Value Collection 15309 Pvc Tee 1 Inch Fipt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 15309 is a 1-inch PVC tee fitting designed for joining three sections of pipe in a branch configuration. Constructed from PVC, this fitting accepts female iron pipe thread (FIPT) connections on all three ports, allowing threaded male-end pipes or nipples to mate directly without solvent welding. It is suited for low-pressure water distribution, irrigation, and general plumbing applications where PVC is an approved material. Licensed plumbers and irrigation technicians are the primary installers of this type of fitting in both residential and light commercial settings.

This tee fitting is appropriate for use in cold-water supply lines, irrigation manifolds, and non-pressurized drain or vent configurations where PVC and threaded connections are permitted by local code. The FIPT end connections on all three ports accept standard 1-inch male-threaded pipe ends, making it straightforward to integrate into existing threaded PVC or compatible plastic piping systems. It is not rated for hot-water service or high-pressure applications beyond standard PVC pressure ratings.

Key Features

• 1-inch fitting size for standard pipe systems
• FIPT x FIPT x FIPT end connections on all three ports accept male-threaded pipe ends
• PVC construction offers corrosion resistance and compatibility with most water and irrigation fluids
• Tee configuration enables branch runs from a single main line
• Lightweight design simplifies handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for 1-inch threaded PVC piping systems in residential and light commercial plumbing and irrigation applications.

Installation Notes

Installation of threaded PVC fittings is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local amendments. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before beginning any fitting work. Apply thread sealant tape or approved pipe-thread compound to male threads before assembly, and hand-tighten followed by wrench tightening — avoid over-torquing PVC threads, as the material can crack under excessive force.
