Value Collection 402-005 Pvc Tee 1/2 in Schedule 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 402-005 is a 1/2 inch Schedule 40 PVC tee fitting designed for branch connections in residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, and low-pressure fluid distribution systems. Constructed from PVC, this tee provides two slip-style socket ends and one female iron pipe thread (FIPT) end connection, allowing integration with both solvent-welded PVC pipe runs and threaded pipe components. The Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure ratings for cold water service and is well suited for drain, waste, and vent configurations as well as pressurized supply applications within rated limits.

This fitting is a practical solution for plumbers and irrigation technicians branching off a 1/2 inch main line. The slip-by-slip-by-FIPT configuration supports mixed installations where a threaded valve, nipple, or adapter must meet a solvent-weld pipe run. Common applications include residential water supply branch lines, lawn and drip irrigation manifolds, pool and spa plumbing, and light industrial fluid systems where PVC is the specified material.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 PVC construction rated for standard cold water and irrigation pressures
• Slip x Slip x Female Iron Pipe Thread (FIPT) end connections for mixed solvent-weld and threaded installations
• 1/2 inch fitting size for common residential and light commercial pipe runs
• Lightweight PVC material resists corrosion and chemical degradation in typical plumbing service environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with 1/2 inch Schedule 40 PVC pipe systems using solvent-weld and female iron pipe thread connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified irrigation technicians. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before cutting into any existing pipe run. Slip ends require appropriate PVC primer and solvent cement applied per the cement manufacturer instructions and applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC. The FIPT end accepts a male-threaded fitting with appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape; do not overtighten threaded connections into PVC to avoid cracking the fitting body.
