3 inch PVC Schedule 40 2-Way Cleanout Tee – Optimized for Service Access and Flow Control

The 3 inch PVC Schedule 40 2-Way Cleanout Tee is designed to provide direct access to horizontal DWV (Drain-Waste-Vent) lines, supporting routine maintenance, inspection, and blockage removal. Featuring two opposing cleanout openings, this fitting enables bi-directional access, minimizing disassembly and downtime during service work.

Manufactured from high-strength polyvinyl chloride, the fitting is resistant to corrosion, scaling, and chemical exposure commonly found in wastewater applications. Its smooth interior wall promotes efficient flow and reduces accumulation within the drainage system.

Professional-Grade Performance

• ✅ Schedule 40 Construction Built to ASTM standards for use in non-pressurized DWV systems.
• ✅ Dual Cleanout Access Allows bi-directional service entry without the need for pipe removal.
• ✅ Solvent Weld Socket Ends Ensures secure, permanent connections using primer and PVC cement.
• ✅ Uniform Molded Geometry Maintains consistent pipe alignment and installation accuracy.
• ✅ Code Compliant Designed in accordance with UPC and IPC requirements for cleanout access fittings.

Typical Use Cases

This fitting is commonly installed in horizontal drainage branches near pipe runs that exceed the maximum allowable distances between cleanouts. It is also used in basement or crawl space piping to allow service entry in both directions where obstructions may occur.

Code Relevance

Cleanouts are required by plumbing codes at specified intervals and junction points within drainage systems. A properly placed 2-way cleanout tee helps meet those requirements and facilitates future maintenance with minimal disruption.

Installation Guidelines

Install using solvent weld techniques: apply approved PVC primer and cement to both the fitting socket and pipe end. Ensure full insertion and alignment before setting. Installation should follow local code specifications, including spacing and orientation relative to cleanout access points. Always verify that caps or plugs are approved for sealing the cleanout ports.

Summary

The 3 inch PVC 2-Way Cleanout Tee is a key component in any well-designed DWV system. It simplifies ongoing system access while maintaining flow capacity and structural reliability. Professionals rely on this fitting to reduce maintenance costs and ensure compliance across a variety of drainage configurations.
