Actual Socket Diameter of a 1/2" PVC Tee Fitting
Why is are PVC fitting sockets bigger than their named size?
PVC sizes get their name from the inner diameter of the PVC pipe as they are nominal, or 'in name only'. If you add the thickness of the wall on each side of the pipe, the outside diameter of the PVC pipe will always be larger that the actual PVC size.
What will this 1/2" PVC Tee fit?

How to Use Standard PVC Tee Fittings
When to use PVC Tees in your Project
Furniture Grade 3-Way PVC Tees connect up to three (3) segments of PVC pipe to build walls, scaffoldings, and crossbars. PVC pipe can be inserted directly into each socket, creating a perfectly flat, heavy-duty T connection.
Insert the PVC Pipe into the Tee Fitting
Cut your PVC pipe segments to size, align the PVC pipe with the PVC Tee socket and press it into place. Repeat for the other two sockets. If preferred, you can use clear PVC cement for a secure and permanent fit: Apply a small amount inside the Tee PVC fitting before insertion.
Tap into Place until Fully Seated in the Tee
Tap each PVC pipe until it is fully seated inside the Tee fitting. The pipe should be inserted until it hits the stop or detent inside the fitting. You can then use the PVC Tee in the remainder of your PVC project or build.

I used this item as a "T" fitting in my custom auto wiring loom. Most wiring loom "T" fittings are generic and industrial looking. I wanted one that would provide a "show" finish to my wire loom. Worked Great!

We used these to build a PVC tubing substructure for a cover to be placed on a raised bed planter. Works for our purpose and is decently strong.

Using this FORMUFIT PVC tee fitting fit well on the FORMUFIT brand piping. I’m building a planter/greenhouse with it. This PVC is great because it has no markings, it’s non-toxic and food safe. I checked the pricing on this vs my local hardware store and it’s about the same, but I can be lazy and get it at my doorstep instead of running to the store ha.Combining this with the other FORMUFIT PVC piping/junctions, etc. turned out really great. I will continue buying this brand in the future for more projects.
