Reducing Tee, Slip x Slip x Slip 12" x 12" x 10" (C601-670)

The C601-670 is a 12" x 12" x 10" Schedule 40 PVC reducing tee with slip x slip x slip socket connections on all three outlets. This large-diameter fitting directs flow from a 12" solvent-weld main run into a reduced 10" branch, making it a go-to solution for trunk-and-branch distribution systems, manifold assemblies, and any application where a high-volume main line needs to feed a slightly smaller lateral without transitioning to threaded or flanged connections.

All three sockets accept IPS-dimension Schedule 40 PVC pipe bonded with standard PVC solvent cement, producing a fully fused, pressure-rated joint. The all-slip configuration eliminates threading stress concentrations at the branch — an important consideration at large diameters where wall thickness margins are tighter and joint integrity is critical.

Manufactured from virgin PVC compound to ASTM D2466, the C601-670 carries the white color standard for Schedule 40 PVC fittings and is suited for a broad range of water-handling, chemical transfer, and gravity-flow applications. At 12", this is a true commercial and municipal-grade fitting — a size commonly found in water distribution headers, large-scale irrigation mains, industrial process piping, and stormwater management infrastructure.

Industries & Applications:

• Municipal Water Distribution — Trunk line branching in water main infrastructure where a 10" lateral feeds a zone off a 12" distribution header
• Large-Scale Irrigation & Agriculture — High-volume irrigation manifolds and pivot system headers routing flow from a 12" supply main into 10" zone laterals
• Industrial Process Piping — Large-diameter coolant, wash water, or process fluid distribution systems requiring a reduced branch takeoff without flanged transitions
• Stormwater & Drainage Management — Gravity-flow collection networks where a 12" primary line branches into a 10" secondary run; PVC's smooth ID minimizes friction loss at high flow volumes
• Aquaculture & Water Treatment — Recirculating system headers and distribution manifolds on large commercial aquaculture or water treatment facilities
• Fire Suppression & Site Utility — Underground utility runs and fire protection supply mains in commercial or campus-scale installations
• Chemical Processing — Corrosion-resistant large-diameter branch fittings for dilute chemical transfer, rinse systems, and plant utility water where PVC's chemical resistance is advantageous
• Mining & Power Generation — Cooling water, slurry handling, and process water distribution on industrial sites requiring large-bore plastic piping
