The Dual-Purpose Tee. Glue Your Line, Thread Your Riser.

The Schedule 40 PVC Combination Tee (Slip x Slip x FPT) is the professional's choice for installing sprinklers along a rigid pipeline. Designed with two slip sockets to connect sections of Schedule 40 PVC Pipe, it features a Female Pipe Thread (FPT) outlet on the branch (top) side. This allows you to screw in a threaded riser or swing joint directly into the mainline without needing extra adapters.

This configuration is most commonly used in irrigation systems to install Sprinkler Risers or threaded nipples directly into a main water line. By eliminating the need to glue in a separate tee and threaded bushing, this single unit saves space, installation time, and reduces the risk of leaks.

Why Choose a Combination Tee?

Efficient Design: Eliminates the need for a separate bushing or adapter to transition from glue to thread, saving money and reducing leak points.
Ideal for Sprinklers: The standard FPT outlet is perfectly sized to accept cutoff risers, pop-up bodies, or funny pipe elbows.
Dura Quality: Molded from virgin PVC Type I, Grade I resin, meeting ASTM D-2466 standards for long-term durability underground.
Reducing Options: Available in reducing sizes (e.g., 1" Run x 1/2" Thread), allowing you to maintain high flow in the main line while feeding smaller zone components.

How to Install: A Step-by-Step Guide

This fitting requires both solvent welding and thread sealing.

Step 1: Glue the Run
Clean, prime, and glue the PVC pipe into the two slip sockets on the run of the tee using PVC Glue. Ensure the threaded outlet faces the correct direction (usually up) before the glue sets.

Step 2: Prep the Riser
Apply thread seal tape to the male threads of your riser or nipple.

Step 3: Thread the Branch
Screw the riser into the center FPT outlet. Hand tighten, then give it a final quarter-turn with pliers. Tip: It is often easier to screw the riser in after the tee is glued to the pipe to ensure vertical alignment.
