Description
Schedule 40 PVC Reducing Tee Deep (SOC)
Schedule 40 PVC Reducing Tee Deep (SOC) provides a three-way socket connection while incorporating a reduction in nominal connection size. The deep socket configuration receives appropriately sized compatible PVC pipe and supports a reducing branch transition within Schedule 40 PVC piping.
The reducing tee deep configuration combines socket connections with differing specified nominal sizes within one fitting. Selection should account for every connection size, Schedule 40 PVC compatibility, required reduction, branch orientation, joining requirements, piping alignment, support, and available installation clearance.

Reducing Tee Design
The reducing tee configuration provides a three-way piping connection while incorporating a change in nominal connection size. This allows compatible PVC piping of the specified sizes to meet within one branch fitting.
Every connection size and the intended branch orientation should be identified before permanent assembly. Planning the tee position helps coordinate adjoining pipe lengths, branch direction, nearby fittings, piping support, and available working clearance.
Deep Socket Connections
The deep socket connections receive appropriately sized compatible PVC pipe according to the nominal size of each opening. Because the fitting is reducing, each socket should be matched carefully to the correct adjoining pipe before permanent joining.
The mating pipe and socket surfaces should be prepared using the appropriate PVC solvent-cement joining procedure. Compatible joining materials, proper insertion, correct tee orientation, and careful alignment help establish the connections without placing unnecessary stress on the fitting.
Schedule 40 PVC Integration
The Schedule 40 PVC construction allows the reducing tee to integrate into compatible PVC piping arrangements requiring a three-way size transition. Matching every nominal size and socket interface to the adjoining PVC pipe 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, piping support, and applicable practices should all be considered during fitting selection.
Reducing Branch Transition
A Schedule 40 PVC Reducing Tee Deep combines a branch connection with a change in nominal piping size. The deep socket configuration provides the specified socket engagement at the applicable fitting connections.
Installation planning should consider every socket size, branch orientation, adjoining pipe alignment, nearby fittings, available clearance, and piping support. Connected pipe should align naturally so the fitting is not relied upon to correct offsets or support improperly positioned piping.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm every nominal size.
- Verify the required reduction.
- Check Schedule 40 PVC compatibility.
- Match each socket to the correct pipe size.
- Confirm the tee orientation before final assembly.
Our PVC fitting specialists can help review every nominal size, Schedule 40 requirements, deep socket configuration, required reduction, adjoining PVC pipe, branch orientation, joining requirements, piping alignment, support requirements, and available installation clearance before you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Schedule 40 PVC Reducing Tee Deep used for?
It provides a three-way socket connection while incorporating a transition between different nominal PVC pipe sizes.
What does SOC mean?
SOC identifies a socket-style connection designed to receive appropriately sized compatible PVC pipe.
Why is this fitting called a reducing tee?
The fitting uses different specified nominal connection sizes to provide a size transition within the three-way connection.
What does deep socket mean?
Deep socket identifies the specified extended socket configuration incorporated into the fitting design.
How are the socket connections assembled?
Compatible PVC pipe is joined using the appropriate PVC solvent-cement preparation and assembly procedure.
What should I confirm before ordering?
Confirm every nominal size, the reducing arrangement, Schedule 40 PVC compatibility, deep socket configuration, and required branch orientation.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Inspect all sockets before use.
- Confirm every nominal connection size.
- Verify the required reducing arrangement.
- Prepare each pipe end correctly.
- Set the tee orientation before final assembly.
