Introducing the Homewerks Schedule 40 2 in. Compression X 2 in. D FPT PVC Tee — a reliable, easy-to-install junction designed for 2" PVC piping that blends quick compression with threaded versatility. Built for durable potable-water distribution, this tee brings together a compression connection on one end and a 2" female pipe thread (FPT) on the other, so you can mix slip-fit piping with threaded components in a single, tidy fitting.
Key features and benefits
-
Dual-end versatility: End 1 with a 2" compression connection for a secure, tool-friendly slip-fit into your 2" PVC run; End 2 with a 2" FPT to accept compatible male-threaded fittings or valves. This makes it ideal for rapid repairs, branch connections, or adapting threaded equipment to PVC piping.
-
Schedule 40 PVC body: Standard, durable PVC construction that matches typical residential and light commercial piping for dependable performance over time.
-
Pressure-rated: Designed to handle up to 150 psi, supporting common home water and irrigation applications with peace of mind.
-
Safety and compliance: NSF-listed for potable-water use and ANSI certified, giving you confidence in materials and manufacturing quality.
-
Lead-free construction: Built to minimize lead content, aligning with modern health and safety expectations for drinking-water systems.
-
Direct-connect design: Ready-to-use right out of the package in many standard installations, reducing workflow steps and potential leak points.
-
Package details: Comes as a single-piece fitting in bulk packaging, ideal for stocking and ongoing projects.
Ideal use cases
- Connecting a 2" PVC main to a threaded valve, adapter, or fixture in a residential plumbing run.
- Creating a branch in a 2" PVC line where a threaded component is required on one end and a slip-fit connection on the other.
- Repairs or retrofits in irrigation or water-distribution lines that benefit from a non-glue, removable joint on one side.
Why choose this fitting over alternatives
- Flexibility: Combines a compression end with a threaded end, enabling straightforward integration with both slip-fit pipes and threaded hardware without special tools or solvents for the compression side.
- Reliability: Schedule 40 PVC provides proven performance in typical plumbing and irrigation environments, while the 150 psi rating covers common domestic pressures.
- Safety and compliance: NSF-listed and ANSI-certified materials ensure suitability for potable-water applications, with lead-free construction aligning to current health standards.
Usage tips and considerations
Ensure compatibility with your 2" PVC piping and threaded components before installation. For best results, clean and prep pipe ends, inspect threads, and tighten the compression fitting securely to create a watertight seal. After assembly, check for leaks by gradually pressurizing the line and monitoring the joint. This tee is designed for direct-connect scenarios that require a reliable intersection between a compression-run and a threaded connection.
