Charlotte Pipe Pvc 02400 4000HA 3/4x3/4x1/2 Reducing Tee

Product Description

The Charlotte Pipe Foundry Co. PVC 02400 4000HA is a white PVC reducing tee designed to connect a smaller branch line to a straight run of pipe. The fitting uses a slip x slip x slip connection on all three ports, accepting solvent-cement joints for a fast, reliable seal. The run ports measure 3/4 inches and the branch port reduces to 1/2 inch, making it well suited to flow-distribution layouts where volume steps down at a takeoff point. This fitting meets ASTM D 2466 requirements and is sold in packages of 25, supporting job-site efficiency for irrigation contractors and plumbing technicians working production installs.

This reducing tee is used primarily in residential and light commercial sprinkler and irrigation systems where a 1/2-inch branch must be tapped off a 3/4-inch main line. It is also applicable in low-pressure water distribution, lawn irrigation manifolds, and similar PVC Schedule 40 piping layouts. The all-slip configuration makes it compatible with standard PVC pipe cut to length and solvent-welded on site.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers, irrigation technicians, or qualified pipefitters working with PVC Schedule 40 systems. Before making any connections, shut off and depressurize the supply line completely. Solvent-cement both the pipe ends and the fitting sockets using a PVC primer and cement rated for the application, following manufacturer dwell and cure times before restoring flow. Local plumbing and irrigation codes may apply; verify compliance with applicable IPC or jurisdiction-specific requirements before installation.
