PVC-U reducing tee GW/GW/GW 3/4 x 3/4 x 1/2" 401-101

PVC-U Reducing Tee – a reliable installation element

This NIBCO reducing tee made of PVC-U connects three pipes of different diameters: two with a diameter of 3/4 inch and one with a diameter of 1/2 inch. It is a key element in installation systems, allowing you to change the pipe diameter at one point, which allows you to adapt the installation to specific needs. The connection angle is 90 degrees, which ensures optimal flow of the medium.

This tee is designed for pressurized drinking water installations, but thanks to its properties, it also finds application in other systems. Installation is done by gluing with special aggressive adhesives, and the connection time does not exceed a minute – which translates into saving time during installation.

Features and benefits of use

The NIBCO PVC-U system is distinguished by a number of advantages that will be appreciated by both installers and end users:

• Durability: PVC-U material guarantees long-term use – minimum 50 years without loss of properties.
• Chemical resistance: The system is resistant to the action of several hundred chemical compounds, which ensures its reliability in various environments.
• No corrosion: PVC-U does not corrode, which eliminates the risk of damage and extends the life of the installation.
• Biological inertness: The material is physiologically and microbiologically inert, making it safe for drinking water.
• Easy installation: Gluing PVC-U elements is simple and quick, does not require specialized tools or electricity.
• Low weight: Compared to traditional materials (metal), PVC-U pipes are much lighter, making them easier to transport and install.
• Smooth inner surface: Reduces flow resistance, allowing you to reduce pipe diameters without loss of performance.
• Thermal insulation: Limits heat loss and prevents condensation of water vapor on the pipe surface.
• Fire resistance: The material does not support the combustion process, increasing safety of use.
• Electrical insulation: Eliminates the risk of galvanic and electrochemical corrosion, especially in underground installations.

Technical characteristics and application

The NIBCO reducing tee is made of high-quality PVC (polyvinyl chloride) in white color. Its outer diameter is 26.6 mm for 3/4 inch connections and 21.2 mm for the 1/2 inch connection. The use of a reducing tee allows for flexible installation design and adaptation to changing hydraulic conditions. The possibility of connecting with other elements of the PVC-U system using aggressive adhesives ensures the tightness and durability of the connections. Additionally, the NIBCO system offers threaded and flanged elements enabling integration with other installation systems.
