittings play a crucial role in connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in a wide range of industries. When selecting pipe fittings, it is important to consider the application, as this will impact material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in various shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).
