Brass Sanitary Tee

Product Description

A Brass Sanitary Tee is a T-shaped pipe fitting used to join three pipes, featuring a specialized swept curve (oblique) design. Unlike a standard "Straight Tee" used for high-pressure water lines, the sanitary tee is specifically engineered for drainage and waste systems to facilitate the smooth flow of liquids and solids while preventing clogs.

Key Features

• Directional Flow: The curved branch (the "sweep") is designed to direct waste in the direction of the flow, minimizing turbulence and buildup within the junction.

• Corrosion & Scale Resistance: The brass construction is highly resistant to the corrosive nature of wastewater and household chemicals, offering a longer lifespan than galvanized steel.

• Venting Compatibility: Essential for use in DWV (Drain, Waste, and Vent) systems to maintain proper atmospheric pressure within the pipes.

• Precision Threads: Machined with high-accuracy BSP or NPT threads to ensure a permanent, leak-proof connection to rigid piping.

• Primary Applications

  • Residential Plumbing: Connecting horizontal branch lines (like a sink or basin drain) to a vertical soil or waste stack.

  • Commercial Kitchens: Used in drainage lines where greasy or high-temperature water requires a durable, non-corrosive metal fitting.

  • Vent Systems: Connecting vent pipes to the drainage stack to prevent siphonage of traps.

  • Laboratory Drainage: Handling specialized waste where plastic fittings may not meet fire or chemical resistance codes.
