PVC Pipe Fitting, Tee, Schedule 40, White, 3/4 x 1 Socket

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

Featuring female slip openings, or "sockets," this fitting is designed for sliding over the ends of male unthreaded pipes. The slip ends are compatible with pipes that have a smooth bore, promoting enhanced flow. Constructed of schedule 40 PVC, this fitting offers corrosion resistance, high strength, and is lighter in weight compared to metal fittings. It is suitable for use with schedule 40 PVC pipes and fittings, making it ideal for cold-water pressure distribution systems, including irrigation, pool and spa, potable water, and chilled water applications.

PVC can also be connected to materials such as steel, copper, or cast iron using transition fittings. With its smooth interior finish, this tee pipe fitting provides superior flow compared to metal fittings, reducing friction and inhibiting the buildup of materials.

Pipe fittings are crucial components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and altering the direction of piping in various industries. When selecting pipe fittings, it's important to consider the application as this will impact the material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available in threaded or unthreaded options, in a variety of shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).
