Value Collection 401-168 Pvc Tee Fitting Sch 40 Fipt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 401-168 is a Schedule 40 PVC tee fitting designed for use in standard pressure piping systems. It connects three runs of pipe at a branch point, allowing flow to be split or combined within the same line. The fitting measures 1-1/4 x 1-1/4 x 1 inches across its three ports and uses female iron pipe thread (FIPT) end connections on all three openings. It is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on residential and light commercial water distribution, irrigation, and general fluid handling systems. The PVC construction resists corrosion and chemical attack, making it suitable for a wide range of non-pressurized and pressure-rated cold water applications.

This tee fitting is used in Schedule 40 PVC piping systems where a branch connection is needed. The run ports accept 1-1/4 inch pipe and the branch port accepts 1 inch pipe, making it a reducing tee configuration. Typical applications include potable water supply, irrigation manifolds, pool and spa plumbing, and industrial fluid lines where PVC is the specified material. It is sold individually and must be ordered in multiples of 5.

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 before cutting into any existing line. FIPT connections require the use of compatible male-threaded fittings or pipe ends with an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape applied per code. Do not use PVC fittings beyond their rated pressure and temperature limits.
