Value Collection 402-131 Pvc Tee Fitting Schedule 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 402-131 is a Schedule 40 PVC tee fitting designed for joining three sections of pipe in a pressurized or drain plumbing system. It provides two run connections and one branch connection, allowing a single pipeline to split or receive flow at a 90-degree branch. The fitting measures 1 inch on both run ends and 3/4 inch on the branch end. End connections are Slip x Slip x Female Iron Pipe Thread (FIPT), allowing solvent-weld socket connections on the run ends and a threaded connection on the branch. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in residential and light commercial plumbing applications.

This tee fitting is suited for cold and hot water supply lines, irrigation systems, and general fluid-handling piping where PVC Schedule 40 material is specified. The reducing branch size makes it practical for tapping a smaller-diameter line off a main 1-inch run. It is commonly installed in residential potable water systems, pool and spa plumbing, and lawn irrigation distribution lines where the piping operates within the pressure and temperature limits of Schedule 40 PVC.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 PVC construction rated for standard service pressure at typical ambient temperatures
• Reducing branch configuration: 1 inch run x 1 inch run x 3/4 inch branch
• Slip x Slip run ends accept solvent-cement socket connections
• FIPT branch end accepts male-threaded adapters or fittings
• Lightweight PVC material resists corrosion and chemical degradation in water service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with Schedule 40 PVC pipe systems using 1-inch and 3/4-inch nominal pipe sizes.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before cutting into existing piping. Slip ends require proper PVC primer and solvent cement applied per the cement manufacturer instructions before joining. The FIPT branch connection requires an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape on the male threads prior to assembly.
