Value Collection 15307 Pvc Pipe Tee 1/2 Inch Fipt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 15307 is a 1/2-inch PVC pipe tee designed for joining or branching threaded pipe runs in plumbing and fluid-handling systems. The fitting uses female iron pipe thread (FIPT) connections on all three ports, allowing it to thread directly onto male-threaded pipe ends without solvent cement. PVC construction keeps the fitting lightweight and resistant to corrosion, making it a practical choice for cold- and cool-water service lines, irrigation laterals, and low-pressure distribution piping. Licensed plumbers and experienced pipefitters are the typical installers, though the straightforward threaded design is within reach of knowledgeable maintenance personnel.

This tee is suited to residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation systems, and other low-pressure fluid conveyance applications where PVC is an approved material. The FIPT x FIPT x FIPT configuration means all three openings accept male-threaded pipe or fittings, making it useful for creating branch connections in an existing threaded line. The 1/2-inch nominal size fits standard Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 male-threaded pipe of the same nominal diameter.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/2-inch male-threaded PVC pipe systems in residential and light commercial plumbing and irrigation applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the water supply before removing or installing any fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten to hand-snug plus a controlled number of turns to avoid cracking the PVC female threads — do not over-torque. Inspect all joints for leaks before returning the system to service.
