Spears 401 Series 3 PVC Tee Fitting, Schedule 40, White

This Spears 401 series tee pipe fitting, made of schedule 40 PVC, has slip connections and is T-shaped with three openings for connecting and branching three pipes. Two of the openings are on the main run, while the third branches at a 90-degree angle from the middle of the tee. The pipe dimensions for this tee fitting are represented as A x B x C, with "A" and "B" indicating the main run and "C" indicating the branch.

The female slip openings, or "sockets," are designed to slide over the ends of male unthreaded pipes, and the slip ends connect to pipes with a smooth bore for enhanced flow. This schedule 40 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 also be connected to other materials such as steel, copper, or cast iron using transition fittings, offering versatile application possibilities. The tee pipe fitting provides superior flow compared to metal, thanks to its smooth interior finish, which reduces friction and inhibits the buildup of materials.

In many different industries, pipe fittings are used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping. When purchasing pipe fittings, it's important to consider the application, as this will affect the material type, shape, size, and required durability. The fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in a variety of shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).

Spears Manufacturing, founded in 1969 and headquartered in Sylmar, CA, produces thermoplastic fittings and valves for fluid, drain, waste, and vent systems, meeting the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 9001. The company's tee pipe fitting with three openings is an excellent choice for connecting and branching three pipes, offering slip openings for connecting to male unthreaded pipes or fitting. It is made of PVC for corrosion resistance, high strength, and less weight than fittings made from metal, with a smooth interior finish for reduced friction and buildup of materials.
