They are available in two angle options, either 45 degrees (often called Y Junctions) or 88 degrees (often called Tee Junctions). Unequal junctions have a socket on both outlets, but the inlet is plain ended. The branch of an unequal junction is 110mm in diameter whilst the main run is 160mm. When using junctions in a drainage installation it is important to remember the basic principle of drainage design that all parts of the system must be accessible for inspection and cleaning. This FloPlast 45° Terracotta 160mm x 110mm Underground Drainage Unequal Junction double socket/spigot allows the straight connection of 160mm underground pipes and 110mm underground at an angle of 45°. This push-fit bend has a spigot at one end which should be installed in the direction of flow within the system.
