Value Collection 1401-010 Barbed Tee Plug 1 in Pvc Male

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1401-010 is a male barbed tube insert tee plug designed to terminate or cap off a tee fitting in a barbed tubing assembly. Made from PVC (polyvinylchloride), this insert-style plug seats into the barbed port of a tee fitting and holds in place through a friction and barb-retention fit. With a 1-inch barb size, it is sized for standard 1-inch ID flexible tubing. Plumbers, irrigation technicians, and fluid-system installers use this type of plug to block an unused branch port on an existing tee without requiring additional clamps or tools in low-pressure applications.

This insert tee plug is suited for use in residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, and fluid-transfer systems where PVC barbed fittings are the standard connection type. It is installed by pressing the barbed end into the open port of a compatible tee fitting. Typical applications include capping unused branch lines in irrigation manifolds, pool plumbing bypass circuits, and general-purpose liquid-handling assemblies where a clean, secure termination is required.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by a plumber or irrigation technician. Shut off and depressurize the line before inserting or removing any barbed fitting component. Press the barbed end firmly into the tee port until fully seated; verify there is no visible gap at the fitting junction. Consult applicable plumbing codes, including IPC guidelines, for pressure-rating requirements before use in pressurized systems.
