Description
Schedule 40 PVC Street Tee (SPG x SOC x SOC)
Schedule 40 PVC Street Tee (SPG x SOC x SOC) provides a three-way branch connection within compatible PVC piping systems while combining one spigot connection with two socket connections. The spigot end fits into a compatible socket connection, while the two socket ends accept appropriately sized PVC pipe for solvent-cement joining.
The Spigot x Socket x Socket street tee configuration allows the fitting to connect directly into a compatible socket while providing two additional socket connection points for adjoining PVC pipe. Selection should account for nominal size, Schedule 40 PVC compatibility, branch orientation, adjoining fittings and pipe, solvent-cement joining requirements, intended service conditions, piping alignment, and available installation clearance.

Street Tee Design
The street tee configuration combines one spigot connection with two socket connections in a single three-way fitting. The spigot side installs into an appropriately sized compatible socket, while the remaining socket connections accept compatible PVC pipe.
This arrangement can provide a compact branch connection by eliminating the need for an additional coupling at the spigot side. Nominal size, connection orientation, adjoining fittings, and PVC pipe compatibility should be confirmed before ordering.
Spigot Connection
The spigot connection provides the male-style solvent-cement interface of the street tee and is intended to fit into an appropriately sized compatible socket. Proper preparation and compatible PVC joining materials are important for establishing the intended permanent connection.
The receiving socket should be checked for correct size and compatibility before assembly. The fitting should align naturally with adjoining piping so it is not used to compensate for improperly positioned components.
Socket Connections
The two socket connections provide connection points for appropriately sized compatible PVC pipe. Proper pipe preparation, compatible joining materials, insertion, and assembly procedures help establish consistent solvent-cemented connections.
Both socket connections should be checked for correct nominal size before installation. Adjoining piping should also be supported so unnecessary mechanical stress is not transferred to the tee after assembly.
Compact Branch Connection
A Schedule 40 PVC Street Tee provides a compact method of creating a three-way branch connection in compatible PVC piping. The spigot side installs directly into a compatible socket while the two socket ends provide connection points for adjoining PVC pipe.
Application suitability should be evaluated using the requirements of the complete piping system rather than the Schedule 40 designation alone. Nominal size, branch orientation, adjoining components, PVC compatibility, joining materials, service conditions, piping support, and system alignment should all be considered during selection.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the nominal size.
- Verify SPG x SOC x SOC configuration.
- Check Schedule 40 PVC compatibility.
- Use compatible PVC solvent-cement joining materials.
- Support adjoining piping to minimize fitting stress.
Our PVC fitting specialists can help review nominal size, Schedule 40 requirements, Spigot x Socket x Socket configuration, adjoining fittings and PVC pipe, branch orientation, joining requirements, piping support, and available installation clearance before you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
