Description
1" Schedule 40 PVC Tee (SOC x SOC x MPT)
1" Schedule 40 PVC Tee (SOC x SOC x MPT) provides a three-way connection using two socket openings and one male pipe-threaded connection. The socket connections receive appropriately sized compatible PVC pipe, while the MPT connection mates with a compatible female pipe-threaded component.
The SOC x SOC x MPT tee configuration combines three connection points within one 1" Schedule 40 PVC fitting. Selection should account for the 1" nominal size, Schedule 40 PVC compatibility, socket and male-threaded positions, adjoining components, joining requirements, tee orientation, piping alignment, and available installation clearance.

Tee Design
The tee configuration provides three connection points within a single fitting for compatible Schedule 40 PVC piping layouts. Two socket openings connect to compatible PVC pipe, while the male-threaded connection provides the third connection interface.
The tee orientation should be established before permanent assembly so each connection corresponds with the intended adjoining component. Planning the fitting position helps coordinate pipe routing, branch orientation, nearby fittings, piping support, and available working clearance.
Socket & MPT Connections
The socket connections receive appropriately sized compatible PVC pipe, while the MPT connection mates with a compatible female pipe thread. This combination allows socket-style PVC piping connections and a male-threaded interface to meet within one tee.
The socket surfaces should be prepared for the applicable PVC solvent-cement joining procedure, while the threaded connection should be started carefully and kept properly aligned. Compatible joining and thread-sealing materials should be selected for the respective connection types.
Schedule 40 PVC Integration
The Schedule 40 PVC construction allows the tee to integrate into compatible Schedule 40 PVC piping arrangements requiring SOC x SOC x MPT connections. Matching the 1" nominal size and each connection interface to the adjoining components helps maintain the intended piping configuration.
Application suitability should be evaluated using the requirements of the complete piping system rather than the schedule designation alone. Intended service conditions, adjoining materials, connection compatibility, joining materials, installation environment, piping support, and applicable practices should all be considered during fitting selection.
Three-Way Mixed-Connection Transition
A 1" Schedule 40 PVC Tee with SOC x SOC x MPT connections provides a three-way transition using both socket and male-threaded interfaces. This arrangement can connect compatible PVC pipe at two openings while providing a threaded connection at the remaining opening.
Installation planning should consider socket insertion, thread engagement, branch orientation, adjoining component alignment, nearby fittings, and available clearance. Connected components should align naturally with the tee so the fitting is not relied upon to correct offsets or support improperly positioned piping.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the 1" nominal size.
- Verify all three connection types.
- Check Schedule 40 PVC compatibility.
- Match the MPT position to the piping layout.
- Confirm the tee orientation before final assembly.
Our PVC fitting specialists can help review the 1" nominal size, Schedule 40 requirements, SOC x SOC x MPT configuration, adjoining PVC pipe, mating female-threaded component, joining requirements, tee orientation, piping layout, and available installation clearance before you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 1" Schedule 40 PVC Tee used for?
It provides a three-way connection using two socket connections for compatible PVC pipe and one male-threaded connection.
What does SOC mean?
SOC identifies a socket-style connection designed to receive appropriately sized compatible PVC pipe.
What does MPT mean?
MPT means Male Pipe Thread and identifies an externally threaded connection designed to mate with a compatible female pipe thread.
How many connections does this tee have?
The tee has three connection points arranged as socket x socket x male pipe thread.
Do all three connections use the same joining method?
No. The socket connections use the applicable compatible PVC solvent-cement joining procedure, while the MPT connection uses a threaded mechanical connection.
What should I confirm before ordering?
Confirm the 1" nominal size, SOC x SOC x MPT arrangement, Schedule 40 PVC compatibility, adjoining PVC pipe, and mating female-threaded component.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Inspect all connections before use.
- Confirm the 1" nominal size.
- Prepare both socket connections correctly.
- Start the threaded connection carefully by hand.
- Set the tee orientation before final assembly.
