It features a 1-1\/2 inch by 1-1\/2 inch by 1-1\/4 inch configuration with socket connections on the run ends and a female NPT (FNPT) thread on the branch outlet. Manufactured from PVC Type I material with a cell classification of 12454 per ASTM D1784, this fitting meets ASTM D2466 requirements and carries NSF International certification for potable water service. Overall length is 4-19\/32 inches. The white color finish aids visual identification during installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis reducing tee is suited for Schedule 40 PVC pressure piping systems handling cold and warm water distribution up to 140 degrees F. Typical applications include domestic potable water supply lines, irrigation distribution manifolds, and light industrial process piping where a branch takeoff at a reduced pipe size is required. The FNPT branch outlet accepts a threaded male adapter or instrument connection without an additional socket fitting, simplifying layouts where a threaded transition is needed at the branch point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNSF-certified for potable water service per NSF International standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConforms to ASTM D2466 and material standard ASTM D1784, PVC Type I cell classification 12454\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReducing branch configuration: 1-1\/2 inch run x 1-1\/4 inch FNPT branch reduces fitting count at transition points\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSocket x Socket x FNPT end style allows solvent-weld connections on the run with a direct threaded branch outlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMolded construction for consistent wall thickness and pressure integrity throughout the fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDomestically manufactured by Spears Manufacturing Company\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 40 PVC pressure piping systems using 1-1\/2 inch run pipe and a 1-1\/4 inch threaded branch connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable plumbing codes, including IPC provisions for solvent-welded PVC pressure piping. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before cutting into any existing line. Use a PVC-rated primer and solvent cement appropriate for Schedule 40 fittings on the socket ends; follow the cement manufacturer's cure time before restoring pressure. The FNPT branch outlet requires thread sealant tape or compound rated for potable water service applied to the male threads before assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2 x 1-1\/2 x 1-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Socket x Socket x FNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4-19\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: SCH 40\/STD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVC Type I, Cell Classification 12454\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMethod of Manufacture\u003c\/strong\u003e: Molded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 140 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertifications\u003c\/strong\u003e: NSF International, ASTM D2466, ASTM D1784\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/strong\u003e: Domestic (USA)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 402-212\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SPEARS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233752056114,"sku":"402-212","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/Spears_402071_N.jpg?v=1780108362","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/spears-402-212-pvc-sch-40-reducing-tee-1-1-2-x-1-1-4-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
