Value Collection 402-040 Pvc Pipe Tee 4 in Sch 40 Slip X Fipt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 402-040 is a Schedule 40 PVC tee fitting designed for 4-inch pipe systems. It features a Slip x FIPT end connection configuration, accepting a solvent-weld slip socket on one end and a female iron pipe thread (FIPT) connection on the branch or run as configured. Built from rigid PVC, this fitting is suited for low-pressure water distribution, irrigation, and drainage applications where chemical resistance and lightweight construction are required. Plumbers and pipe fitters install this fitting to create a branch off a main run without reducing flow path diameter. The part weighs 2.66 pounds and ships as a single unit.

This tee fitting is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation systems, and industrial fluid-handling lines where PVC Schedule 40 pipe is specified. The Slip x FIPT connection allows transition between solvent-welded PVC pipe and threaded pipe or threaded equipment connections. Typical applications include potable water distribution, pool and spa plumbing, lawn irrigation manifolds, and general-purpose fluid conveyance where non-corrosive fittings are preferred over metal alternatives.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 PVC construction provides consistent wall thickness and pressure rating for standard service
• 4-inch fitting size matches standard 4 in nominal PVC pipe outside diameter
• Slip x FIPT end connections allow solvent-weld pipe entry with threaded outlet transition
• Rigid PVC material resists corrosion, scale buildup, and many common chemicals
• Lightweight at 2.66 pounds, easing handling during overhead or confined-space installs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard service fitting for Schedule 40 PVC piping systems using 4-inch nominal pipe size with Slip x FIPT end connection requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipe fitters in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the water supply completely before cutting into any existing line. Slip-socket ends require proper PVC primer and solvent cement applied per the cement manufacturer and ASTM D2564 procedures. The FIPT threaded port should be sealed with PTFE tape or approved pipe thread sealant before engaging any threaded male fitting.
