Ipex 401168 Pvc Sch 40 Reducing Tee 1-1/4 X 1 in

Product Description

The IPEX 401168 is a Schedule 40 PVC reducing tee fitting designed for pressure-rated piping systems across a wide range of commercial and residential applications. It features a 1-1/4 inch by 1-1/4 inch by 1 inch nominal configuration with slip connections on all three ports, accommodating solvent-welded PVC pipe. The fitting is injection molded from Type 1 PVC material and carries a pressure rating of 370 psi at 73 degrees F (non-shock) with a maximum temperature rating of 140 degrees F. NSF/ANSI 61 and NSF/ANSI 14 certification confirms suitability for potable water contact. This is a lead-free fitting appropriate for licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on new construction or retrofit installations.

This reducing tee is suited for irrigation systems, residential and commercial plumbing, pool and spa piping, industrial process lines, chilled water systems, drainage runs, agricultural water distribution, water and wastewater treatment, and chemical processing applications. The reducing outlet allows a branch connection to step down from 1-1/4 inch to 1 inch pipe without an additional bushing or coupling, simplifying layout in tight or multi-circuit runs.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard component for Schedule 40 PVC slip-joint piping systems in plumbing, irrigation, pool and spa, and industrial applications. Compatible with standard Schedule 40 PVC pipe conforming to applicable ASTM dimensional standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter following local plumbing codes and ASTM F402 solvent cementing guidelines. Depressurize and drain the line fully before cutting into any existing system. Use the correct primer and PVC solvent cement for Schedule 40 pipe and fittings, and allow full cure time before pressure testing. Do not exceed the rated operating temperature or pressure for this fitting.
