Spears Schedule 40 PVC Reducing Tee, SOCXFPT
The Spears Schedule 40 PVC Reducing Tee is a socket x female pipe thread (SOCXFPT) reducing fitting engineered for PVC pressure piping systems that require a branch outlet in a smaller pipe size than the main run. Molded from rigid PVC to Schedule 40 dimensional standards, this reducing tee provides a dependable transition point for irrigation, water distribution, and general plumbing pressure-pipe applications where a socket connection on the run meets a threaded branch connection.
Key Features
- Reducing Configuration: Tee design steps down from the main run size to a smaller branch outlet, allowing a single fitting to handle a size transition and a branch connection in one component.
- Durable Construction: Molded from PVC for corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, and long service life in pressure piping systems.
- SOCXFPT Connection: Socket ends solvent-weld to PVC pipe on the run while the female pipe thread (FPT) branch accepts a threaded male fitting, simplifying transitions between solvent-weld and threaded piping.
- Schedule 40 Rating: Built to Schedule 40 dimensional standards for consistent fit and performance with Schedule 40 PVC pipe and fittings.
- Reliable Sealing Surfaces: Precision-molded socket and thread surfaces help ensure a tight, leak-resistant joint when properly solvent-welded and threaded.
