Value Collection 401-075 Pvc Reducing Tee Sch 80 All Slip

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 401-075 is a Schedule 80 PVC reducing tee designed for use in pressure piping systems where a branch connection of a different diameter is required. Constructed from gray PVC, this fitting features all-slip end connections on all three ports, accepting solvent-weld joints for a secure, leak-resistant assembly. The run measures 1 inch and both the branch and outlet measure 1/2 inch. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure rating and impact resistance compared to Schedule 40, making it suitable for demanding piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting type.

This reducing tee is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, industrial process piping, and chemical handling systems where PVC is an approved material. The all-slip configuration requires solvent cement and primer for proper installation. Typical applications include branch takeoffs from a main 1-inch line down to 1/2-inch service lines, making it a common component in irrigation manifolds, water distribution sub-assemblies, and process fluid networks.

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 water supply completely before cutting into an existing line. Use appropriate PVC primer and solvent cement rated for Schedule 80 applications, and allow full cure time before restoring system pressure. Do not use this fitting with pipe schedules or materials other than those specified for the connection size.
