Value Collection 401-010 Pvc Pipe Tee 1 in Sch 40 Fipt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 401-010 is a 1-inch Schedule 40 PVC pipe tee designed for joining three runs of pipe in a single fitting. It features female iron pipe thread (FIPT) connections on all three ports, allowing threaded assembly without solvent cementing. Weighing 0.88 pounds, this fitting is suited for low-pressure water distribution, irrigation, and general plumbing lines where PVC is the specified material. Licensed plumbers and irrigation contractors are the typical installers. The Schedule 40 wall thickness provides reliable pressure capacity for standard residential and light commercial service lines.

This tee is used in residential and commercial plumbing systems where a 1-inch branch takeoff is needed from a main run. Typical applications include potable water supply lines, irrigation manifolds, pool equipment plumbing, and general fluid distribution systems. The FIPT end connections accept male-threaded pipe or fittings and are compatible with standard 1-inch NPT threaded components. The PVC construction makes it appropriate for cold and ambient-temperature water service where corrosion resistance is a priority.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before cutting into any existing line. Apply PTFE thread tape or pipe thread sealant to all male threads before assembly and tighten to hand-tight plus one to two turns with strap wrenches. Do not use pipe wrenches directly on PVC fittings, as over-torquing can crack the fitting body.
