Value Collection 401-249 Pvc Reducing Tee 2x2x1 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 401-249 is a Schedule 40 PVC reducing tee designed for standard pressure drain, waste, vent, and cold-water distribution piping systems. The fitting reduces a 2-inch run to a 1-inch branch while maintaining full 2-inch flow through the straight leg. All three openings use slip connections, accepting solvent-welded PVC pipe for a secure, permanent joint. At 0.34 pounds, this lightweight fitting is easy to handle during rough-in and retrofit work. Plumbers and pipefitters install this tee wherever a branch takeoff with a size reduction is needed without adding an extra bushing or coupling to the assembly.

This reducing tee is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications, including cold-water supply lines, irrigation laterals, pool and spa plumbing, and low-pressure drainage configurations. The Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure ratings for typical service conditions. It is commonly installed in new construction rough-in, system modifications, and repair work where a 2-inch main requires a reduced 1-inch branch connection.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 PVC construction for standard-duty pressure and drain applications
• Reducing configuration: 2 x 2 x 1 inches — full-bore run with reduced branch outlet
• All slip end connections for solvent-cement bonding to PVC pipe
• Lightweight at 0.34 pounds for easy handling during installation
• Eliminates need for a separate bushing at the branch takeoff point

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with Schedule 40 PVC piping systems using 2-inch and 1-inch nominal pipe sizes with slip-style solvent-weld connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before cutting into an existing system. Clean and prime all mating pipe ends before applying solvent cement, and allow full cure time before restoring pressure as directed by the cement manufacturer. Do not use this fitting with CPVC, ABS, or other non-PVC pipe without verifying chemical and dimensional compatibility.
