American Granby SCH 40 PVC Tee Slip x Slip x Slip 1½"
Reliable water distribution is a foundation of any properly designed pool plumbing system. The American Granby Schedule 40 2” PVC Tee (Slip x Slip x Slip) is a professional-grade fitting used to split or combine flow between three sections of pipe at a 90-degree angle. It is commonly installed in return manifolds, equipment pads, and circulation lines where consistent, balanced flow is required.
Manufactured specifically for pool and spa plumbing applications, this tee is built to handle continuous water flow, chemical exposure, and operating pressures found in residential and light commercial pool systems. This is not a general plumbing tee—it is engineered for the demands of pool circulation systems.
Why PVC Tees Matter in 2” Pool Plumbing
Two-inch plumbing is typically used in higher-flow sections of a pool system, where proper flow distribution becomes even more important. A properly sized, well-made tee ensures smooth transitions and reduces unnecessary restriction.
The American Granby 2” PVC tee is used to:
-
Split return lines evenly across multiple outlets
-
Tie equipment into main circulation lines
-
Build clean, organized equipment pad layouts
-
Support high-flow pool system designs
Using a Schedule 40 tee designed for pool use helps maintain efficiency and reduces the risk of leaks or premature plumbing failure.
Slip x Slip x Slip Connections for Permanent Installations
This fitting features Slip x Slip x Slip (socket) connections on all three ports, allowing 2” Schedule 40 PVC pipe to be solvent-welded directly into the tee.
Slip connections provide:
-
Strong, permanent joints
-
Smooth internal flow paths
-
Reliable, leak-resistant performance when installed correctly
Once cemented, the tee becomes a fixed part of the plumbing system, making it ideal for underground plumbing and permanent equipment pad installations.
Schedule 40 PVC Construction Built for Pool Systems
Constructed from rigid Schedule 40 PVC, this tee is pressure-rated for the conditions found in residential and light commercial pool systems. It is fully compatible with standard 2” Schedule 40 PVC pipe used throughout pool plumbing.
The material resists:
-
Chlorinated and chemically treated water
-
Temperature fluctuations
-
Cracking and deformation under pressure
-
Long-term wear in buried or exposed environments
This ensures dependable performance season after season.
