Value Collection 1401-248 Barbed Reducing Tee 2x2x3/4 in Pvc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1401-248 is a PVC barbed tube reducing tee designed for fluid transfer applications where a main run of 2-inch tubing connects to a 3/4-inch branch line. The male barbed design creates a secure friction fit with flexible tubing, eliminating the need for clamps in low-pressure installations, though clamps are recommended for higher-pressure or vibration-prone lines. At 0.21 pounds, this fitting is lightweight and easy to handle during installation. It is commonly installed by plumbers, irrigation technicians, and pool or spa service professionals working with flexible PVC or polyethylene tubing systems.

This reducing tee suits residential and light commercial fluid distribution systems, including irrigation, pool plumbing, chemical feed lines, and general water transfer setups. The 2 x 2 x 3/4 inch barb configuration allows a technician to tap a smaller branch line off a larger main run without additional adapters. The all-PVC construction resists corrosion and performs well in wet environments where metal fittings would degrade over time.

Key Features

• Reducing tee configuration: 2 inches x 2 inches x 3/4 inches barb sizes for branching a smaller line off a larger main
• PVC (polyvinylchloride) construction for corrosion resistance and long service life in wet environments
• Male barbed ends secure flexible tubing with a friction fit
• Lightweight at 0.21 pounds for easy single-hand positioning during installation
• Sold individually, one fitting per package

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for flexible tubing systems with 2-inch and 3/4-inch inside-diameter tubing, typical in irrigation, pool, spa, and general fluid transfer applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers or irrigation technicians following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the fluid line completely before cutting into the existing tubing run. Push flexible tubing firmly over each barb to the full depth of the fitting, then secure with appropriately sized tubing clamps to prevent pull-off under pressure or vibration. Do not exceed the pressure rating of the tubing or associated system components.
