Pro-source 801-040 Pvc Pipe Tee 4 in Schedule 80

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE 801-040 is a Schedule 80 PVC tee fitting designed for joining three runs of pipe in pressurized plumbing and industrial piping systems. It features female iron pipe thread (FIPT) end connections on all three ports, allowing it to thread directly onto male-threaded pipe or fittings without additional adapters. Built from rigid PVC, this tee handles higher working pressures than Schedule 40 fittings of the same diameter and resists corrosion, making it well suited for chemical handling, irrigation, and industrial water systems. The fitting ships as a single unit and weighs 5.53 pounds.

This fitting is used in 4-inch PVC piping systems where a branch connection is needed along a run. Typical applications include industrial process piping, municipal water distribution, irrigation mains, and commercial plumbing where Schedule 80 pressure ratings are specified. The FIPT end connections are compatible with standard male-threaded PVC, CPVC, or metal pipe ends conforming to NPT thread standards. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in both above-ground and exposed-service applications where extra wall thickness is required by code or engineering specification.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for elevated working pressure capacity versus Schedule 40
• FIPT x FIPT x FIPT end connections on all three ports for threaded assembly
• PVC construction resists corrosion, scaling, and a wide range of chemicals
• 4-inch fitting size serves large-diameter residential and commercial piping runs
• Single-piece unit with no loose components

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 4-inch Schedule 80 PVC piping systems using NPT-standard male-threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Depressurize and drain the piping system fully before removing any existing fittings or threading in the new tee. Use appropriate thread sealant rated for PVC and the media being conveyed. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as PVC threads can crack under excessive torque.
