Product Information

Full details

The FloPlast Solvent Weld Swept Tee (40mm) is a reliable plumbing component designed for professional tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts looking to create efficient waste pipe connections. Its primary benefit is the swept internal design, which promotes superior flow rates and reduces the risk of blockages by guiding water smoothly through 90-degree junctions. A key caveat is that because it requires solvent welding, the installation is a permanent process that does not allow for future disassembly or adjustments without cutting the pipework.

FAQs

Can I use this with push-fit pipework?

No. Solvent weld fittings rely on a chemical bond that is incompatible with the rubber O-ring seal system used in push-fit fittings.

Is this tee suitable for hot water discharge?

Yes, it is designed for domestic waste systems, including those carrying hot water from sinks and basins.

Do I need a primer before applying solvent cement?

Standard practice involves using a pipe cleaner/degreaser, though you should always follow the specific instructions on the solvent weld cement container.

How long should I wait before running water through the pipes?

Most solvent cements require a set time of at least 15 to 30 minutes, but it is recommended to wait several hours for a full cure before subjecting the joint to high-pressure flow.

Can I use this for underground plumbing?

No, this is intended for internal domestic waste and soil applications above ground.

Troubleshooting

Joint is leaking immediately after installation

Ensure the pipe was fully seated in the fitting and that sufficient solvent cement was applied to cover the entire mating surface.

Pipe will not slide into the fitting

Check the pipe for burrs or physical damage at the end; use a file to smooth the edge and ensure the diameter is not deformed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Improved flow dynamics prevents debris buildup
  • High-quality material compliant with British Standards
  • Seamless integration with standard solvent weld pipe systems
  • Provides a robust, leak-resistant connection

Cons

  • Permanent installation prevents easy removal or repositioning
  • Requires proper ventilation when applying solvent cement
  • Not compatible with push-fit pipe systems

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a reliable installation, follow these steps:

  1. Preparation: Cut the pipe square and remove all burrs using a file or sandpaper to ensure a clean fit.
  2. Cleaning: Use a specialized pipe cleaner on both the pipe end and the internal socket of the tee to remove grease or debris.
  3. Application: Apply a generous, even layer of solvent weld cement to both surfaces.
  4. Joining: Insert the pipe into the fitting immediately, pushing firmly to the stop. Twist slightly to ensure even distribution of the cement.
  5. Curing: Allow the joint to set undisturbed for the time specified by your solvent manufacturer before introducing water.

Compatibility: This component is exclusively for solvent weld systems. Do not attempt to use it with push-fit pipe, as the diameters and sealing methods are not compatible.
