Full details
This Davant Push Fit Swept Tee is designed for plumbing professionals and DIY enthusiasts needing to create a 91.25-degree angled connection in UPVC piping systems. Its primary benefit is the simplified, tool-free push-fit installation, significantly reducing assembly time. A potential caveat is that it's specifically for UPVC systems and not compatible with other pipe materials without appropriate adapters. Key features include its durable UPVC construction, chemical and corrosion resistance, and weather resilience.

FAQs
What is the primary advantage of the push-fit design?
The push-fit design allows for quick and easy connections without the need for solvent cement, primer, or specialized tools, significantly speeding up installation.
Can I use this tee with copper pipes?
No, this fitting is designed specifically for UPVC pipes. Use appropriate adapters if connecting to other pipe materials.
What does 'swept tee' mean?
A swept tee refers to a type of fitting with a gradual curve or sweep, in this case, a 91.25-degree bend, which can improve flow characteristics compared to a sharp angle.
Is this fitting suitable for hot water lines?
While UPVC has some temperature resistance, it is generally recommended for cold water applications. Consult specific temperature ratings if considering for hot water.
How do I ensure a secure connection?
Ensure the UPVC pipe is clean, cut squarely, and inserted fully into the fitting until it reaches the designated insertion depth mark. A secure connection should not be easily pulled apart.
What is the angle of the bend in this swept tee?
This Davant Push Fit Swept Tee features a 91.25-degree bend.
Troubleshooting
Leak at the connection point
Ensure the pipe is fully inserted to the correct depth and that the pipe end is clean and free of debris. Check for any damage to the pipe or the fitting's internal seal.
Difficulty pushing pipe into fitting
Confirm you are using the correct size UPVC pipe. Ensure the pipe end is cut squarely and is not deformed. Lightly chamfering the pipe edge can help.
Fitting cracked or damaged
Inspect the fitting for visible damage. If damaged, it must be replaced. Ensure proper handling during installation to avoid impacts.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Tool-free installation saves time and labor.
- Durable UPVC material offers longevity.
- Resistant to chemicals, corrosion, impact, and weather.
- Precise 91.25-degree angle for specific fitting needs.
- Simple to use, even for those new to plumbing.
Cons
- Limited to UPVC pipe systems; not universally compatible.
- Push-fit connections may require specific insertion depth for optimal seal.
- Not suitable for high-pressure applications without further assessment.
- Requires clean pipe ends for a secure, leak-free connection.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the ends of the UPVC pipes are clean, dry, and free from burrs. Mark the required insertion depth on the pipe end. Push the pipe firmly into the tee fitting until it reaches the depth mark. Ensure the pipe is straight and fully inserted for a secure seal.
Compatibility: This fitting is designed exclusively for use with compatible UPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride) pipes. It is not suitable for use with metal pipes, PEX, or other plastic tubing without appropriate transition fittings.
Care: Minimal care is required. Periodically inspect connections for any signs of damage or leakage. To clean the exterior, use a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the UPVC material.
