Lesso UV401-012 Sch 40 Pvc Tee 1-1/4 Inch Sss Uvr

Product Description

The LESSO UV401-012 is a Schedule 40 PVC tee fitting in a 1-1/4 inch socket-by-socket-by-socket (SSS) configuration with UV-resistant construction. This three-way tee connects branches in pressurized or drain piping systems by accepting solvent-cemented slip joints on all three ports. The UV-resistant (UVR) formulation allows use in exposed or semi-exposed installations where standard PVC would degrade under prolonged sunlight. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of water distribution, irrigation, and general-purpose low-pressure piping assemblies. It weighs 0.26 pounds, making it easy to handle in tight spaces.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation systems, and pool or spa piping that requires a 1-1/4 inch branch connection. The SSS end configuration means all three ports accept Schedule 40 PVC pipe solvent-cemented in place, which is the standard installation method for this size and pressure class. UV resistance makes it an appropriate choice for above-ground runs such as rooftop mechanical rooms, outdoor pump stations, and exposed pool equipment pads.

Key Features

• UV-resistant PVC construction for above-ground and exposed installations
• Schedule 40 wall thickness rated for standard residential and commercial pressure service
• Socket-by-socket-by-socket (SSS) end configuration — all three ports accept solvent cement
• 1-1/4 inch nominal size fits standard Schedule 40 PVC pipe
• Lightweight at 0.26 pounds for easy single-hand handling during assembly

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for use with 1-1/4 inch Schedule 40 PVC pipe in solvent-cemented piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before cutting into any existing line. Clean and dry all mating surfaces, apply a compatible PVC primer, and then apply solvent cement to both the pipe end and the fitting socket before joining. Do not apply heat or mechanical force to speed cure time — allow full cure per the cement manufacturer's instructions before restoring system pressure.
