The PVC Tee (SxSxS) is the essential junction fitting for any irrigation or plumbing system. Featuring three slip sockets of equal size, this tee allows you to split a single line into two directions or create a 90-degree branch off your main PVC pipe run. It is frequently paired with PVC 90° Elbows to route water precisely around obstacles. Whether you are building a multi-valve manifold or simply routing water to a new garden zone, this fitting provides the structural integrity and flow capacity you need.
Molded from industrial-grade Schedule 40 PVC, these tees are designed for permanent, solvent-welded connections. They resist corrosion, scaling, and UV degradation, making them suitable for both underground trench installations and above-ground pump assemblies.
Confirm your pipe size before selecting a tee.

Follow these steps for a secure three-way connection.
Step 1: Dry Fit
Cut your three pipe sections squarely and deburr the edges. Assemble the tee onto the pipes without glue to ensure correct positioning and measurement.
Step 2: Prime
Disassemble. Apply Purple Primer to the outside of the pipe ends and the inside of the tee sockets.
Step 3: Glue
Apply a generous coat of PVC Glue to both the pipe and the socket.
Step 4: Assemble
Immediately push the pipe into the tee with a quarter-turn twist to distribute the cement. Hold for 30 seconds. Repeat for the other two connections.
