These PVC tee socket fittings are designed for DIYers, plumbers, and contractors who need a dependable T piece connector across a wide range of pipe diameters — from compact 16mm runs to large-bore 160mm drainage mains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eEach tee is manufactured from rigid PVC (polyvinyl chloride) with a smooth internal bore and solvent-weld socket ends. Available in inner diameter (ID) sizes from 16mm (~0.63 in) to 160mm (~6.30 in), the fittings accept standard-wall PVC pipe and are joined using PVC solvent cement for a permanent, leak-free bond. Wall thickness varies by size, typically ranging from 1.8mm to 5.5mm depending on the diameter selected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eTypical use cases include residential and commercial drainage branch connections, garden drip-irrigation manifolds requiring a PVC T piece connector, and grey-water or rainwater harvesting pipe networks where a solvent-weld adhesive pipe fitting is preferred over mechanical couplings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"hdiy-compat\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"hdiy-compat-icon\"\u003e🔗\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fits standard-wall PVC pressure and drainage pipe (ID 16–160mm).
