PVC Tee, 2 SxSxS

The humble tee is one of the most-used fittings in any plumbing system, and this American Granby 2" PVC tee delivers a clean three-way junction with slip sockets on all ports. Configured slip x slip x slip, it lets you branch a 2" line at 90 degrees or merge two lines into one, the foundational move for building out distribution headers and manifolds.

Split and combine flow with confidence

Tees handle the everyday work of dividing and combining flow in distribution headers, bypass loops, and multi-equipment manifolds. With three slip sockets, this tee cements directly to 2" Schedule 40 pipe at every connection, forming permanent, pressure-rated joints that will not loosen over time the way a mechanical connection might. It is a core component for building out treated-water plumbing around softeners, filters, and storage tanks, where reliable branching keeps the whole system organized and serviceable.

• Three-way 2" junction
• Connection: slip x slip x slip sockets
• Fitting type: tee
• Material: Schedule 40 PVC
• Solvent-weld all three ports for permanent joints
• Approximate weight: 0.44 lb each

For solid joints, cut the pipe square, deburr the cut ends, and clean the mating surfaces, then apply PVC primer followed by cement to both the pipe and the socket. Seat each pipe fully with a slight twist to spread the cement and hold briefly while the bond sets. Dry-fitting the assembly first helps confirm the branch orients correctly before you commit to cement, since the geometry is fixed once glued. The smooth, corrosion-resistant bore of PVC keeps water flowing cleanly through all three legs with no rust or internal scaling from the fitting. For reliable 2" branching in water-treatment plumbing, this American Granby tee is a dependable, economical staple.

When planning a layout, dry-assemble the run first to verify alignment and orientation before any primer or cement touches the parts. Mark the insertion depth and the rotational position with a pencil so each fitting seats fully and points the right way once the cement flashes. A few minutes of dry-fitting prevents the common mistake of gluing a part a few degrees off, which on a permanent solvent-weld joint can only be corrected by cutting it out and starting over.
