Flush Cleanout Access
The flush cleanout configuration creates a dedicated access point within a PVC DWV piping system. This provides a convenient location for inspection, cleaning, and clearing obstructions without requiring an installed section of piping to be cut apart.
The cleanout should be positioned so the threaded opening remains accessible after the surrounding piping and building components are installed.
Hub x Hub Main Run
The two hub connections form the main run of the fitting and are designed to receive compatible PVC DWV pipe. These connections are assembled using the appropriate PVC solvent-welding procedure.
Confirm the fitting size and mating pipe dimensions before installation and properly prepare all solvent-weld joining surfaces before assembly.
Female Threaded Cleanout Connection
The cleanout branch uses a Female Pipe Thread (FPT) connection, providing a threaded access point for the appropriate mating cleanout component.
Verify the thread size and mating component before installation. Threaded components should be installed carefully to avoid cross-threading or excessive tightening that could damage the PVC fitting.
PVC DWV Applications
This flush cleanout tee is intended for PVC drain, waste, and vent piping systems where an accessible maintenance point is required. It can be incorporated into the DWV layout while maintaining solvent-welded connections along the main piping run.
Installation location and cleanout accessibility should be selected according to the piping layout and applicable plumbing requirements.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the required size.
- Keep the cleanout accessible.
- Verify the H x H x FPT configuration.
- Use proper PVC solvent-welding procedures.
- Follow applicable DWV cleanout installation requirements.
Our PVC DWV fitting specialists can help review your pipe size, hub connections, female threaded cleanout connection, installation location, drainage application, and overall DWV system requirements before you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a PVC DWV flush cleanout tee used for?
It provides an accessible service point within PVC drain, waste, and vent piping for inspection, cleaning, and clearing obstructions.
What does H x H x FPT mean?
It means Hub x Hub x Female Pipe Thread. The two hub connections form the main piping run while the female threaded connection provides cleanout access.
What type of system is this fitting designed for?
This fitting is designed for compatible PVC drain, waste, and vent piping applications.
How are the hub connections installed?
The hub connections receive compatible PVC pipe and are assembled using the appropriate PVC solvent-welding procedure.
What is the FPT connection used for?
The Female Pipe Thread connection provides the threaded cleanout access point for the appropriate mating component.
Why should the cleanout remain accessible?
The cleanout is intended for future inspection and maintenance, so sufficient access should remain available after the piping system is installed.
Can this fitting be used in pressure piping?
This fitting is intended for DWV service. For pressure piping, select a fitting specifically designed and rated for the required pressure application.
What should I confirm before ordering?
Confirm the fitting size, H x H x FPT connection configuration, PVC DWV application, cleanout location, and mating threaded component before ordering.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Confirm the fitting size.
- Keep the cleanout accessible.
- Verify the H x H x FPT configuration.
- Avoid overtightening threaded PVC components.
- Install according to applicable DWV plumbing requirements.
