Product Information
Full details
The FloPlast Compression Waste Tee is designed for professional plumbers and dedicated DIY enthusiasts who require a reliable, aesthetic solution for connecting waste pipes in kitchen and bathroom vanity units. Its key strength lies in its versatile compatibility with various pipe materials and its decorative chrome finish, which provides a professional look in visible locations; however, it is specifically sized for 32mm systems and should not be used on larger diameter plumbing setups.

FAQs
Is this tee suitable for kitchen sinks?
Yes, it is suitable for kitchen and bathroom applications, provided the waste pipe system is the standard 32mm size.
Do I need special glue to install this?
No, this is a compression fitting. It relies on the internal seals and manual tightening of the nuts, requiring no adhesive or solvent cement.
Can I use this on copper pipe?
Yes, it is compatible with copper, ABS, PVC, and polypropylene pipes.
How do I remove the fitting once installed?
Simply unscrew the compression nuts by hand. The pipes will slide out once the pressure from the sealing ring is released.
Does it meet plumbing standards?
Yes, it is manufactured in the UK to BS EN 1451 standards.
Troubleshooting
Leakage at the connection point
Ensure the pipe is cut square and pushed fully into the fitting. Verify that the compression washer is clean and properly seated.
Nut is difficult to tighten by hand
Check the threads for any plastic swarf or debris. Ensure the pipe is aligned straight into the fitting to prevent cross-threading.

- Compatible with a wide range of pipe materials

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure the 32mm pipe end is cut square and free from burrs or sharp edges. Loosen the compression nut on the tee, slide it onto the pipe, and ensure the sealing ring is properly seated. Push the pipe into the fitting body until it bottoms out, then tighten the nut firmly by hand. Do not over-tighten with pliers, as this can crack the plastic threads.
This unit is compatible with standard 32mm ABS, PVC, copper, and polypropylene pipes. To maintain the chrome finish, clean only with a soft cloth and mild soapy water. Avoid using acidic cleaners, scouring pads, or abrasive chemicals that could strip the decorative coating.
