Value Collection 1401-167 Pvc Barbed Reducing Tee

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1401-167 is a PVC barbed tube reducing tee designed for connecting flexible tubing in fluid-handling systems. This male barb fitting steps down one branch port from 1-1/4 inches to 3/4 inch while maintaining a 1-1/4 inch through-run on the two remaining ports. Constructed from polyvinylchloride (PVC), it resists corrosion and is well suited for low-pressure liquid transfer applications. Plumbers, irrigation technicians, and HVAC service professionals install this type of fitting when routing flexible hose or tubing through condensate drainage, irrigation, or general fluid conveyance lines.

This reducing tee is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where flexible barbed tubing must branch and reduce in a single fitting. Typical install scenarios include HVAC condensate drain lines, pool and spa plumbing, irrigation manifolds, and general-purpose water transfer systems. The 1-1/4 x 1-1/4 x 3/4 inch barb configuration makes it practical where a smaller branch line taps off a larger main run without requiring an additional reducer fitting downstream.

Key Features

• Reducing tee configuration: 1-1/4 x 1-1/4 x 3/4 inch barb ports allow a branch size reduction in one fitting
• PVC construction resists corrosion and chemical degradation in common fluid-handling environments
• Male barb ends grip flexible tubing securely without adhesive when used with appropriate clamps
• Lightweight at 0.13 pounds, minimizing load on flexible tubing assemblies
• Single-piece molded body with no moving parts for reliable long-term service

Compatibility

Designed as a standard barbed reducing tee replacement for flexible tubing systems using 1-1/4 inch and 3/4 inch inside-diameter hose or tubing in PVC-compatible fluid-handling applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by plumbers, irrigation technicians, or HVAC service technicians working on low-pressure flexible tubing systems. Shut off fluid flow and relieve any system pressure before disconnecting existing fittings. Secure flexible tubing onto each barb with appropriately sized clamps to prevent pullout under pressure or vibration. Verify that the tubing inside diameter matches each barb port size before assembly to ensure a leak-free connection.
