Value Collection 401-209 Pvc Reducing Tee Sch 40 All Slip

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 401-209 is a Schedule 40 PVC reducing tee fitting designed for joining and branching plastic pipe runs where a branch connection smaller than the main line is required. Molded from rigid PVC, this fitting handles cold and hot water distribution, irrigation, and drain-waste-vent applications common in residential and light commercial plumbing. The all-slip end connection style accepts solvent-weld cement on all three ports. The main run measures 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 inches with a 1/2-inch branch outlet. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers, though experienced DIYers familiar with solvent welding also use this fitting.

This reducing tee is suited for Schedule 40 PVC piping systems in potable water supply, recirculation loops, irrigation manifolds, and drainage laterals. The 1/2-inch branch outlet makes it practical for tapping off a 1-1/2-inch main line to feed a smaller supply or drain branch without adding an additional reducer coupling. It is sold individually and is typically stocked as a standard plumbing fitting at supply houses and on job sites running PVC pipe systems.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 PVC construction for standard-pressure pipe system compatibility
• All-slip end connections on all three ports for solvent-cement joining
• Reducing branch outlet: 1/2-inch branch off a 1-1/2-inch main run
• Lightweight at 0.21 pounds, minimizing load on overhead or in-wall pipe runs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 40 PVC pipe systems using solvent-weld connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before cutting into any live line. Clean and prime all mating pipe ends before applying PVC solvent cement, and allow full cure time per the cement manufacturer's instructions before restoring pressure. Do not use this fitting with threaded pipe ends or on systems requiring pressure ratings beyond Schedule 40 PVC specifications.
