Value Collection 401-020 Pvc Pipe Tee 2 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 401-020 is a 2-inch Schedule 40 PVC pipe tee designed for use in pressure piping systems where a branch connection is required. Constructed from PVC, this fitting accepts female iron pipe thread (FIPT) connections on all three ports, allowing it to thread directly onto male-threaded pipe ends. It is rated for Schedule 40 service and suits typical residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, and chemical-handling lines where PVC is code-acceptable. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as a standard branch tee when routing flow in two directions from a single run.

This tee is used in residential and commercial plumbing rough-in, irrigation distribution manifolds, pool and spa piping, and industrial process lines that call for Schedule 40 PVC. The FIPT end connections on all three outlets make it compatible with threaded PVC and metal pipe assemblies. It is well suited for above-ground and below-ground installations within the pressure and temperature limits of Schedule 40 PVC pipe systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the applicable International Plumbing Code (IPC) or local plumbing authority requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line before cutting into an existing system. Use thread sealant tape or compound rated for PVC on all FIPT connections and tighten to hand-tight plus the manufacturer-recommended turns without over-torquing, which can crack PVC fittings. Do not use petroleum-based solvents or incompatible pipe dope that may degrade PVC material.
