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.

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.
