Value Collection 401-211 Pvc Tee 1-1/2x1-1/2x1 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 401-211 is a Schedule 40 PVC tee fitting used to branch or split flow in residential and commercial piping systems. It features female iron pipe thread (FIPT) end connections on all three ports, allowing threaded assembly without solvent cement. Weighing 0.97 pounds, this compact fitting handles standard Schedule 40 service pressures and is suited for cold and ambient-temperature water distribution, irrigation, and general-purpose plumbing lines. Plumbers and pipefitters install it where a 1-inch branch takeoff is needed from a 1-1/2-inch main run.

This tee is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation systems, and industrial fluid-handling applications where PVC Schedule 40 is the specified material. The reducing branch configuration — 1-1/2 inches on the run ports and 1 inch on the branch port — makes it well suited for zoned distribution manifolds, drip irrigation headers, and similar layouts where the branch line steps down in diameter from the main.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 40 PVC threaded piping systems using 1-1/2 inch run pipe and a 1 inch branch connection.

Installation Notes

Installation of threaded PVC fittings should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Apply a PVC-compatible thread sealant tape or compound to male threads before assembly; do not overtighten, as PVC threads can crack under excessive torque. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before cutting into an existing system. Avoid using this fitting in high-temperature service lines, as PVC Schedule 40 has rated temperature limitations.
