Description
ABS DWV Test Tee (HUB x HUB x FIPT)
ABS DWV Test Tees provide a convenient threaded access point for testing, cleaning, inspection, and maintenance in non-pressure drain, waste, vent, sewer, and general drainage systems.
Featuring two hub connections in the main run and a Female Iron Pipe Thread (FIPT) branch, this fitting allows compatible ABS DWV pipe to continue through the tee while providing a threaded opening for a cleanout or test plug. Manufactured for ABS DWV service, it meets recognized standards including ASTM D2661, CSA B181.1, and NSF Standard 14.

Connection Configuration
Main Run Hubs
The two hub connections accept compatible ABS DWV pipe, allowing the drainage line to continue through the fitting with solvent-cement joints.
FIPT Branch
The female-threaded branch provides an access opening for a compatible male-threaded cleanout plug, test plug, or other approved threaded component.
Test Tee Design
The test tee combines a straight-through drainage connection with a threaded branch opening that can be accessed without cutting into the piping system.
This makes it useful where periodic cleaning, inspection, or temporary test access may be required.
The threaded branch can be closed with a compatible plug after use, helping maintain a sealed non-pressure drainage system while preserving future access.

Installation
Verify the nominal sizes of both hub connections and the FIPT branch before installation.
Cut the ABS pipe ends square and remove burrs. Clean and prepare the pipe and hub surfaces according to accepted ABS solvent-cement installation procedures.
Dry-fit the test tee first to confirm its orientation and make sure the threaded branch will remain accessible after installation.
Apply compatible ABS solvent cement as required and fully seat the main-run pipe into both hub connections while maintaining proper alignment.
Install the compatible threaded plug or cleanout component into the FIPT branch using only sealing materials confirmed compatible with ABS.
Allow completed solvent-cement joints to cure according to the solvent cement manufacturer's recommendations before placing the drainage system into service.
Our piping specialists can help review your pipe size, threaded branch size, cleanout requirements, and ABS DWV compatibility before you order.

What is an ABS DWV test tee used for?
It provides a threaded access point in an ABS DWV system for cleaning, inspection, maintenance, or compatible testing procedures.
What does HUB x HUB x FIPT mean?
It means the fitting has two hub connections for the main pipe run and one Female Iron Pipe Thread branch connection.
What connects to the FIPT branch?
The FIPT branch accepts a compatible male-threaded cleanout plug, test plug, or other approved threaded component.
Can this fitting be used as a cleanout access point?
Yes. Its threaded branch is designed to provide convenient access for cleaning and maintenance.
Does this fitting require solvent cement?
The two hub connections are intended for compatible ABS solvent-cement installation. The branch connection is threaded.
Is this fitting intended for pressure piping?
No. This fitting is intended for non-pressure drain, waste, vent, sewer, and general drainage systems.
Can it be used for compressed air or gas?
No. The supplied product information states that ABS DWV fittings are not intended for transporting compressed air or gas.
Can this fitting be used for pressure testing?
This fitting is intended for non-pressure DWV service. Any testing should follow the fitting manufacturer's instructions and applicable plumbing codes rather than using it as a pressure-system component.
What is the maximum operating temperature?
The supplied product information specifies applications where operating temperatures do not exceed 140°F.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm the two hub sizes, FIPT branch size, intended cleanout or test plug, required access orientation, and non-pressure ABS DWV application.
