PVC SCH 40 Reducing Tee (SOC x SOC x FIPT)
The PVC Schedule 40 Reducing Tee (SOC x SOC x FIPT) is a high-durability fitting used to branch a primary pipeline into a smaller, threaded connection. These tees are ideal for transitioning between larger solvent-weld (slip) pipes and smaller threaded adapters or sensors in irrigation, pool, and spa systems.
Key Product Features
- Versatile Configuration: Combines two 2-inch socket (slip) ends for permanent solvent welding with a single female pipe threaded (FIPT) branch for removable connections.
- High-Strength Material: Injection-molded from white Schedule 40 PVC, offering excellent corrosion resistance and a long service life in cold-water applications.
- Optimal Flow Dynamics: Features a smooth interior finish that reduces friction and inhibits material buildup for maximum hydraulic efficiency.
- Third-Party Certified: Many models are NSF/ANSI 61 certified, making them safe for use in potable water distribution systems.

?? Critical Plumbing Warnings
NON-COMPRESSED GAS: DANGER: Never use PVC fittings for compressed air or other gases, as the material can shatter under pressure, causing fatal injury.
TEMPERATURE LIMITS: Not suitable for hot water systems; for media exceeding 140�F (60�C), use CPVC fittings instead to prevent structural failure.
?? Professional Installation Tips
- Thread Sealant: Always use a high-quality PTFE (Teflon) tape or non-hardening thread sealant on the FIPT branch to ensure a watertight seal.
- Proper Priming: For the two socket ends, use a standard PVC primer and solvent cement (glue). Allow the joints to cure fully before pressurizing.
- Avoid Over-tightening: Hand-tighten threaded fittings into the FIPT branch first, then turn only 1-2 times with a wrench to prevent cracking the PVC.
