Sch40 STREET TEE (SPIG x SOC x SOC)
Product Overview
Missing a critical fitting during the height of the mid-summer heat can bring an entire commercial installation to a grinding halt. When your crews are facing tight project deadlines and rising temperatures, a missing Schedule 40 Street Tee leads to costly downtime, wasted labor hours, and potential turf stress. Supply shortages often strike during the peak spring rush, making it difficult to source specific configurations like the spigot by slip design. By securing your inventory of Lesso fittings now, you eliminate the risk of back-orders and ensure your projects stay on schedule, keeping your clients satisfied and your inspection dates firm.
The Lesso Schedule 40 Street Tee provides a significant technical advantage by allowing for direct connection into a socket fitting without the need for additional pipe sections. This compact design saves measurable labor time and reduces the number of cement joints required in tight valve boxes or manifold configurations. Unlike lower-grade alternatives that may suffer from inconsistent wall thickness or poor tolerances, these industrial-strength PVC fittings offer superior burst pressure resistance. Maintaining a well-stocked trailer with these versatile tees gives your firm a competitive edge through faster completion times and reduced long-term maintenance call-backs.

Installation Notes
Ensure that all mating surfaces are clean and free of debris before applying primer and solvent cement. The spigot end should be inserted fully into the receiving socket with a quarter-turn to ensure even distribution of the cement. Always follow ASTM D2855 standards for solvent welding and allow for proper cure times based on ambient temperature before pressure testing the system. Check local plumbing codes to ensure compliance with specific manifold or backflow assembly requirements.
