Value Collection 401-040 Pvc Pipe Tee 4 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 401-040 is a 4-inch Schedule 40 PVC pipe tee designed for joining three sections of pipe in a branch configuration. Built from rigid PVC, this fitting handles standard-pressure drainage, irrigation, and fluid-transfer applications across residential and light commercial plumbing systems. All three ports feature female iron pipe thread (FIPT) end connections, allowing direct threaded makeup with compatible male-threaded pipe or fittings. At 3.42 pounds, it is a solid, full-size fitting suited for licensed plumbers and experienced pipefitters working in above-ground or in-slab installations.

This tee is used in Schedule 40 PVC piping systems where a 4-inch branch takeoff is required. Common applications include main drain lines, irrigation manifolds, and gravity-flow waste systems. The FIPT x FIPT x FIPT configuration makes it compatible with threaded PVC, CPVC, or adapter assemblies where a cemented slip connection is not desired. It is sold individually and is well-suited for service, repair, and new construction work in both residential and light commercial settings.

Key Features

• 4-inch fitting size for high-flow drain and supply branch connections
• Schedule 40 wall thickness rated for standard-pressure service
• FIPT x FIPT x FIPT end connections for threaded assembly without primer or cement at the joint
• PVC construction resists corrosion, scale, and most common chemicals in plumbing service
• Single-piece fitting with no gaskets or inserts to lose or misalign

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for Schedule 40 PVC piping systems using 4-inch FIPT-threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the applicable edition of the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and local amendments. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before cutting into any existing system. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before makeup; do not overtighten, as PVC threads can crack under excessive torque. Pressure-test the assembled joint before burying, covering, or returning the system to service.
