Spears 402-071 Sch 40 Pvc Tee 0.5x0.5x0.125 in

Product Description

The SPEARS 402-071 is a Schedule 40 PVC reducing tee designed for use in pressure-rated piping systems. It features a 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.125 inch configuration, with the branch outlet reduced to 0.125 inches. Constructed from rigid PVC, this fitting is suited for cold and ambient-temperature fluid handling in plumbing, irrigation, and light industrial applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting when branching a smaller line off a main run. The Schedule 40 wall thickness provides reliable pressure handling for standard service conditions.

This tee is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation distribution, and process piping where a reduced branch connection is needed. The PVC construction makes it compatible with common solvent-cement joining methods used throughout water service, drain, and chemical-handling applications. It is a compact, lightweight fitting well suited for tight spaces or manifold assemblies where a small branch takeoff is required.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard pressure-rated service
• Reducing branch configuration: 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.125 inches
• PVC material resists corrosion and common chemicals
• Solvent-cement socket ends for secure, leak-free joints

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 40 PVC piping systems using standard solvent-cement socket connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the water supply completely before cutting into any existing line. Clean and dry all mating surfaces, apply PVC primer and solvent cement per the cement manufacturer's instructions, and allow full cure time before returning the system to service. Do not use this fitting on hot-water or high-pressure systems beyond the Schedule 40 PVC pressure rating for the applicable pipe size.
