Reducer Tee PVC Fitting Covers fit over Tee fittings which must accommodate different sized pipes on the through side of the tee fitting. They’re called “Reducers” because they accept larger pipes from any of the three openings and can reduce to a smaller pipe size on any side as well. The items’ names use standard PVC cover sizings (see sizing chart here, but start with an “R” for “Reducer”.
Reducer Tee PVC Fitting Covers are split in half, so they always come in pairs (Left & Right). #R10 and #R11 will reduce #10 and #11 pipes to pipes as small as size #3, while #R12 and #R13 will reduce #12 and #13 pipes to pipes as small as size #7.
Pre-marked cutting lines let you trim the PVC tee reducer fitting cover to the desired reduced size. So, for example, #R13 will reduce #10 pipe to #9, #10, #11, #12, or #13 after you cut off some of the reducing cone, or will reduce all the way to #7 without any cutting.
Size Examples:
To reduce 2" pipe to 1" pipe, and 1" thickness of pipe insulation is being installed, order #R11 (going with the result for the larger-sized pipe on the PVC Fitting Size Chart). Cut one side of the reducer cone completely off and cut the other end's reducer cone to size #9 (following the markings).
To reduce 3" pipe to 2" pipe, and 1" thickness of pipe insulation is being installed, order #R13 (again, referencing the larger-sized pipe’s PVC fitting size). Cut one side of the reducer cone completely off and cut the other end's reducer cone to size #11, following the markings.
*Please note that a standard PVC Tee Cover can be used on tee fittings that reduce on the top part of the tee (not the through pipe). A standard PVC Tee
