Rain Bird PVC valve fitting 1201-010 - union tee fitting - 1-inch F to 1-inch F + M

Tee fitting for Rain Bird valve manifolds

The Rain Bird RB1201-010 is a compact PVC tee fitting for building modular valve assemblies in automatic irrigation systems. It features one 1-inch female connection, an additional 1-inch female connection for the irrigation valve and one 1-inch male connection.

The tee belongs to the Rain Bird RB1200 Series with female valve connections and is particularly suitable for creating compact valve assemblies inside a valve box.

For irrigation valves with 1-inch male threads

The 1-inch female valve connection allows a compatible irrigation valve with a 1-inch male thread to be connected directly. No additional adapter is required between the manifold and an appropriately threaded irrigation valve.

The remaining connections allow the tee to be combined with compatible components from the modular Rain Bird PVC manifold system and expanded into a valve assembly with multiple irrigation zones.

Telescoping system for easy valve replacement

The Rain Bird PVC manifold system features a telescoping design. This allows irrigation valves with different installation lengths to be replaced without cutting the existing pipework or adding additional connection parts.

The appropriate connections can be loosened for maintenance, providing the necessary installation space to remove and install the irrigation valve while keeping the complete valve assembly easy to service.

Easy installation with large O-rings

Large O-rings provide reliable sealing of the system connections. The components of the Rain Bird PVC manifold system are designed for simple hand-tightened installation.

No additional Teflon tape is required on the designated O-ring-sealed system connections. This simplifies initial installation as well as future maintenance and expansion.
