1-1/2 inch PVC Cleanout Tee – Solvent Weld Fitting for Sanitary DWV Systems

The 1-1/2 inch PVC Cleanout Tee is designed for use in non-pressurized sanitary drainage, waste, and vent systems. This fitting provides an access point within the piping network for inspection, rodding, or cleanout purposes. It features a standard tee configuration with an outlet designed to accept a threaded cleanout plug.

Manufactured in accordance with ASTM D2665 and CSA B181.2 standards, this fitting is molded from rigid polyvinyl chloride for long-term durability in gravity-fed systems. It is compatible with Schedule 40 DWV pipe and fittings, and it supports solvent cement installation for permanent, code-compliant joint integrity.

Performance and Application Characteristics

• ✅ Material: Rigid PVC conforming to Type I Grade I per ASTM D1784 for chemical resistance and structural reliability.
• ✅ Configuration: Sanitary tee with a cleanout branch for threaded plug insertion (plug not included).
• ✅ Joint Type: All sockets are slip-type (solvent weld) for fusion with compatible DWV piping.
• ✅ Operating Conditions: Intended for gravity drainage and venting only – not suitable for pressurized applications.
• ✅ Service Use: Provides rodding access in horizontal and vertical pipe runs where cleanout access is required by code.

Installation Considerations

All mating surfaces must be properly prepared using PVC primer and solvent cement. Pipe and fittings should be fully inserted and held until initial set is achieved. Installation must comply with applicable plumbing code and industry best practices for DWV systems. This fitting is typically installed by licensed professionals familiar with cleanout placement and access requirements.

Typical Use Cases

Frequently used in residential and light commercial sanitary drainage systems, the cleanout tee is installed in locations where routine maintenance, blockage removal, or system inspection may be required. Common placements include crawlspaces, behind access panels, or at system base elevations for stack cleanouts.

Code & Compliance Note

This fitting meets applicable requirements for use in lead-free and solvent-weld PVC drainage systems as defined by IPC, UPC, and other local code authorities. Cleanouts are typically required within specific distances of fixture traps or directional changes, making this tee an essential component in compliant DWV system design.
