Spears 4101 CPVC CTS Red Reducing Tee, Socket Connection

The Spears 4101 CPVC CTS Red Reducing Tee is a solvent-weld (SOC) branch fitting engineered for CTS (Copper Tube Size) CPVC piping systems, available across a size range from 1/2" up to 1-1/4", including reducing combinations such as 1/2 x 1/2", 3/4 x 1/2", and 3/4 x 3/4". Molded from red CPVC for quick line identification, this reducing tee delivers a durable, corrosion-resistant branch connection point for hot and cold water distribution and process piping runs. All three outlets across every size in the family feature socket connections for a reliable solvent-cement bond, and the fittings ship in bulk cartons of 250 ea for efficient jobsite stocking.

Key Features

  • CTS Sizing: Manufactured to Copper Tube Size (CTS) dimensions across a family range from 1/2" through 1-1/4", including 1/2 x 1/2", 3/4 x 1/2", and 3/4 x 3/4" reducing combinations for direct compatibility with CPVC CTS piping systems.
  • Durable Construction: Molded from CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) for excellent corrosion and chemical resistance versus metallic piping.
  • Socket (SOC) Connections: All three outlets on every size feature socket ends for a secure solvent-cement joint during installation.
  • Reducing Tee Configuration: Branch fitting design allows a change in line size at the tee outlet for flexible piping layouts.
  • Red Color Coding: Red CPVC construction supports quick visual identification of the piping system in the field.
  • Bulk Packaging: Supplied 250 ea per carton, suited for contractors and distributors stocking high-turn fitting inventory.

Spears 4101-005 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Are the 4101 tee outlets threaded or solvent weld?
All three outlets are socket (SOC) ends on every size in the 4101 family, so the joint is made with CPVC solvent cement, not threads. You will need CPVC solvent cement (and primer if your local code calls for it) on hand; none is supplied with the fitting.
2) What sizes does the Spears 4101 CPVC reducing tee come in?
Six size configurations are offered: straight 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch and 1-1/4 inch, plus the reducing combinations 1/2 x 1/2 inch, 3/4 x 1/2 inch and 3/4 x 3/4 inch. Part numbers run 4101-005 (1/2 inch), 4101-007 (3/4 inch), 4101-012 (1-1/4 inch), 4101-074, 4101-094 and 4101-101 for the reducers.
3) Can I use a CPVC tee like this on a hot water line?
Yes. CPVC is used for both hot and cold water distribution, which is the main application for the 4101 CTS tee, along with process piping and chemical-resistant runs where metal pipe would corrode.
4) What is the difference between the 1/2 inch 4101 tee and the 1/2 x 1/2 inch version?
The straight 1/2 inch tee (4101-005) has all three sockets the same size. The listed reducing combinations such as 1/2 x 1/2 inch (4101-074), 3/4 x 1/2 inch (4101-094) and 3/4 x 3/4 inch (4101-101) are the Spears size callouts for tees where the run and branch differ, letting you step the branch down without adding a separate bushing.
5) I need a branch bigger than 1-1/4 inch, does this Spears tee go larger?
No. The 4101 CTS reducing tee family tops out at 1-1/4 inch. For larger branch connections you will need a different CPVC fitting series sized above CTS 1-1/4 inch.
6) Why is this CPVC tee red instead of the usual tan or off-white?
Red is the color-coding used on CTS CPVC water distribution systems for quick visual identification in the field. It is a molded-in CPVC color, not a coating, and it has no effect on how the fitting solvent welds. If the rest of your run is tan IPS CPVC, the red fitting is a sign you are looking at the wrong sizing system.
7) How is the Spears 4101 tee packaged, and can I buy just a few?
The 4101 tees ship in bulk cartons of 250 each, which is how Spears packages them for contractors and distributors turning high volumes of small-diameter fittings. Plan on carton quantities rather than singles when you order.
