Westlake Pipe & Fittings 401080 8″ Slip x Slip x Slip Tee
The Westlake Pipe & Fittings 401080 8″ Slip x Slip x Slip Tee is a heavy-duty Schedule 40 PVC fitting designed to create a full-size branch connection in large-diameter piping systems. With three 8-inch slip socket ends, it allows seamless integration into 8-inch PVC networks where flow must be divided or redirected without reducing pipe diameter. This makes it ideal for high-capacity municipal, commercial, industrial, and irrigation applications that demand consistent performance and structural reliability.
Constructed from premium PVC, the 401080 tee offers excellent resistance to corrosion, chemical exposure, moisture, and soil conditions. Unlike metal fittings, it will not rust, scale, or degrade over time, making it suitable for both above-ground and underground installations. Its durable composition supports long service life in water distribution systems, wastewater infrastructure, stormwater management, and industrial process piping.
Each 8-inch slip socket is engineered for solvent-weld installation with standard Schedule 40 PVC pipe. When properly bonded using primer and cement, the joints form strong, leak-resistant connections that become an integral part of the piping system. The smooth interior walls promote efficient flow characteristics, minimizing friction and turbulence while maintaining consistent pressure throughout the network.
Despite its large diameter, the lightweight PVC construction makes handling and positioning more manageable than comparable metal fittings. Precision-molded hubs help ensure proper pipe insertion depth and alignment, supporting dependable installation results in both new construction and system expansion projects. Designed for durability and steady flow performance, the Westlake 401080 tee delivers reliable operation in demanding high-volume PVC piping systems.
