Campbell 1 inch PVC Insert Tee – Barbed Fitting for Poly Pipe Systems

The Campbell 1 inch PVC Insert Tee is a barbed-style fitting used to join three segments of polyethylene (PE) tubing in cold water distribution systems. Engineered for use with standard flexible poly pipe, this tee provides a mechanical grip via ribbed insert ends, enabling a reliable, pressurized seal when used with approved stainless steel clamps or crimp rings.

This fitting is fabricated from durable white PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and is suitable for underground or above-ground applications in non-potable water systems, irrigation lines, and agricultural or utility piping installations.

Performance Characteristics

• ✅ Connection Type: Insert x Insert x Insert (barbed)
• ✅ Material: Schedule-rated PVC, impact- and corrosion-resistant
• ✅ Working Pressure: Rated for use in cold water systems up to 100 PSI (dependent on pipe and clamp type)
• ✅ Standards Compliance: Manufactured to ASTM D2609 and NSF 14 standards for poly insert fittings
• ✅ Secure Fit: Compatible with standard 1 inch ID polyethylene pipe using stainless steel hose clamps or equivalent mechanical restraints

Installation Guidelines

Ensure pipe ends are clean and cut square. Insert the barbed ends fully into the poly pipe and secure with two stainless steel clamps per joint to maintain pressure integrity. Fittings should be installed in accordance with local plumbing codes and best practices for cold water PE distribution systems. Avoid solvent welding—this product is not designed for glued applications.

Application Scope

This tee is used in cold water plumbing and irrigation systems to split or redirect flow paths while maintaining consistent inner diameter and pressure. It is commonly installed in agricultural watering systems, well water distribution, and landscape irrigation zones.

Material Insight

PVC insert fittings offer resistance to scaling and corrosion while remaining lightweight and chemically stable. Their non-metallic construction also prevents galvanic interaction with dissimilar piping materials and makes them suitable for buried installations when protected from UV exposure.

The Campbell 1 inch PVC Insert Tee delivers dependable performance for PE piping systems requiring lateral branch connections. Designed for use in cold water distribution, it ensures a secure fit and system longevity when properly installed and clamped.
