Spears 401-130 1" x 1/2" PVC Schedule 40 Reducing Tee

Spears 401-130 1" x 1/2" PVC Schedule 40 Reducing Tee

The Spears 401-130 is a 1" x 1/2" PVC Schedule 40 reducing tee engineered for solvent-welded piping systems that require a branch connection with a reduction in pipe size. Molded from rigid PVC material, this reducing tee features socket (SOC x SOC) connections on all three ports, allowing for a secure, leak-resistant solvent-weld joint at every connection point. Its Schedule 40 dimensional rating makes it well suited for a broad range of pressure piping applications where dependable, code-compliant performance is required. The compact reducing tee design combines a straight 1" run with a reduced 1/2" branch outlet in a single fitting, simplifying transitions and reducing the number of individual components needed in a PVC piping run.

Key Features

• Trade Size: 1" x 1/2" reducing configuration allows the branch outlet to step down from a 1" run to a 1/2" connection in a single fitting.
• Durable PVC Construction: Molded from PVC material for excellent corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, and long service life in piping systems.
• Schedule 40 Rating: Built to Schedule 40 dimensional standards, providing dependable wall thickness and strength for pressure piping applications.
• Socket Connections: Socket (SOC x SOC) ends on all three ports accept standard solvent-weld cement for a secure, leak-resistant installation.
• Reducing Tee Design: Combines a straight run with a reduced branch outlet in one fitting, simplifying transitions and minimizing the number of couplings and reducers needed in a piping run.
• Lightweight Material: PVC construction is easy to handle, cut, and solvent-weld on the job site, helping reduce installation time compared to heavier metallic fittings.
• Consistent Fit: Precision-molded socket openings are sized to standard PVC pipe dimensions for a reliable, repeatable fit across installations.
