Product Information
Full details
The Securplumb Compression Swept Tee (32mm) is an essential component for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts alike, designed to provide a reliable, leakproof junction in waste water drainage systems. Its primary benefit is the combination of a high-quality compression seal with integrated rubber gaskets, which simplifies assembly while ensuring long-term durability. While it is engineered for ease of use, users should note that as a 32mm specific component, it is strictly intended for standard waste pipe diameters and must be installed with clean, burr-free pipe ends to maintain its integrity.

FAQs
Can I use this for hot water lines?
No, this component is designed for waste water drainage systems and is not pressure-rated for supply lines.
Does this require solvent cement?
No, this is a mechanical compression fitting and should not be used with solvent cement.
Is the 32mm measurement the inner or outer diameter?
The 32mm measurement refers to the standard outer diameter of the waste pipe it is designed to fit.
Can I reuse the fitting?
Yes, as long as the internal rubber seal remains intact and the threads are not stripped, the fitting can be disassembled and reused.
What tools do I need for installation?
Usually, only your hands are required. If the fitting is in a tight space, a basin wrench may assist in tightening, but take care not to overtighten.
Is this suitable for outdoor use?
While the material is durable, it is primarily intended for indoor plumbing systems. Prolonged exposure to direct UV light may cause the plastic to become brittle over many years.
Troubleshooting
Leakage at the connection point
Ensure the pipe end is free of burrs and is pushed fully into the fitting. Verify that the rubber seal is seated correctly and not pinched.
Nut is difficult to tighten
Check the threads for plastic shavings or debris. Back off the nut and try threading it again manually to ensure it is not cross-threaded.
Pipe slides out of fitting
The pipe may not be inserted deep enough to engage the compression grip. Ensure it is pushed past the seal until it hits the interior pipe stop.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Tool-free hand tightening often sufficient for initial setup
- Leakproof integrated rubber seal technology
- Smooth internal bore prevents buildup and blockages
- Easy to disassemble for system servicing or cleaning
- Compatible with standard 32mm waste pipe dimensions
Cons
- Limited specifically to 32mm pipe sizes
- Requires perfectly cut, square pipe ends for the compression seal to function correctly
- Not suitable for high-pressure water supply lines (drainage use only)
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions:
- Ensure the 32mm waste pipe is cut cleanly and the end is deburred to prevent damage to the internal rubber seal.
- Slide the compression nut and the seal onto the pipe.
- Insert the pipe into the fitting body until it reaches the internal stop.
- Tighten the compression nut by hand until firm. Do not overtighten with tools as this may crack the plastic threads.
Compatibility:
This fitting is compatible with standard 32mm OD (Outer Diameter) solvent weld or push-fit waste pipes. Always verify the external diameter of your pipe before installation.
Care:
To maintain the seal, periodically check the nuts for tightness. Avoid using harsh caustic chemicals in high concentrations, which could degrade the rubber gaskets over an extended period.
