What is AGM upvc Double Sanitary Tee 4″ ?

 

Description

An AGM UPVC Double Sanitary Tee (4″ Sch 40) is a plumbing fitting made from un plasticized polyvinyl chloride (UPVC), a rigid, durable plastic material known for its corrosion resistance, lightweight design, and suitability for both potable water and sewerage systems. The “double sanitary tee” refers to a tee-shaped connector with two side branches (typically at 90 degrees to the main run), designed for sanitary applications like drainage and venting in residential, commercial, or industrial plumbing. This specific model is 4 inches in diameter, with a Schedule 40 wall thickness for moderate pressure handling. It’s imported from Saudi Arabia, where AGM (likely a manufacturer or brand) produces such fittings to international standards like ASTM or ISO for reliability in harsh environments. The fitting is non-toxic, smooth-bore for efficient flow, and resistant to chemical degradation, making it ideal for underground or exposed sewerage and water supply lines.

Specifications

• Material: UPVC (Un plasticized Polyvinyl Chloride), compliant with standards such as ASTM D1785 or ISO 1452 for potable water and sewerage use.
• Size: 4″ (nominal diameter, actual OD approximately 4.5″ for Sch 40).
• Schedule: Sch 40 (wall thickness of about 0.237 inches, providing a pressure rating up to 150-200 PSI at room temperature, depending on standards).
• Dimensions:
  • Main run length: Typically 6-8 inches (varies by manufacturer).
  • Branch lengths: 4-6 inches each.
  • Overall weight: Lightweight, around 1-2 lbs per piece.
• Pressure and Temperature Rating: Suitable for cold water up to 60°C (140°F) and sewerage applications; not recommended for hot water above 60°C.
• Standards and Certifications: Often meets Saudi Arabian Standards Organization (SASO) or equivalent, plus international approvals like NSF/ANSI 61 for potable water contact. Imported units may include markings for traceability.
• Color: Usually white or gray for visibility in installations.
• Additional Features: Solvent-welded joints for leak-proof connections; resistant to scaling, rust, and most acids/bases in sewerage.

Installation

Installation of an AGM UPVC Double Sanitary Tee requires basic plumbing tools and should follow local building codes (e.g., UPC or IPC in the US, or equivalent in Saudi Arabia). Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Preparation: Ensure the pipe ends are clean, dry, and cut square. Use a UPVC pipe cutter for precise cuts. Deburr the edges to prevent leaks.

2. Priming: Apply a UPVC primer to the pipe ends and fitting sockets. This softens the surface for better adhesion.

3. Cementing: Apply UPVC solvent cement evenly to the primed areas. Insert the pipe into the tee’s sockets, twisting slightly (about 1/4 turn) for full engagement. Hold for 30-60 seconds to set.

4. Alignment: Position the tee so the main run aligns with the pipeline, and branches connect to fixtures (e.g., toilets or vents). Use supports to prevent sagging in horizontal runs.

5. Curing: Allow 24 hours for the cement to cure fully before pressurizing or testing. Pressure-test the system with water to check for leaks.

6. Safety Notes: Work in a well-ventilated area (solvent fumes are flammable). Wear gloves and eye protection. For underground installations, bury in gravel beds for drainage and protection.

Tools needed: Pipe cutter, deburring tool, primer, solvent cement, measuring tape, and clamps.

Usage

This fitting is primarily used in sewerage and water supply systems for branching connections:

• Sewerage: Connects main drain lines to toilet bowls, sinks, or vents in gravity-fed systems, allowing waste to flow while preventing backflow or odors via venting.
• Water Supply: Suitable for cold water distribution in non-pressurized or low-pressure lines, such as irrigation or secondary supply branches.
• Applications: Common in residential plumbing (e.g., bathroom layouts), commercial buildings, and industrial setups. It’s not for high-pressure steam or hot water systems. Expected lifespan: 50+ years with proper installation, due to UPVC’s resistance to corrosion and biofouling in sewerage environments.
• Advantages: Easier to install than metal fittings, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly (recyclable). Avoid use in direct sunlight exposure without UV protection, as UPVC can degrade over time.
