Solvent Weld Waste 40Mm 135Deg Y Branch - Black

Solvent Weld Waste 40Mm 135Deg Y Branch - Black

The 40mm Black Solvent Weld 135° Y-Branch (commonly referred to as a 45-degree Equal Tee) is a specialized junction fitting designed to merge two 40mm waste lines into a single discharge run. The 45-degree entry angle is the preferred choice for professional installers as it promotes superior flow dynamics, significantly reducing the turbulence and "back-fill" issues often associated with standard 90-degree tees.

This fitting is essential for maintaining high flow velocity in primary waste systems, making it the industry standard for combining discharge from high-volume sources like kitchen sinks, washing machines, and dishwashers.

Key Features and Specifications

Size: 40mm diameter on all three apertures (Equal Branch).

Angle: 135° (45-degree branch entry) for smooth-entry, high-velocity drainage.

Material: High-impact PVC-u, engineered to withstand domestic detergents and sustained high water temperatures.

Jointing Method: Solvent Weld (requires solvent cement to create a permanent, molecularly fused leak-proof joint).

UV Stabilized: The black finish is formulated to resist ultraviolet degradation, preventing brittleness when used in external waste stacks or runs.

Finish: Gloss Black, matching modern black soil and rainwater systems and architectural exteriors.

Common Applications

Kitchen Waste Manifolds: Merging a kitchen sink waste with a washing machine or dishwasher discharge line into a single 40mm pipe.

Bathroom Drainage: Combining the waste runs from a bath and a shower into a main branch before it enters the soil stack.

Commercial Installations: Ideal for creating efficient drainage networks in multi-unit residential or commercial prep areas where high flow is critical.
