Actual Socket Diameter of a 1/2" Slip 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.

How to Use Slip Sling PVC Tee Fittings
When to use Slip Tees in your Project
Furniture Grade Slip Sling Tees connect two segments of PVC Pipe perpendicularly, with one end being static and the other being movable. Slip Tees are best used when building doors, flip-up elements, or other parts of a PVC structure that need to articulate or rotate, like a hinge.
Insert the Pipe into the Static End of the Slip Tee
Cut your PVC pipe segments to size, align the PVC pipe with the static Slip Tee socket and press it onto the pipe. Tap into place with a mallet or hammer to secure. If preferred, you can use clear PVC cement for a secure and permanent fit: Apply a small amount inside the static socket of the Slip Tee PVC fitting before insertion.
Insert another Pipe Segment into the Larger Socket
Insert another PVC pipe segment perpendicularly into the slip socket of the Slip Tee. At this point, the other pipe should rotate freely around the slip socket allowing articulation of the connection. You can secure the slip socket with a small screw or fastener if need be.

I've use many fittings to build my ever expanding vine support structure. The slip-T type worked very well on the uneven sloped areas where I needed a connection that wasn't straight. So far, they've survived Florida's heat and rain, and still holding strong.

Used these to make a divider in my chicken coop with a door, all out of PVC pipe so I could separate the old birds from 7 week old chicks when I moved them outside. They worked perfectly for the door hinges, and also the middle post; allowed me to quickly construct my divider, use it for 10 weeks, and then take it down and easily store along the ridge of my hen house roof until I need it again in a couple of years. I wish they were less expensive, but its not a bad value compared to alternatives and how much use I will get out of them.
