DWV Tees

DWV tees are specialized PVC pipe fittings used to make three way branches in drain, waste, and vent (DWV) systems. They have a T-shape design that allows the fitting to simultaneously connect and join three individual sections of piping. DWV tees, also known as sanitary tees, are primarily used to merge or split the line of flow within DWV plumbing networks to create or connect lateral lines for handling drainage, conveying wastewater, or venting air, gasses, and fumes. DWV tees work by providing a smooth junction at a 90 degree angle with secure connections that maintain continuous flow. The design minimizes blockages and the potential for backflow, ensuring proper handling or ventilation of waste products.

DWV tee fittings serve a vital function in routing and distributing waste products from buildings and equipment. Their engineering, available configurations and options allow system designers and installers to navigate the spatial challenges posed by structures, worksite equipment, and processes. DWV tee fittings are available in a complete range of types including sanitary tees, reducing and street tees, double tees, left hand (LH) tees and right hand (RH) tees, 2 inlet tees, vent tee hubs, and cleanout tees designed for maintenance access.

Our DWV tees provide a cost effective, durable, and easy-to-install solution for designing and installing onsite DWV networks. Available in a full selection, the correct choice and use of DWV tees will ensure effective operation, prevent leaks, maintain pressure, and handle exhausts in ventilation systems.

• DWV Sanitary Tees: Sizes range from 1-1/2" to 8” in diameter with all hub connections. Used to complete horizontal and vertical drain or vent connections.
• DWV Reducing Sanitary Tees: Sizes range from 2" x 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" to 6” x 6” x 4” in diameter with hub x hub x spigot connections. Used to connect DWV pipe of different sizes.
• DWV Double Tees: Sizes range from 1-1/2" to 4” in diameter and 3” x 1-1/2" to 4” x 3” with all hub connections. Used to combine three lines or five lines into one with 2 inlet double tees.
• DWV LH Tees: Sizes range from 3” x 1-1/2" to 4” x 2” with all hub connections. Used for left-handed input configurations in tight junctions.
• DWV RH Tees: Sizes range from 3” x 1-1/2" to 4” x 2” with all hub connections. Used for right-handed input configurations in tight junctions.
• DWV 2 Inlet Tees:  Sizes range from 3” x 1-1/2" to 4” x 2” with all hub connections. Used for dual-sided left-right input configurations and multi-line junctions.
• DWV Vent Tee Hubs: Sizes range from 1-1/2" to 8” in diameter with all hub connections. Sharp angled, compact design used for joining vent lines. 
• DWV Cleanout Tees: Sizes range from 1-1/2" to 6” in diameter with hub x female pipe thread (FPT) connections. Used to provide an access point for maintenance, cleaning, and flushing.

Our DWV tees are constructed from high quality PVC and built to withstand the demanding conditions of DWV uses, provide smooth flow, easy installation, and versatility to match different project needs.

• PVC Material: Made from superior PVC material for corrosion resistance, chemical stability, lightweight, long term durability, affordability, and minimal maintenance. 
• Hard Working: Engineered to reliably withstand the harsh conditions of DWV systems.
• Smooth Flow: Smooth interior walls minimize friction to maintain flow conditions.
• Versatile Options: Comprehensive selection of DWV tee types ensures project compatibility. 
• Sizes: Available in a range of sizes and reducing sizes from 1-1/2” to 8” in diameter.
• Connections: DWV tees come in spigot by hub, all hub, and hub by thread connection options.

Made in the USA from ASTM D1784 Cell Class 12454 PVC material, our DWV tees adhere to ASTM D2665, ASTM D3311, and NSF 14 standards for DWV applications. These standards ensure DWV fittings are consistently high in quality, reliable, and durable. Engineered, tested, and certified to comply with local building and plumbing codes, our DWV tees meet the rigorous regulations and requirements necessary for public and environmental health.

The PVC material used in DWV pipe tees is a robust thermoplastic known for its durability and long lifespan. DWV PVC withstands environmental factors such as corrosion, adverse weather conditions, and underground soil chemistry. PVC has reliable resistance to a wide array of substances, including acids, alkalis, oils, inorganic chemicals, as well as sewage and sewer gasses. DWV tee fittings are non flammable, have excellent electrical insulation, minimal thermal absorption, and smooth interior walls that resist scaling and buildup. DWF tees are designed to operate within a temperature range from 32°F (0°C), when used in water-based systems, up to 140°F (60°C).

DWV tees are installed and used across residential and commercial plumbing landscapes to manage the flow of water, waste liquids, and solids away from everyday fixtures such as toilets, sinks, showers, and drains toward city sewers or septic systems. In agriculture and industrial applications, DWV tees are used for their chemical resistance and ability to handle waste materials that may contain chemicals, by-products, or corrosive fluids. DWV tees are also used in venting applications to safely direct gasses, fumes, vapors, and exhausts created from sewer systems or generated by on-site activities.

Our DWV tees are a leading choice in quality and performance. They are Uniform Plumbing Code certified and comply with all industry standards for DWV systems. The fittings are precision engineered to meet the hard working demands of drain, waste, and vent plumbing systems. By adhering to high standards and using premium materials, our products are built not only to meet but exceed expectations. For more information or details on contractor pricing, contact us.
