Rain Bird PVC valve fitting 1301-010 - union tee fitting - 1-inch F to 2 x 1-inch M

Tee fitting for Rain Bird valve manifolds

The Rain Bird RB1301-010 is a compact PVC tee fitting for building modular valve assemblies in automatic irrigation systems. It features one 1-inch female connection and two 1-inch male connections, with one of the male connections designed as the valve connection.

The tee belongs to the Rain Bird RB1300 Series with male valve connections and is particularly suitable for creating compact valve assemblies inside a valve box.

Direct connection of an irrigation valve

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

The remaining connections allow the tee to be integrated into the modular Rain Bird PVC manifold system and combined with compatible manifolds, couplings and other system components.

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 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 of the valve assembly.

Frequently asked questions about the Rain Bird RB1301-010

Which connections does the RB1301-010 have?

The tee has one 1-inch female connection and two 1-inch male connections. One of the male connections is designed for the direct connection of a compatible irrigation valve.

How many irrigation valves can be connected directly?

The RB1301-010 is designed for the direct connection of one irrigation valve with a 1-inch female thread. If two valve connections are required, the RB1303-010 provides two corresponding valve outlets.

Which irrigation valves are compatible?

A compatible irrigation valve with a 1-inch female thread can be connected directly to the 1-inch male valve connection.

Can the irrigation valve be replaced later?

Yes. The telescoping Rain Bird manifold system simplifies the replacement of irrigation valves, including valves with different installation lengths, without cutting the existing pipework.

Is Teflon tape required for installation?

No additional Teflon tape is required on the designated O-ring-sealed connections of the Rain Bird manifold system. Large O-rings provide the seal at these system connections.

What is the maximum operating pressure?

Rain Bird specifies a maximum operating pressure of 10.5 bar for the PVC manifold system.
