2 inch ABS DWV Sanitary Tee – For Reliable Drainage Transitions

The 2 inch ABS DWV Sanitary Tee is manufactured for use in non-pressurized drain, waste, and vent piping systems. This fitting enables a perpendicular branch connection to a vertical drain line, allowing smooth directional flow with minimal resistance or risk of blockages. Molded from black ABS thermoplastic, it offers reliable structural integrity and corrosion resistance in residential and light commercial installations.

Application and Function

This tee fitting is designed for horizontal branch connections into vertical DWV stacks. Its configuration promotes proper venting and drainage in compliance with standard plumbing code requirements. The hub x hub x hub connection style allows integration with solvent-welded ABS piping for a secure, leak-resistant system.

Key Features

• Material: Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)
• Size: 2-inch nominal
• Ends: Hub x Hub x Hub
• Compliance: Conforms to ASTM D2665 and CSA B181.1 standards for DWV fittings
• Configuration: 90° branch for sanitary drainage applications

Performance Benefits

• Corrosion Resistance: Unaffected by soil chemicals, household chemicals, or water-based waste
• High Impact Strength: Maintains dimensional integrity during handling and installation
• Lightweight Design: Facilitates faster assembly in above-grade or in-wall piping systems
• Code Compatibility: Suitable for use in DWV systems per UPC and IPC plumbing codes

Installation Guidelines

Use ABS solvent cement to join this sanitary tee to ABS DWV pipe. Dry-fit all components before applying adhesive to ensure alignment. Avoid use in pressurized systems. Observe local code requirements regarding sanitary tee orientation—horizontal branches into vertical stacks must maintain proper flow direction to avoid siphoning or gurgling in adjacent fixtures.

Typical Use Cases

Installed in gravity-fed drainage and vent systems, this fitting is ideal for lavatory, kitchen sink, shower, or tub drain connections. Also frequently used in fixture arm assemblies and vertical stack configurations where branch inlets are required.

Did You Know?

Unlike PVC, ABS does not require primer before cementing, reducing installation time while maintaining strong bond strength. Its consistent material density and impact resistance make it a preferred choice for above-ground DWV systems.

For applications requiring dependable performance in non-pressurized waste lines, the 2 inch ABS DWV Sanitary Tee delivers code-compliant functionality and installation efficiency demanded by professionals.
