Spears 401-015 PVC Schedule 40 Socket Tee

Spears 401-015 PVC Schedule 40 Socket Tee, 1-1/2"

The Spears 401-015 PVC Schedule 40 Socket Tee is a 1-1/2" solvent-weld pipe fitting engineered for reliable branch connections in Schedule 40 PVC piping systems. Manufactured from durable PVC, this tee provides three socket (SOC) connection points that allow installers to add a lateral branch line to an existing straight run in a standard tee configuration. This 1-1/2" tee is commonly specified for water distribution, plumbing, and irrigation piping systems built to Schedule 40 standards. Its Schedule 40 rating makes it well suited for standard-duty pressure and non-pressure piping applications where solvent-cement joints are required.

Key Features

• Trade Size: 1-1/2" tee sized to match 1-1/2" Schedule 40 PVC pipe for consistent, code-compliant branch connections.
• Durable Construction: Molded from PVC for corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, and long service life compared to metallic fittings.
• Schedule 40 Rating: Manufactured to Schedule 40 dimensional standards for full compatibility with standard Schedule 40 PVC pipe and fittings.
• Socket (SOC) Connections: All three ports feature socket ends designed for permanent solvent-cement welded joints, providing a secure, leak-resistant connection.
• Solvent-Weld Design: Socket ends are sized for use with PVC solvent cement, forming a permanent, pressure-rated joint at each connection point.
• Tee Configuration: Three-way tee body allows a branch line to be added from the main pipe run, simplifying complex piping layouts without additional couplings.
• Lightweight Handling: PVC construction keeps the fitting lightweight for faster, easier installation compared to metal tee fittings.
