FAQs

What is a swept tee fitting used for?

A swept tee fitting is used to connect a smaller pipe to a larger pipe at an angle, allowing for a branch in the plumbing line. The 'swept' design ensures a smoother flow and reduces the likelihood of blockages compared to a sharp angle.

Can I use this fitting for gas lines?

No, this fitting is designed for water and waste systems only and is not suitable for gas installations.

Do I need any special tools to install this?

No, the push-fit design is tool-free. You may need a pipe cutter to ensure a clean, square end, and a release tool for removal, though often twisting and pulling works.

What is the temperature range for this fitting?

While primarily for waste, it can handle typical domestic hot and cold water temperatures. Consult the manufacturer's specifications for precise limits, but generally suitable for up to 60°C continuous.

How do I ensure a watertight seal?

Ensure the pipe is cut squarely, the end is clean and free of burrs, and the pipe is pushed fully into the fitting until it stops. The internal mechanism creates the seal.

Can I reuse this fitting?

Yes, push-fit fittings can be removed and reused. Ensure the O-ring seal inside the fitting is clean and undamaged before reinstallation.

Troubleshooting

Fitting leaks after installation.

Ensure the pipe end was clean, cut square, and inserted fully. Check for any debris inside the fitting. If the issue persists, remove and reinsert the pipe, ensuring it's fully seated.

Pipe does not push in easily.

Check that the pipe end is properly chamfered (slight bevel) and free of obstructions. Ensure you are using the correct pipe diameter for the fitting.

Fitting is difficult to remove.

Use the specific pipe release tool (if available) or gently twist and pull while applying steady pressure. Ensure the release collar is fully depressed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  2. Mark the insertion depth on the pipe using the depth gauge (if provided) or manufacturer's guidelines.
  3. Push the pipe firmly and squarely into the tee fitting until it reaches the depth mark.
  4. The fitting will engage automatically, creating a secure seal.

Compatibility:

  • This fitting is designed for use with standard 32mm (1.25 inch) diameter pipes. Confirm your pipe's outer diameter matches the 32mm specification.
