Westlake Pipe & Fittings 401-040 Tee Socket, 4″ Slip

The Westlake Pipe & Fittings 401-040 Tee Socket, 4″ Slip, is a high-quality PVC fitting engineered to provide a strong, reliable, and leak-resistant connection in large-diameter piping systems. Designed for applications requiring a three-way pipeline junction, this tee socket allows for the creation of branch lines while maintaining consistent water flow and structural integrity. Ideal for plumbing, irrigation, pool, and spa systems, it provides professional-grade performance in both residential and commercial installations.

Manufactured from premium Schedule 40 PVC, the 401-040 Tee Socket offers superior resistance to corrosion, chemical exposure, and UV damage, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. Unlike metal fittings, it will not rust, scale, or deteriorate over time, ensuring long-lasting and maintenance-free operation. The robust construction of this tee socket ensures that it maintains structural integrity even under high-pressure conditions, providing a dependable solution for water distribution, recirculation, and branching pipelines.

The 4-inch slip connections allow for easy and secure bonding with standard Schedule 40 PVC pipe using PVC solvent cement. Its T-shaped design provides a smooth, continuous flow from the mainline to the branch line while minimizing turbulence and pressure loss. This ensures efficient operation for applications such as pool returns, spa circulation, irrigation manifolds, or commercial water systems. The smooth interior maintains consistent flow and reduces the risk of clogs or buildup, critical for high-demand systems.

Installation is straightforward. Apply PVC primer and solvent cement to the slip ends, insert the corresponding pipes, and allow the bond to set, creating a permanent, leak-free connection. Its lightweight yet sturdy design simplifies handling and placement, saving time during installation while providing a professional finish. The 401-040 Tee Socket is versatile, allowing for new installations, system upgrades, or retrofits, and can be combined with other fittings, valves, or accessories to meet system requirements.

This tee socket is particularly valuable for creating branch lines or distributing water evenly throughout a piping network. It allows for integration of filtration equipment, valves, or smaller branch lines without compromising system pressure or flow. Its durability ensures it withstands environmental stressors and chemical exposure, making it suitable for pool and spa circulation systems, irrigation networks, and large-scale plumbing projects.

By choosing the Westlake 401-040 Tee Socket, 4″ Slip, you are ensuring a reliable, durable, and efficient three-way connection for your piping system.
