Pipe tee made of PVC plastic

UNSPSC 40174608 PVC plastic pipe tee (Commodity) encompasses the supply of PVC pipe fittings and related components for water and sanitary sewer infrastructure replacement projects. State and local governments buy these fittings as part of coordinated utility main rehabilitation and extension work, typically bundled with pipe material, installation labor, and related appurtenances such as service connection fittings, wyes, and adapters. Recent solicitations show PVC tee fittings and related PVC service connection components being purchased within larger sewer and water main replacement contracts that address aging infrastructure, capacity constraints, and water quality improvements. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county utilities agencies and special-purpose sanitation districts responsible for water and sewer system maintenance and capital improvement.
