Lesso UV401-005 Sch 40 Pvc Tee 1/2 Inch Sss Uvr

Product Description

The LESSO UV401-005 is a Schedule 40 PVC tee fitting in a 1/2 inch socket-by-socket-by-socket (SSS) configuration with UV-resistant construction. This fitting is designed to join three sections of 1/2 inch PVC pipe at a 90-degree branch point in low-pressure piping systems. The UV-resistant (UVR) rating makes it suitable for installations exposed to sunlight, including outdoor plumbing runs and above-ground irrigation or pool plumbing. Licensed plumbers and irrigation contractors install this fitting using solvent cement per standard PVC joining procedures. At 0.06 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to handle during installation.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, and pool or spa piping systems where 1/2 inch Schedule 40 PVC pipe is the specified material. The SSS end configuration allows all three ports to be solvent-welded directly to plain-end PVC pipe. The UV-resistant formulation makes it appropriate for exposed outdoor runs where standard gray or white PVC may degrade under prolonged UV exposure.

Installation Notes
