Whether you're a homeowner tackling a garden irrigation upgrade, a maker building a PVC frame structure, or a tradesperson completing a plumbing rough-in, these 3-way PVC pipe fittings give you the directional control you need in a single solvent-weld component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eEach fitting is molded from rigid PVC (polyvinyl chloride), offering a smooth interior bore and uniform wall thickness for consistent solvent-cement adhesion. Available in four pipe sizes — 20mm (~¾\"), 25mm (~1\"), 32mm (~1¼\"), and 40mm (~1½\") — and three color options (White, Gray, Blue) to support color-coded system identification. The lateral tee variant provides a 90° branch off the main run, while the 45° elbow variant allows gradual directional changes with reduced flow turbulence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eTypical use cases include residential garden drip irrigation and sprinkler manifolds, PVC conduit routing for low-voltage wiring, and structural DIY frames for greenhouses, shelving, or furniture prototypes — all applications where a reliable 3-way PVC adhesive connector is essential.\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    Compatible with standard Schedule 40 PVC pipe in matching nominal sizes (20 \/ 25 \/ 32 \/ 40mm OD).
