PVC Cleanout Tee with Plug

This Schedule 40 PVC fitting provides a cleanout access point in residential drain, waste and vent systems. The hub-by-hub-by-FNPT configuration accepts 1-1/2 inch pipe on all three connections for straightforward solvent-weld or threaded installation.

Capacity and headroom

Rated for gravity flow only, the tee handles normal sanitary drainage without pressure. The material is rated from -20 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit, so it suits standard indoor plumbing but is not intended for pressurised lines or high-temperature discharge.

Deciding specification

The FNPT threaded outlet on the branch accepts a standard cleanout plug for code-compliant access. If the system requires a solvent-weld branch or a different pipe diameter, this tee will not match the design.

Questions about this item

Will the 1-1/2 in hub connections fit my existing Schedule 40 PVC pipe?

Yes, both hub ends are sized for 1-1/2 in Schedule 40 PVC pipe with a 2 3/16 in socket depth.

How can I verify the cleanout plug seals properly after installation?

Run water through the system and check the 1-1/2 in FNPT plug for leaks; the plug threads into the female NPT opening for access.

Does the package include the cleanout plug or only the tee body?

The 05997 tee comes with the plug included; no separate purchase is needed for the cleanout assembly.
