Charlotte Pipe Pvc 02401 2900HA 3/4x3/4x1/2 Pvc Reducing Tee

Product Description

The Charlotte Pipe Foundry Co. PVC 02401 2900HA is a PVC Schedule 40 reducing tee designed for use in sprinkler and irrigation piping systems. It features a 3/4-inch slip inlet, a 3/4-inch slip outlet, and a 1/2-inch female iron pipe (FIP) branch connection. The tee allows a main run of 3/4-inch pipe to branch down to a 1/2-inch threaded fitting or lateral line without the need for a separate bushing or adapter. Manufactured to meet ASTM D 2466 requirements, this fitting is suitable for cold-water pressure applications in residential and light commercial irrigation layouts. Licensed plumbers and irrigation installers are the typical end users.

This reducing tee is used in PVC pressure piping systems for lawn sprinkler and drip or spray irrigation installations. The slip-by-slip main run accepts standard Schedule 40 PVC pipe with solvent cement, while the FIP branch accepts a threaded male fitting or riser. It is well-suited for residential yard irrigation zones, athletic field irrigation headers, and similar cold-water distribution systems where a reduction in branch size is required mid-run. The package quantity is 25 fittings per unit, making it practical for contractors stocking for multi-zone projects.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or certified irrigation contractors. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before cutting into an existing line. Use a PVC pipe cutter and apply an approved primer and solvent cement to all slip connections per the fitting manufacturer instructions and applicable plumbing code. Do not apply solvent cement to the FIP branch threads; use PTFE tape or approved thread sealant on threaded male connections only.
