Reducing Tee, Slip x Slip x Slip PVC Schedule 40 4" x 4" x 1" (401-417)
$21.21
The 401-417 is a PVC Schedule 40 reducing tee with a 4" slip (socket) run and a 1" slip (socket) branch outlet, all joined by solvent cement welding per ASTM D2564. The two 4" run ports accept standard 4" PVC pipe ends for a permanent, pressure-rated inline connection, while the 1" slip branch accepts a standard 1" PVC pipe end — creating a fully solvent-welded, three-way reducing junction with no threaded connections at any port.
Manufactured from rigid PVC compound conforming to ASTM D1784 cell classification requirements, this fitting delivers the corrosion resistance, chemical compatibility, and long service life associated with Schedule 40 PVC across a wide range of commercial, industrial, and municipal piping systems. The Schedule 40 wall thickness provides reliable pressure-rated performance for both pressurized distribution systems and gravity-flow applications.
The 401-417 is the all-slip counterpart to the 402-417 (4" x 4" x 1" FPT branch) and occupies a well-defined position in the lower-middle range of the 4" all-slip reducing tee series — the 1" branch is larger than the minimal-flow tap sizes of the 401-415 (1/2") and 401-416 (3/4"), carrying enough flow capacity for dedicated service connections, small zone supply lines, and chemical injection circuits, while remaining clearly subordinate to the 4" mainline as a controlled branch. The all-slip configuration is the characteristic that governs the entire application context of this fitting: all three joints are permanent solvent welds, and none can be disconnected without cutting pipe. This makes the 401-417 the correct choice when the 1" branch is a designed-in permanent element of the piping system — a fixed chemical injection line, a dedicated zone feed that will never be relocated, a permanent air vent connection, or a long-term low-to-moderate flow service branch that is integral to the system layout rather than a serviceable connection point. The 1" branch size sits at a meaningful threshold within the series: at 3/4" and below, permanently solvent-welded branch connections are routine because the downstream elements are typically small and inexpensive to replace by cutting and re-piping if needed. At 1" and above, the downstream connected system elements — zone valves, flow control fittings, inline strainers — are substantial enough that the permanent nature of the branch joint deserves deliberate consideration before installation. Buyers who have any requirement to service, remove, or reconfigure the 1" branch connection in the future should select the 402-417 (FPT branch) instead, which provides an identical run configuration with a threaded 1" outlet that remains fully serviceable throughout the system's life.
