One run end and the branch accept solvent-weld socket connections, while the remaining run end uses a female iron pipe thread (FIPT) connection. The fitting is manufactured from white PVC, a material well-suited for cold and ambient-temperature water service, irrigation, and chemical distribution lines. Plumbers and pipefitters working on residential and light commercial systems routinely specify Schedule 40 fittings for their pressure ratings and broad chemical compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is used in 2.5-inch PVC piping runs where a threaded female connection is required on one end, such as when transitioning to a threaded valve, strainer, or equipment port. The socket ends allow for standard solvent-cement joining on two connection points. Typical applications include potable water distribution, irrigation headers, industrial fluid handling, and pool or spa plumbing where a tee with a threaded takeoff is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 40 PVC construction rated for standard pressure service in water and compatible fluid systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSocket x Socket x FIPT connection arrangement allows solvent-weld on two ports and threaded connection on one\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFemale iron pipe thread (FIPT) branch accepts standard male-threaded pipe, valves, or fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWhite PVC color consistent with Schedule 40 fittings for visual identification in the field\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2.5-inch nominal size fits standard 2.5-inch Schedule 40 PVC pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for use with 2.5-inch PVC Schedule 40 piping systems using solvent-cement socket joints and female iron pipe thread connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before cutting into any existing line. Use an appropriate PVC primer and solvent cement on the socket ends per the cement manufacturer's instructions, and allow full cure time before pressurizing. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to male threads before engaging the FIPT port — do not overtighten, as PVC threads can crack under excessive torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: Schedule 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Socket x FIPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Female\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SPEARS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 402-025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SPEARS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233552269618,"sku":"402-025","price":30.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307626876.jpg?v=1780102975","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/spears-402-025-pvc-sch-40-threaded-tee-2-5-in-socket-fipt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
