The Schedule 40 PVC Threaded Tee is the professional's choice for creating a three-way junction in a hard-piped system without the need for glue. Featuring Female Pipe Threads (FIPT) on all three ends, this fitting allows you to screw in threaded pipe nipples or adapters, making it ideal for building removable or modular manifolds for your PVC irrigation system.
Constructed from durable White Schedule 40 PVC, this tee is designed for pressure applications and is resistant to corrosion and chemical fertilizers. Whether you are splitting a main water line or installing a gauge or sensor into a piping run, the all-threaded design offers a secure, leak-free connection that can be disassembled if maintenance is required.

Follow these steps to ensure a leak-free threaded connection.
Step 1: Inspect Threads
Ensure the threads on both the tee and the pipe nipple you are inserting are clean and free of debris.
Step 2: Apply Sealant
Wrap the male threads of the pipe or nipple with thread seal tape. Apply 3-4 wraps in a clockwise direction to ensure a watertight seal.
Step 3: Hand Tighten
Screw the male component into the PVC tee by hand until it is snug. Ensure you are not cross-threading.
Step 4: Final Tighten
Use a strap wrench or pliers to give the connection one final turn (or half-turn). Do not overtighten, as excessive force can crack female PVC threads.
