Value Collection 401-030 Pvc Pipe Tee 3 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 401-030 is a Schedule 40 PVC pipe tee designed for joining three runs of 3-inch pipe at a 90-degree branch. Molded from rigid PVC, this fitting delivers reliable chemical resistance and long service life in low-pressure fluid-handling systems. All three ports use female iron pipe thread (FIPT) end connections, allowing direct threaded assembly with standard male-threaded pipe or adapters. At 2.69 pounds, the fitting has enough wall thickness to meet Schedule 40 pressure ratings. It is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in both residential and light commercial applications.

This tee is suited for cold and ambient-temperature water distribution, irrigation mainlines, drain and vent branch connections, and general-purpose liquid-conveyance systems where PVC is code-approved. The FIPT connections make it compatible with threaded PVC risers, transition nipples, and male-threaded valves or equipment inlets. It is a single-piece fitting sold individually.

• FIPT x FIPT x FIPT end connections accept male-threaded pipe on all three ports

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 40 PVC piping systems using 3-inch nominal pipe with male-threaded end connections.

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 supply line completely before cutting into an existing system. Apply thread sealant tape or paste to all male threads before hand-tightening and finishing with a strap wrench — do not overtighten PVC threads. Avoid applying open flame or excessive heat near PVC fittings during or after installation.
