Value Collection 801-003 Pvc Pipe Tee 3/8 in Sch 80 Slip

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 801-003 is a Schedule 80 PVC pipe tee fitting designed for low-pressure plumbing and fluid handling systems. Configured with slip end connections on all three ports, this tee accepts solvent-welded pipe joints and provides a reliable branch point in PVC piping runs. The 3/8-inch fitting size makes it appropriate for smaller-diameter distribution lines. Schedule 80 wall thickness gives it greater pressure resistance and mechanical strength compared to Schedule 40 equivalents. Plumbers and pipefitters working on residential, commercial, or light industrial systems install this type of fitting as a standard branch component.

This tee is suited for applications in cold and hot water distribution, chemical drainage, irrigation laterals, and other systems where PVC is an approved pipe material. The slip connection style requires PVC primer and cement for assembly, consistent with standard solvent-weld practice. At 3/8 inches, this fitting typically serves branch lines, instrument connections, or smaller service runs within a larger piping network.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for higher pressure ratings versus Schedule 40
• Slip end connections on all three ports for solvent-weld assembly
• 3/8-inch fitting size for small-diameter piping runs
• Lightweight at 0.06 pounds for easy handling and installation
• Standard tee geometry for straight-through flow with a 90-degree branch takeoff

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 PVC piping systems using 3/8-inch slip-connect pipe.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before cutting in a new tee. Solvent-weld connections require properly applied PVC primer and cement; allow full cure time before returning the line to service. Do not exceed the pressure and temperature ratings specified for Schedule 80 PVC by the pipe manufacturer.
