Our review of the CHARLOTTE PIPE 1 1/4 SCH 40 TEE SXSXS finds it best suited for contractors and homeowners who need a reliable PVC tee for cold potable water and pressure systems. The bottom line: this fitting is a straightforward, made-in-USA solution for irrigation, underground sprinkler systems and cold water supply lines where temperatures stay under 140 F. Its Schedule 40 construction and pressure rating make installation predictable and compatible with common 1 1/4 in PVC pressure pipe, so projects that prioritize domestic manufacture and standard plumbing practice will appreciate it.

Key Features

• Made in the USA: Provides confidence in consistent manufacturing quality and supply chain traceability for professional installs.
• Potable water safe: White PVC material is specified for potable water applications, making it suitable for cold water service and irrigation.
• Pressure-rated: Designed for pressure use so it pairs with Schedule 40 pressure piping in common plumbing and irrigation systems.
• Temperature limit: Intended for systems that will not exceed 140 F, which matches typical cold water and outdoor use cases.
• Schedule 40 compatibility: Works with standard PVC Schedule 40 pipe sizes and fittings used in pools, sprinklers and underground runs.
• Box quantity: Supplied in a 25 unit box which helps for bulk jobs and reduces packaging handling on-site.

Who It's For

This tee is aimed at plumbers, irrigation contractors and skilled DIYers installing cold water supply lines, sprinkler manifolds or pool plumbing where a robust, standard Schedule 40 pressure fitting is required. The product suits projects that value consistent dimensions and ease of solvent-weld installation with other PVC pressure fittings.

It is not intended for hot-water systems or chemical process lines that exceed the 140 F limit, nor for applications needing non-PVC materials. If you need fittings rated for high temperatures or specialized chemical resistance, consider alternate materials rather than this PVC tee.
