Value Collection 401-101 Pvc Tee Fitting Sch 40 Fipt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 401-101 is a Schedule 40 PVC tee fitting designed for joining three-way branch connections in low-pressure plumbing and irrigation systems. Sized at 3/4 x 3/4 x 1/2 inches with female iron pipe thread (FIPT) end connections on all three ports, this fitting threads directly onto male-threaded pipe or fittings without solvent cement. At 0.51 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to handle during installation. Plumbers, irrigation contractors, and pipefitters working with threaded PVC systems are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This tee fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation distribution lines, and cold-water supply runs where a threaded PVC branch connection is required. The 3/4-inch run ports accommodate standard 3/4-inch pipe while the 1/2-inch branch port steps down to feed a smaller line or fixture. It is not rated for hot-water systems or applications requiring pressure ratings beyond Schedule 40 PVC specifications.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or qualified irrigation technicians working with threaded PVC systems. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before disassembling or assembling any threaded connection. Apply PTFE tape or an approved thread sealant to the male threads before making up the joint; do not overtighten, as PVC threads can crack under excessive torque. Follow local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines for threaded plastic fittings in your jurisdiction.
