Sch40 TEE (SOC x SOC x SOC)
Product Overview
Missing a critical connection point during the height of the summer heat can lead to immediate system shutdowns and catastrophic turf damage for your clients. When you are rushing to meet project deadlines before a municipal inspection, a single out-of-stock fitting becomes a major liability that stalls your entire crew. Supply chain inconsistencies and long lead times for standard PVC components often disrupt seasonal workflows. By securing your inventory of Lesso Schedule 40 tees now, you ensure that your projects remain on schedule and your professional reputation stays intact despite market surges.
Lesso Schedule 40 tees provide a superior structural advantage over thin-walled alternatives by offering higher impact resistance and better pressure handling for mainline and lateral applications. These fittings are manufactured to rigorous industry standards, ensuring consistent socket depths and smooth interior walls that minimize friction loss. Using high-grade PVC components reduces the frequency of long-term maintenance calls caused by stress cracking or joint failure. Maintaining a well-stocked trailer with these reliable fittings gives your business a competitive edge by allowing for immediate on-site repairs and faster system expansions.

Installation Notes
Proper installation requires clean, square cuts on the connecting PVC pipe and the removal of all internal and external burrs. Apply a high-quality primer and solvent cement according to the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring a 90-degree turn during insertion to distribute the cement evenly. Follow all local plumbing codes regarding cure times before pressurizing the system, and ensure the fitting is supported by compacted backfill to prevent mechanical stress on the joints.
