Value Collection 402-003 Pvc Pipe Tee 3/8 in Slip X Fipt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 402-003 is a Schedule 40 PVC pipe tee fitting designed for low-pressure fluid distribution systems in plumbing, irrigation, and light industrial applications. The tee features a Slip x FIPT end connection configuration, allowing one solvent-weld socket inlet and one female iron pipe thread outlet on the branch. At 3/8 inch fitting size, this component suits small-diameter piping runs where branching flow is required. PVC construction resists corrosion and chemical degradation common in water service environments. Licensed plumbers and irrigation technicians are the typical installers for this fitting type.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems, potable water distribution, pool and spa plumbing, and irrigation supply lines where Schedule 40 PVC pipe is specified. The 3/8 inch size fits standard small-bore PVC pipe runs. The Slip x FIPT configuration makes it compatible with both solvent-cement joints on the run and threaded connections on the branch, giving installers flexibility in mixed-connection piping assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Depressurize and drain the piping system fully before cutting into any existing line. Use appropriate PVC primer and solvent cement on the slip socket connections, and apply thread sealant tape or compound on the FIPT threaded connection. Do not exceed the pressure rating of Schedule 40 PVC for the service temperature of the application.
