Tee, Slip X Slip X Slip 12" (C601-120)
The 12" PVC Schedule 40 Slip x Slip x Slip Tee (Part No. C601-120) is a large-diameter, three-way branch fitting designed for high-volume pressure piping systems where a full-bore 90-degree branch connection is required on the same diameter as the mainline run. All three ports accept 12-inch PVC pipe or spigot fittings via solvent-weld connection, delivering a permanent, pressure-rated joint with no threading, no gaskets, and no mechanical hardware to maintain.
At 12 inches, this is a significant structural fitting — one that anchors mainline distribution networks, irrigation headers, and industrial supply systems at their highest flow capacity. The equal-outlet configuration means there is no reduction at the branch, making it the correct choice when full flow capacity must be maintained through all three legs of the system. For applications requiring a reduced branch outlet, a reducing tee or reducer bushing combination would be appropriate — but where the branch demands the same diameter as the run, this fitting is the standard solution.
Manufactured from virgin PVC compound to ASTM D2466 standards, this tee offers the corrosion resistance, chemical compatibility, and low-friction flow characteristics that make Schedule 40 PVC the material of choice across water utility, agricultural, and industrial piping environments. NSF/ANSI 61 certification confirms suitability for potable water contact, extending its application range into municipal water distribution and food-adjacent process piping.
All three slip sockets accept standard Schedule 40 pipe and are fully compatible with IPS-standard PVC solvent cements and primers for a clean, code-compliant installation.

Industries & Applications:
- Municipal Water Distribution — Serves as a primary branch fitting on large transmission mains, splitting flow to distribution zones, service areas, or parallel supply routes
- Industrial Process Piping — Used in high-volume supply headers requiring a full-bore 90-degree branch to parallel process lines, equipment inlets, or cooling circuits
- Commercial & Agricultural Irrigation — Anchors large-diameter mainline headers where full-bore branch connections feed independent irrigation zones or pump distribution manifolds
- Wastewater & Stormwater Infrastructure — Integrates into large-diameter collection networks as a branch junction in low-pressure or gravity-flow diversion systems
- Water Treatment & Filtration Plants — Used in treatment train manifolds and distribution headers where equal-diameter branching is required between process stages
- Aquaculture & Fish Hatchery Systems — Connects large supply mains to parallel tank distribution runs in high-volume recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS)
- Fire Suppression Support & Yard Mains — Applicable in non-pressurized or code-verified large-diameter yard main configurations; always verify with a licensed engineer and local fire code
- Mining & Industrial Water Supply — Provides reliable branching in large-scale site water distribution networks for dust suppression, process water, or equipment cooling
