Spears 54211145869 Pvc Tee 1.5 in Sch40 Slip Pool Spa

Product Description

The SPEARS 54211145869 is a Schedule 40 PVC tee fitting designed for branching water flow in a T-configuration within pressure piping systems. Constructed from white PVC, this fitting accepts three 1.5-inch slip connections joined by solvent-weld cement, making it a standard choice for plumbers and pool and spa technicians installing or repairing distribution lines. The fitting meets ASTM D2466 standards for Schedule 40 PVC pressure fittings and supports flow rates up to 50 GPM. Its one-piece PVC body provides corrosion resistance appropriate for treated water, chemical handling, and poolside environments where metal fittings would degrade.

This tee is suited for residential and light commercial pool, spa, and general water distribution plumbing. It connects three runs of 1.5-inch Schedule 40 PVC pipe in a branch configuration, allowing a main line to split into a secondary run or enabling three-way flow routing. Typical applications include pool return lines, spa jet manifolds, irrigation distribution headers, and domestic water branch lines where Schedule 40 PVC is the specified material.

Key Features

• Three 1.5-inch slip connections accept Schedule 40 PVC pipe for solvent-weld assembly
• White PVC construction resists corrosion, chlorine, and common pool chemicals
• Meets ASTM D2466 standards for Schedule 40 PVC pressure fittings
• Supports flow rates up to 50 GPM in standard pressure applications
• Uniform slip socket sizing on all three ports simplifies layout and reduces inventory

Compatibility

Compatible with 1.5-inch Schedule 40 PVC pipe and fittings per ASTM D2466 specifications. All three ports accept 1.5-inch inside-diameter slip connections joined with standard PVC solvent-weld cement.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pool and spa technicians following applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC or local equivalent. 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-weld cement per the cement manufacturer's instructions, and allow full cure time before pressurizing the system. Do not use petroleum-based lubricants or sealants on slip-fit PVC connections.
