PVC Pipe Fitting Tee Schedule 40 1-1/2 Socket White

The Spears 401 series tee pipe fitting is a T-shaped fitting with three openings made of schedule 40 PVC. It is designed to connect and branch three pipes, with two on the main run and one branch at a 90-degree angle from the middle of the tee. The dimensions of the tee are represented as A x B x C, with "A" and "B" indicating the main run on the fitting, and "C" indicating the branch. It features female slip openings, or "sockets" for sliding over the ends of male unthreaded pipes, providing a smooth bore for enhanced flow. This schedule 40 (standard wall) fitting is made of PVC for corrosion resistance, high strength, and less weight than fittings made from metal. It is compatible with schedule 40 PVC pipes and fittings and suitable for cold-water pressure distribution systems including irrigation, pool and spa, potable water, and chilled water applications. PVC can be connected to other materials such as steel, copper, or cast iron using transition fittings. The tee pipe fitting provides superior flow to metal due to its smooth interior finish, which reduces friction and inhibits buildup of materials.

Pipe fittings are essential components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in various industries. When purchasing pipe fittings, the application must be considered, as this will affect the material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in various shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness). Spears Manufacturing produces thermoplastic fittings and valves for fluid, drain, waste, and vent systems. The company, founded in 1969 and headquartered in Sylmar, CA, meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 9001.

In summary, the Spears 401 series tee pipe fitting is designed with three openings for connecting and branching three pipes, featuring slip openings for connecting to male unthreaded pipes or fittings. Made of PVC, it offers corrosion resistance, high strength, and less weight than metal fittings. The smooth interior finish reduces friction and inhibits the buildup of materials, providing superior flow to metal fittings. This versatile fitting is suitable for a wide range of applications and is compatible with schedule 40 PVC pipes and fittings.
