Product Identity
The Lasco 1402166 is a gray PVC reducing tee fitting designed to join two 1-1/4 inch insert connections with a 1/2 inch female NPT branch. It meets NSF 14 and NSF 61 standards for potable water use and withstands temperatures up to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. The fitting measures 4.41 inches in overall length.
Target Installer
This fitting suits plumbers and irrigation installers who need a durable, code-compliant transition from larger insert pipe to a smaller threaded outlet in cold-water systems. It is not for installers requiring a slip or solvent-weld connection on the branch, nor for systems operating above the rated temperature limit.
Deciding Specification
The connection configuration of insert by insert by female NPT determines whether this tee matches the piping method and thread type required for the specific branch take-off in the installation.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 1-1/4" x 1/2" FNPT reducing tee or a different size?
This fitting is a 1-1/4" insert by 1-1/4" insert by 1/2" FNPT reducing tee made of gray PVC. Select it when you need to branch a half-inch female threaded line from a 1-1/4" insert main.
What does the 140 °F maximum temperature mean for my hot water lines?
The PVC body is rated for continuous service up to 140 °F, so it suits standard residential hot water distribution but not high-temperature hydronic heating loops.
How do the NSF 14 and NSF 61 standards affect potable water use?
NSF 14 certifies the fitting meets dimensional and physical property requirements for plastic piping, while NSF 61 confirms it is safe for contact with drinking water.
