PVC Tee Fitting, Schedule 40, 1-1/2 x 1/2 Socket, White

The Spears 401 series tee pipe fitting is made of schedule 40 PVC with slip connections. This T-shaped fitting has three openings - two on the main run and one at a 90-degree angle from the middle of the tee. The 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 has female slip openings or "sockets" for sliding over the ends of male unthreaded pipes and connects to pipes with a smooth bore for enhanced flow. The PVC material provides corrosion resistance, high strength, and is lighter than metal fittings. This fitting is compatible with schedule 40 PVC pipes and fittings and is suitable for various applications such as cold-water pressure distribution systems, irrigation, pool and spa, potable water, and chilled water systems. It can also be connected to other materials such as steel, copper, or cast iron using transition fittings. The smooth interior finish of this tee pipe fitting reduces friction and inhibits the buildup of materials, providing superior flow compared to metal fittings.

Pipe fittings are essential components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in various industries.
