Product Information

Full details

The Primaplumb 40mm 92.5 degree swept tee is an essential component for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts alike, designed to facilitate efficient waste pipe transitions with minimal flow resistance. This fitting is ideal for creating branch connections in residential or commercial plumbing systems, offering a reliable, secure seal. While it significantly simplifies installation compared to traditional solvent-weld fittings, users must ensure their existing pipework is perfectly clean and burr-free to guarantee a watertight push-fit connection.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this be used on pressurized water pipes?

No, this product is designed specifically for waste and drainage systems, not for pressurized water supply lines.

Do I need to glue these joints?

No, the push-fit design uses integrated rubber seals to create a watertight connection, so no adhesive is required.

Can I remove the fitting after it has been pushed in?

Yes, but it often requires a firm pull and a slight twisting motion. It is recommended to replace the seals if the fitting is removed and re-installed multiple times.

What is the degree of the branch?

The branch is set at 92.5 degrees, which provides a slight angle to assist with gravity-fed drainage flow.

Is this compatible with all 40mm pipes?

It is designed for standard 40mm waste pipe systems. Always ensure the outer diameter is consistent before installation.

Troubleshooting

Pipe will not insert fully into the fitting

Check for rough edges or burrs on the pipe end; trim and sand smooth if necessary.

Water leaking from the connection

Verify the pipe is inserted past the internal seal and that the pipe is not oval or damaged.

Fitting feels loose

Ensure you are using standard 40mm waste pipe. If using thin-walled pipe, ensure the pipe is correctly supported to prevent movement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly faster installation than solvent-weld alternatives
  • Swept internal design minimizes the risk of blockages
  • Provides a clean and professional finish without the need for messy glues
  • Durable build quality ensures long-term reliability in standard waste systems

Cons

  • Requires precise pipe preparation to function correctly
  • Not suitable for high-pressure water supply lines
  • May be difficult to remove once installed if not properly lubricated

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Primaplumb 40mm swept tee is straightforward but requires attention to detail.

  1. Pipe Prep: Ensure the cut end of your 40mm pipe is perfectly square and free of any plastic burrs or sharp edges.
  2. Lubrication: If the pipe is difficult to insert, use a small amount of silicone-based pipe lubricant on the pipe end; do not use petroleum-based grease as it can degrade the rubber seals.
  3. Insertion: Push the pipe firmly into the fitting until it hits the internal stop.
  4. Maintenance: Regularly check the joints during your first few cycles of water flow to ensure there are no slow drips. Avoid using harsh chemical drain cleaners, as they can sometimes damage the internal seals if left to pool in the fitting.
