Value Collection 1401-131 Barbed Reducing Tee 1x1x3/4 Pvc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1401-131 is a PVC barbed tube reducing tee designed for joining tubing runs where a branch line steps down in diameter. The male barbed ends create a secure friction fit with flexible tubing, eliminating the need for clamps in low-pressure applications. The reducing configuration accepts 1-inch tubing on both the run ends and 3/4-inch tubing on the branch outlet. Weighing 0.08 pounds, this lightweight fitting is well suited for fluid-handling assemblies where quick, tool-free connections are needed. Plumbers, irrigation technicians, and pool service professionals are the primary installers.

This reducing tee is used in residential and light commercial fluid-distribution systems including pool and spa plumbing, irrigation lines, and general water-transfer tubing assemblies. The PVC construction makes it appropriate for cold and ambient-temperature water lines. It is a single-piece fitting sold individually and is typically installed inline wherever a 3/4-inch branch tap is needed off a 1-inch main run.

Key Features

• Reducing tee geometry: 1 inch x 1 inch run barbs with a 3/4-inch branch barb
• PVC construction offers corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility with treated water systems
• Male barbed ends provide a secure push-fit grip on flexible tubing
• Lightweight at 0.08 pounds, minimizing load on tubing assemblies
• No tools required for installation in standard low-pressure tubing applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for flexible tubing systems requiring a 1 x 1 x 3/4 inch barbed reducing tee connection in PVC.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers, irrigation technicians, or pool service professionals. Shut off and depressurize the fluid line before disassembly or fitting insertion. Ensure tubing inner diameter matches the barb size for a leak-free seal, and verify that the PVC material is compatible with the fluid and any chemical additives present in the system. Consult applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC for potable-water applications before use.
