FloPlast Solvent Weld Waste Tee - 32mm Anthracite Grey
Waste tees are used in two different ways. Their main use is to connect a section of waste pipe into an existing pipe run. The tee is swept to ensure that the new section flows into the main run in the correct direction of flow. In most kitchen and bathroom applications the branch section drops into a main pipe run that is situated below it.
The second use for a tee is to create a 90 degree bend with access for cleaning. This is achieved by using an access plug in the part of the swept tee that is at the opposite end to the direction of flow.
This fitting is available in 32mm, 40mm and 50mm size options.
Our solvent weld waste is manufactured in the UK to BS EN 1455 and is kitemarked.
To make a solvent weld joint, first, ensure that the outer wall of the pipe and the inner wall of the fitting are both clean and free from grit or swarf. Apply SC250 solvent cement to both surfaces. Push the pipe fully into the fitting and give it a twist to ensure that full contact has been made. Clean off any excess solvent with a damp cloth and leave for 5 minutes to set. The installation should be left for 12 hours before testing.

Solvent weld joints are permanent - they cannot be demounted once the joint has been made. When using solvent cement, always work in a well-ventilated area and keep the cement away from heat sources or naked flames. Avoid any contact with skin - if contact does occur then wash thoroughly with soap and water.
