1401 Series PVC Tube Fitting, Tee, Schedule 40, Gray, 3/4 x 3/4 x 1/2 Barbed

This schedule 40 PVC tee fitting from Spears features barbed male inserts on each end, making it ideal for connecting and branching flexible polyethylene tubes. The barbed ends allow for quick and easy connection to the tubing. This T-shaped fitting has three openings, allowing for the connection and branching of three tubes - two on the main run and one branching at a 90-degree angle from the middle of the tee. The dimensions for the tee are represented as A x B x C, with “A” and “B” indicating the main run and “C” indicating the branch.

Made of gray PVC (polyvinyl chloride), the fitting provides chemical and corrosion resistance, high strength, and is lighter in weight than metal fittings. It is compatible with SIDR-PR flexible polyethylene tubing according to ASTM International standard D2239, as well as standard D2104 schedule 40 polyethylene tubing. With a maximum operating temperature of 140 degrees F, it meets ASTM International D1784 and D2609 standards for quality assurance, and is certified by the National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF) for potable water service. This PVC tee fitting is suitable for connecting flexible polyethylene tubing for a range of liquid transfer applications.

Tube fittings are essential components for connecting, branching, terminating, and changing the direction of tubing in pneumatic and hydraulic systems. They are commonly made of brass, stainless steel, PBT (polybutylene terephthalate), and other corrosion and wear-resistant materials. Tube fittings come in various types of connections, including threaded, welded, barbed, and push-to-connect (one-touch). The push-to-connect connections do not require any tools or sealants. These fittings are utilized in a wide range of applications, including machine tools, airplane and truck controls, and automated production lines, among others.

Spears Manufacturing, founded in 1969 and based in Sylmar, CA, produces thermoplastic fittings and valves for fluid, drain, waste, and vent systems. The company meets the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 9001 and is known for its high-quality products.

This tee fitting, with three openings for connecting and branching three flexible polyethylene tubes, provides a reliable and efficient solution for various fluid transfer applications.
