The 1" Black PVC Tee (SxSxS) is a critical component for directing water flow in custom irrigation headers and manifolds. Manufactured from durable Schedule 40 PVC, this tee allows you to split a single 1" line into two separate directions or merge two lines into one. Unlike standard white PVC which can degrade under sunlight, this black PVC fitting is UV-stabilized, making it one of the most reliable irrigation fittings for surface installations and exposed greenhouse plumbing.
Designed for a permanent solvent-weld connection, this tee requires PVC Glue to create a leak-proof seal with your pipe. Its furniture-grade appearance ensures a clean, professional look for any garden or commercial setup.

Achieve a permanent, leak-free bond with proper solvent welding.
Step 1: Cut and Clean
Cut your 1" PVC pipe squarely using a pipe cutter. Remove any burrs or debris from the pipe end.
Step 2: Apply Primer
Apply PVC Primer to the outside of the pipe and the inside of the tee socket. This softens the plastic for bonding.
Step 3: Apply Glue
While the primer is still wet, apply a coat of PVC glue to both the pipe and the fitting socket.
Step 4: Connect and Hold
Immediately push the pipe into the tee with a quarter turn to distribute the glue. Hold firmly for 30 seconds to prevent push-out.
Ensure this tee fits your pipes:
