Rain Bird PVC valve fitting 1303-010 - tee fitting - 1-inch F to 2 x 1-inch M

Tee fitting for two irrigation valves

The Rain Bird RB1303-010 is a PVC tee fitting for creating a compact valve assembly with two irrigation valves. It features one 1-inch female connection and two 1-inch male connections. The two male connections are designed for compatible irrigation valves with 1-inch female threads.

This makes the tee particularly suitable for automatic irrigation systems where two separate watering zones need to be installed efficiently inside a valve box.

Two 1-inch male valve connections

The two 1-inch male threads allow two compatible irrigation valves with 1-inch female threads to be connected directly. No additional couplings are required between the manifold and appropriately threaded valves.

The RB1303-010 belongs to the Rain Bird RB1300 Series with male valve connections and can be combined with additional components from the modular Rain Bird PVC manifold system.

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 or install a valve and making future modifications to the valve assembly easier.

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 system expansion.
