Product Information
Full details
The Primaplumb 40mm 92.5° Swept Tees in Black are designed for plumbers and DIY enthusiasts seeking efficient and reliable pipework transitions. The key benefit is their ability to ensure optimal flow with minimal resistance due to the smooth 92.5° angle. A minor consideration is that while the push-fit design simplifies installation, ensuring a completely secure and leak-free connection requires proper pipe preparation and seating.

FAQs
What is the primary advantage of a swept tee over a standard tee?
A swept tee features a gradual 92.5° curve, which allows for smoother fluid flow and reduces the risk of blockages and system noise compared to the sharper 90° angle of a standard tee.
Is this fitting suitable for hot water systems?
This fitting is primarily designed for cold water and drainage applications. Check product specifications for temperature limits if considering use in other systems.
Do I need any special tools for installation?
No, the push-fit design means no special tools are required. You may benefit from a pipe cutter and a tape measure for accurate pipe preparation.
What material is the swept tee made from?
The swept tee is constructed from durable black plastic.
Can this fitting be used outdoors?
While durable, prolonged exposure to harsh UV radiation might affect the plastic over time. For buried applications or extreme outdoor conditions, consult specific product suitability guides.
How do I ensure a leak-proof connection?
Ensure the pipe is clean, cut square, and fully inserted into the fitting until it reaches the internal stop. Avoid twisting the pipe during insertion.
What is the angle of the sweep?
The angle of the sweep is 92.5 degrees.
Troubleshooting
Leak at connection
Ensure the pipe is fully inserted into the fitting. Check that the pipe end is clean, smooth, and cut square. Verify the pipe diameter is correct for the 40mm fitting.
Difficulty inserting pipe
Check for obstructions inside the fitting or on the pipe end. Ensure the pipe is not deformed. Lightly lubricate the pipe end with water or approved plumbing lubricant if necessary.
Fitting does not seem secure
Confirm the pipe has been pushed in completely to the designated depth. Ensure the pipe is not under excessive stress or at an awkward angle during connection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the ends of the 40mm pipes are clean, dry, and free from burrs or debris. Mark the insertion depth on the pipe. Push the pipe firmly and squarely into the swept tee fitting until it reaches the depth mark, ensuring it is fully seated. Repeat for all connections.
Compatibility: This swept tee is designed for use with standard 40mm diameter plumbing pipes. It is compatible with various plumbing systems, including drainage and waste pipework, provided they adhere to standard dimensions.
Care: No special care is required for the fitting itself under normal operating conditions. Periodically check connections for any signs of leakage, especially after initial installation or system pressure changes. Clean exterior with a damp cloth if necessary.
