Value Collection 402-010 Pvc Pipe Tee 1 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 402-010 is a Schedule 40 PVC pipe tee fitting designed for standard pressure piping systems in plumbing, irrigation, and light industrial applications. The tee configuration features two slip-inlet ends and one female iron pipe thread (FIPT) outlet, allowing connection to both solvent-weld pipe runs and threaded pipe or valve assemblies. At 1 inch fitting size, it handles common residential and light commercial flow paths. PVC construction provides resistance to corrosion, scale buildup, and many common chemicals. Licensed plumbers and irrigation technicians are the typical installers for this fitting type.

This tee is suited for cold and ambient-temperature water distribution lines, irrigation laterals, pool and spa plumbing, and general-purpose PVC pipe systems where a branch connection is needed. The slip inlets accept standard 1-inch PVC pipe for solvent-cement joining, while the FIPT port threads onto male-threaded valves, adapters, or risers. It is appropriate for above-ground and below-ground installations within the pressure and temperature ratings of Schedule 40 PVC.

Installation Notes

Installation of PVC solvent-weld fittings requires a licensed plumber or qualified irrigation technician in jurisdictions that regulate pipe work. Shut off water supply and depressurize the line before cutting or disassembling any pipe section. Use appropriate PVC primer and solvent cement on all slip connections per the cement manufacturer instructions and applicable IPC or local plumbing code. Thread the FIPT port connections with PTFE tape or approved pipe thread sealant to ensure a leak-free joint; do not overtighten threaded connections into PVC to avoid cracking the fitting body.
