Achieve a professional, three-way junction in your drainage system with our Solvent Weld Equal Tee Black 40mm. Designed for permanent chemical bonding, this high-impact ABS junction features a 92.5° angle to ensure the correct gravity-fed “fall,” preventing standing water and blockages in your pipework.
92.5° Precision Angle: Provides a built-in 2.5-degree slope, essential for efficient wastewater flow and siphoning protection.
Triple Solvent Sockets: Allows for a seamless, three-way connection of 40mm waste pipes using solvent cement for a unified, one-piece joint.
Heavy-Duty ABS: Manufactured from heat-stable, UV-resistant black plastic to handle discharge from washing machines and dishwashers.
£1.00 Incl. VAT
A solvent weld equal tee (often referred to as a sanitary tee or T-junction) is a specialized fitting used to merge two separate 40mm waste lines into a single discharge pipe. It is most commonly used in kitchen and utility room installations where a sink and an appliance (like a dishwasher) share the same exit route to the external soil stack. The “equal” designation confirms that all three openings are a standard 40mm diameter.
At ECO HEAT SHOP, we recommend the black solvent weld tee for high-traffic drainage systems. Unlike push-fit junctions that rely on rubber seals—which can be compromised by grease buildup or thermal movement—a solvent-welded junction creates a permanent chemical bond. Once the solvent cement is applied, the fitting and the pipes fuse into a single solid unit, ensuring a 100% airtight and watertight seal that will never slip or perish.
Our 40mm equal tees are manufactured from high-grade ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene). This material is the preferred choice for UK trade professionals because it is exceptionally rigid, impact-resistant, and capable of handling intermittent boiling water (up to 90°C) without sagging. The 92.5-degree angle is a critical technical feature, providing the mandatory 2.5-degree pitch required by UK building regulations to prevent stagnant water and foul odors.
Angle: 92.5 Degrees (87.5° offset for gravity fall).
Size: 40mm (All three sockets).
Connection Type: Solvent Weld (Triple Female Socket).
Material: UV-Stabilized, High-Impact ABS.
Standards: Fully compliant with BS EN 1451-1 and BS 5255.
Application: Ideal for kitchen sinks, washing machine standpipes, and multi-unit bathroom waste.
