Value Collection 401-025 Pvc Pipe Tee 2.5 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 401-025 is a Schedule 40 PVC pipe tee fitting designed for joining three sections of pipe in a branch configuration. Sized at 2.5 inches, it features female iron pipe thread (FIPT) connections on all three ports, allowing direct threaded assembly without solvent welding. PVC construction resists corrosion and chemical attack, making it well suited for potable water distribution, irrigation, and low-pressure drainage systems. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in both residential and light commercial applications where a reliable, code-acceptable branch junction is needed.

This tee is used in plumbing supply lines, irrigation manifolds, pool and spa plumbing, and industrial fluid-handling systems where 2.5-inch Schedule 40 PVC pipe is specified. The threaded FIPT connections on all three outlets allow the fitting to mate with male-threaded pipe ends or adapters, making it straightforward to incorporate into existing threaded PVC systems. It is appropriate for cold-water service and non-pressure drainage where PVC Schedule 40 is code-approved.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 PVC construction for standard-pressure plumbing and irrigation service
• 2.5-inch fitting size matches standard Schedule 40 pipe OD dimensions
• FIPT x FIPT x FIPT end connections on all three ports for threaded assembly
• Corrosion-resistant PVC material withstands common water treatment chemicals
• Tee configuration enables a straight run with a perpendicular branch outlet

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for 2.5-inch Schedule 40 PVC piping systems using female iron pipe thread connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing any existing fittings. Apply PTFE thread tape or an approved pipe thread sealant to the male threads before assembly; do not overtighten threaded PVC connections, as this can crack the fitting. Verify that the system pressure and fluid temperature remain within the rated limits for Schedule 40 PVC before returning the line to service.
