Description
PVC DWV Double Sanitary Tee w/ R & L Inlets
PVC DWV Double Sanitary Tee w/ R & L Inlets provides a multi-connection fitting for compatible PVC drain, waste, and vent piping. The double sanitary tee configuration incorporates two opposing sanitary branches along with additional right- and left-side inlets for layouts requiring several connections around a common main DWV run.
The right- and left-inlet design provides additional connection points beyond those of a standard double sanitary tee, helping consolidate a more complex drainage arrangement into one fitting location. Selection should account for the main piping, opposing sanitary branches, side-inlet locations, installation orientation, and available clearance around the complete fitting.

Double Sanitary Tee Configuration
The double sanitary tee configuration provides two opposing sanitary branch connections around a common main DWV run. This arrangement allows branch piping approaching from opposite directions to connect at the same general location while maintaining the primary drainage path through the fitting.
Combining the opposing branches into one fitting can simplify layouts where several drainage connections converge in a limited area. The fitting should be positioned according to the complete piping arrangement so both primary branches align correctly with their adjoining PVC DWV lines.
Right & Left Side Inlets
The additional right- and left-side inlets distinguish this configuration from a standard double sanitary tee. These extra connection points provide more flexibility for incorporating additional compatible DWV lines without relying on separate branch fittings immediately adjacent to the tee.
Both side-inlet locations should be identified during layout because their orientation determines how the adjoining piping approaches the fitting. Reviewing the right and left connections together helps prevent interference with nearby piping, framing, or other building components.
Multi-Connection DWV Layout
This fitting consolidates multiple DWV connections around a common fitting body, making overall system layout especially important before permanent assembly. The main run, opposing sanitary branches, and additional side inlets should all be considered when establishing the final fitting position.
Dry-positioning the adjoining piping can help confirm that each connection reaches its intended location without placing unnecessary stress on the fitting. This is particularly useful in compact installations where several branch lines must remain aligned within a limited amount of space.
Inlet Orientation & Clearance
The right- and left-inlet orientation should be matched to the actual piping layout rather than determined after the fitting has been permanently installed. Available clearance on both sides can affect whether the additional branches can be routed as intended around the surrounding construction.
Nearby walls, framing, fittings, and other piping should be reviewed before establishing the final orientation. Planning these conditions together helps keep each connection accessible during assembly while maintaining an orderly path for the adjoining DWV piping.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Identify the main piping layout.
- Confirm the right and left inlets.
- Locate both sanitary branch lines.
- Check clearance around the fitting body.
- Match the orientation to every adjoining connection.
Our PVC DWV fitting specialists can help review your main piping, opposing sanitary branches, right- and left-side inlet locations, fitting orientation, adjoining PVC connections, available clearance, and overall drain, waste, and vent layout before you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is this PVC DWV Double Sanitary Tee used for?
It combines two opposing sanitary branches and additional right- and left-side inlets around a common PVC DWV piping arrangement.
What makes this different from a standard double sanitary tee?
This configuration includes additional right- and left-side inlets beyond the opposing sanitary branch connections of a standard double sanitary tee.
How many opposing sanitary branches are provided?
The double sanitary tee configuration provides two opposing sanitary branch connections around the common main run.
What do the R & L inlets mean?
R & L identifies additional inlet connections positioned on the right and left sides of the fitting configuration.
Why is fitting orientation important?
The fitting must be positioned so the opposing branches and additional right- and left-side inlets correspond with the intended adjoining DWV piping.
Why should surrounding clearance be checked?
Several piping connections converge around the fitting, so adequate space is needed for branch routing, alignment, and installation.
Should the adjoining piping be laid out before permanent assembly?
Yes. Dry-positioning the surrounding piping helps confirm that the main run, opposing branches, and additional side inlets align with their intended locations.
What should I confirm before ordering?
Confirm the required fitting configuration, main piping, opposing branch locations, right- and left-side inlets, orientation, and available installation clearance.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Keep the main run properly aligned.
- Dry-position the complete fitting first.
- Mark each branch location before joining.
- Seat each connection evenly during assembly.
- Support adjoining branch piping independently.
