Lesso UV402-166 Sch 40 Pvc Reducing Tee 1-1/4x1-1/4x1/2

Product Description

The LESSO UV402-166 is a Schedule 40 PVC reducing tee rated for ultraviolet-resistant (UVR) service. It features a straight-run diameter of 1-1/4 inches and a reducing branch outlet of 1/2 inch. This fitting is manufactured from rigid PVC and meets the dimensional standards for Schedule 40 solvent-weld pipe systems. Plumbers, pipefitters, and irrigation contractors install this tee when branching a smaller-diameter line off a main run in above-ground or exposed outdoor applications where UV degradation is a concern. The SST configuration denotes a socket-socket-socket end style, accepting solvent cement on all three openings.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation distribution systems, and pool or spa piping where above-ground UV exposure is expected. The reducing branch allows a 1/2-inch lateral takeoff from a 1-1/4-inch main line without the need for a separate bushing, keeping the assembly compact and reducing potential leak points. It is appropriate for cold- and ambient-temperature water service in non-pressure applications where PVC Schedule 40 is code-permitted.

Key Features

• UV-resistant PVC compound rated for above-ground and outdoor exposed installations
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty plumbing and irrigation service
• Socket-socket-socket (SST) end configuration accepts solvent-cement joining on all three ports
• Reducing branch outlet eliminates the need for a separate reducer bushing
• 1-1/4 x 1-1/4 x 1/2 inch configuration for branching a half-inch lateral off a 1-1/4-inch main

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for Schedule 40 PVC pipe systems using solvent-cement joints in plumbing, irrigation, and pool or spa piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with local plumbing codes and ASTM D2466 standards for Schedule 40 PVC fittings. Shut off and depressurize the line before cutting into an existing system. Use only PVC primer and solvent cement rated for the pipe schedule and service conditions, and allow full cure time before restoring flow. Do not use this fitting on hot-water or steam lines where PVC is not rated for service.
