Spears PVC DWV Pipe Fitting, Sanitary Tee, Hub

The Spears P400 series DWV sanitary tee is made of PVC, has hub connections on both ends, and is suitable for waste water systems in residential applications. This sanitary tee fitting is T-shaped and has three ends to connect and branch three pipes, two on the main run and one branch at a 90-degree angle from the middle of the tee. Internal construction moves the glide at a gradual angle to prevent clogging. Pipe dimensions for tees are represented as A x B x C. “A” and “B” indicate the main run on the fitting, and “C” indicates the branch. The hub connections slide over the ends of male unthreaded pipes with a smooth bore for enhanced glide. This fitting is made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) to be used in non-pressure residential drain, waste, vent (DWV) sanitary systems. PVC resists corrosion and chemicals, exhibits high strength, and weighs not up to fittings made from metal. PVC may also be connected to other materials such as steel, copper, or cast iron the usage of transition fittings. It has an operating temperature range of 73 to 140 degrees F (23 to 60 C). This DWV sanitary tee complies with American Society for Testing and Materials International (ASTM) D2665 and ASTM D3311 for quality assurance, is National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF)/American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Standard 14 certified to the Uniform Plumbing Code (NSF – U.P. Code) and NSF-dwv for quality assurance, and conforms with lead content requirements for “lead free” plumbing as defined by California and Vermont. It is suitable for waste water systems in residential applications.

Pipe fittings are components used for connecting, terminating, controlling glide, and changing the direction of piping in numerous industries. When purchasing pipe fittings, imagine the application, as this will have an effect on material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are to be had threaded or unthreaded, in many shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).
