Spears 402-130 PVC Reducing Tee, 1" x 1" x 1/2" SOCxSOCxFPT, Schedule 40

Spears 402-130 PVC Reducing Tee, 1" x 1" x 1/2" SOCxSOCxFPT, Schedule 40

The Spears 402-130 is a Schedule 40 PVC reducing tee sized 1" x 1" x 1/2", engineered with socket x socket x female pipe thread (SOCxSOCxFPT) connections for creating a threaded branch outlet on standard Schedule 40 PVC pipe runs. Molded from rigid PVC for corrosion resistance and long-term durability, this fitting lets installers reduce from a 1" run down to a 1/2" threaded branch without introducing metal components into the piping system. The dual solvent-weld socket ends provide a permanent, leak-resistant joint on the 1" run while the female threaded outlet accepts standard male-threaded adapters, valves, or equipment connections. This compact reducing tee simplifies branch takeoffs on 1" Schedule 40 PVC pipe runs without requiring a separate reducer bushing.

Key Features

• Trade Size: 1" x 1" x 1/2" reducing configuration for transitioning from a larger-diameter Schedule 40 PVC run to a smaller threaded branch.
• Durable Construction: Rigid PVC material resists corrosion, chemical attack, and degradation common to metallic fittings.
• Socket x Socket x FPT Connections: Solvent-weld socket ends on the 1" run pair with a female pipe thread (FPT) branch outlet for easy attachment of threaded components.
• Schedule 40 Rated: Matches standard Schedule 40 PVC pipe dimensions and pressure ratings for compatible, code-conforming installations.
• Reducing Tee Design: Combines a straight-through 1" run with a reduced 1/2" threaded branch, minimizing the need for additional bushings or adapters.
• Pressure-Rated Piping Compatibility: Sized to match standard Schedule 40 PVC pipe for consistent flow and structural performance across the piping run.
• Lightweight PVC Material: Easier to handle, cut, and solvent-weld than comparable metallic tees, helping reduce labor time on the jobsite.
