PVC Pipe Fitting Tee, Schedule 40, White, 1-1/4 Socket Pack of 5

The Spears 401 series tee pipe fitting is constructed of schedule 40 PVC with slip connections. This T-shaped fitting features three openings to connect and branch three pipes, with two on the main run and one at a 90-degree angle from the middle of the tee. Pipe dimensions for tees are represented as A x B x C, with "A" and "B" indicating the main run and "C" indicating the branch. It is equipped with female slip openings or "sockets" for easily sliding over the ends of male unthreaded pipes. The slip ends are designed to connect to pipes with a smooth bore for improved flow and efficiency.

Made of PVC, this schedule 40 fitting provides corrosion resistance, high strength, and weighs less than metal fittings. It is compatible with schedule 40 PVC pipes and fittings, making it suitable for cold-water pressure distribution systems, including irrigation, pool and spa, potable water, and chilled water applications. Additionally, PVC can be connected to other materials such as steel, copper, or cast iron using transition fittings.

With a smooth interior finish, this tee pipe fitting delivers superior flow compared to metal counterparts by reducing friction and inhibiting the buildup of materials. Pipe fittings play key roles in connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in various industries. When purchasing pipe fittings, it's important to consider the application, material type, shape, size, and required durability.
