Value Collection 401-012 Pvc Pipe Tee 1-1/4 in Schedule 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 401-012 is a Schedule 40 PVC pipe tee designed for joining three sections of 1-1/4-inch piping in a branch configuration. Molded from rigid PVC, this fitting delivers corrosion resistance and reliable pressure handling in low-to-moderate pressure fluid systems. All three ports use female iron pipe thread (FIPT) end connections, allowing the fitting to thread directly onto male-threaded pipe or adapters without solvent cementing. Plumbers and pipe fitters install this type of tee in residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, and drainage applications. The fitting weighs 0.99 pounds and carries the dimensional consistency expected of Schedule 40 fittings.

This tee is suited for use in cold and ambient-temperature water supply lines, irrigation distribution manifolds, and non-pressure drainage branch runs that call for threaded PVC connections. The 1-1/4-inch size makes it a common choice for branch lines off main supply runs in residential plumbing rough-in work and light commercial systems. FIPT connections on all three ports allow for tool-tightened assembly using thread sealant tape or pipe dope per standard practice.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 PVC construction for consistent wall thickness and pressure rating
• FIPT x FIPT x FIPT end connections on all three ports for threaded assembly
• 1-1/4-inch fitting size fits standard 1-1/4-inch nominal pipe
• Corrosion-resistant PVC material suitable for water and non-reactive fluid service
• Lightweight at 0.99 pounds for easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard Schedule 40 PVC piping systems using 1-1/4-inch nominal pipe with male-threaded (MIPT) pipe ends.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before beginning any fitting work. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to all male threads before hand-tightening, then wrench-tighten to a snug fit — avoid overtightening PVC threads as cracking can result. Inspect all joints for leaks before returning the system to service.
