4-Inch ABS DWV 2-Way Cleanout Tee – Built for Access and Long-Term Performance

The 4-Inch ABS DWV 2-Way Cleanout Tee is engineered for efficient access in drainage systems, enabling direct rodding and inspection from either direction of the pipeline. This fitting is commonly used in building drainage, waste, and vent (DWV) systems where cleanout access is mandated by code or required for maintenance efficiency.

Key Features and Benefits

• Material: High-strength ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) for excellent impact resistance and dimensional stability
• Dual-Access Configuration: Threaded cleanout openings on both branches allow for bidirectional rodding or camera inspection
• Connection Ends: Hub x Hub x Hub with female-threaded outlets
• Size: 4-inch nominal diameter
• Compliance: Meets ASTM D2661 and CSA B181.1 specifications for ABS DWV fittings

Professional Applications

• Cleanout Integration: Installed in horizontal drain runs where intermediate or terminal cleanout access is required per IPC/UPC
• Code Fulfillment: Facilitates compliance with plumbing codes that require accessible cleanouts at designated intervals or changes in direction
• Time-Saving Maintenance: Allows for mechanical cleaning without dismantling pipe sections

Installation Guidelines

Solvent-weld connections should be made using an ABS-specific cement conforming to ASTM D2235. Ensure pipe ends are properly deburred and dry-fitted before applying solvent. Threaded cleanout ports should be capped with listed ABS plugs and sealed according to manufacturer torque specifications. Not suitable for use in pressurized systems or with compressed air.

Where It’s Used

Typically installed in low-slope building drains, basements, and service-accessible wall cavities. The 4-inch size is standard in main building drains, especially in systems serving multiple fixtures or branch lines requiring frequent inspection points.

Did You Know?

Per most plumbing codes, a cleanout must be installed at the base of each soil or waste stack, and at intervals no greater than 100 feet in straight runs. This tee is a compliant solution that meets these requirements while improving serviceability.

Summary

Whether you're specifying a new DWV system or retrofitting an older one, the 4-Inch ABS DWV 2-Way Cleanout Tee is a dependable solution that simplifies maintenance, meets code, and protects long-term system performance.
