What is AGM upvc Sanitary Tee 4″ ?
Description
The AGM UPVC Sanitary Tee 4″ Schedule 40 is a high-quality plumbing fitting manufactured by Arabian Gulf Manufacturers Ltd (AGM Pipes), based in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. It is part of AGM’s comprehensive range of un plasticized polyvinyl chloride (UPVC) pipes and fittings, designed for reliable performance in demanding applications. This sanitary tee is specifically engineered as a molded, solvent-weld fitting that allows for the connection of a branch line (typically horizontal) into a main vertical drain or sewer pipe at a 90-degree angle. It features a smooth interior for optimal flow, corrosion resistance, and lightweight construction, making it ideal for modern building projects. The product is produced using advanced manufacturing technologies and world-class materials, ensuring durability and compliance with international standards. As an imported item from Saudi Arabia, it is widely distributed to markets like Pakistan and other regions for construction and infrastructure needs.
Specifications
The following table summarizes the key specifications for the AGM UPVC Sanitary Tee 4″ Schedule 40, based on AGM’s adherence to ASTM standards and typical dimensions for this size:
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Material | Un plasticized Polyvinyl Chloride (UPVC) |
| Nominal Size | 4 inches (hub x hub x hub configuration: 4″ main run x 4″ branch) |
| Schedule Rating | Schedule 40 (medium wall thickness for pressure and non-pressure use) |
| Outside Diameter (OD) | 114.30 mm (±0.23 mm tolerance) |
| Wall Thickness | 6.02 mm (minimum, +0.71 mm tolerance) |
| Standards | – ASTM D2466 (for Schedule 40 PVC socket-type fittings) – ASTM D1785 (for PVC pipe, Schedule 40) – ASTM D2665 (for DWV fittings, applicable to sanitary tees) – Compliant with SASO (Saudi Arabian Standards Organization) for quality and testing |
| Color | White (standard for Schedule 40 UPVC) |
| Operating Temperature | Maximum 60°C (140°F) |
| Pressure Rating | Up to 180 PSI at 73°F (23°C) for pressure applications; suitable for non-pressure DWV systems |
| Connection Type | Hub (solvent weld socket ends for seamless jointing) |
| Weight (Approximate) | 0.45–0.55 kg per unit |
| Manufacturing Origin | Saudi Arabia (AGM Pipes, Jeddah) |
These specs ensure the fitting can handle typical loads in sewerage and water systems without deformation or leakage.
Installation
Installation of the AGM UPVC Sanitary Tee 4″ Schedule 40 is straightforward, leveraging solvent cement welding for a permanent, leak-proof bond. Follow these steps for proper setup:
- Preparation:
- Cut pipes to required lengths using a square-cut saw or PVC cutter. Ensure ends are clean, dry, and free of burrs or debris.
- Dry-fit all components to verify alignment and measurements. The tee should connect a 4″ main vertical pipe (e.g., stack) with a 4″ branch line.
- Solvent Cement Application:
- Use a primer (e.g., purple primer) on the outside of the pipe end and inside of the hub sockets to clean and soften the surfaces.
- Apply PVC solvent cement (compatible with UPVC) evenly using a dauber. Work quickly, as the cement sets in 15–30 seconds.
- Assembly:
- Insert the pipe into the hub socket with a quarter-turn twist to distribute the cement evenly. Hold for 30 seconds to set.
- For the branch, align it perpendicular to the main run to maintain straight flow.
- Support the assembly per local codes (e.g., every 4 feet horizontally, 10 feet vertically) using straps or hangers to prevent sagging.
- Curing and Testing:
- Allow 24 hours for full cure before pressurizing or loading.
- Test the system with water or air at 5–10 PSI to check for leaks.
Always wear gloves and eye protection. Consult local plumbing codes (e.g., IPC or equivalent) and AGM’s guidelines for site-specific adjustments. AGM fittings are designed for easy handling, reducing labor time compared to metal alternatives.
Usage
This sanitary tee is versatile for both sewerage and water supply systems, offering long-term reliability in non-potable and low-pressure environments:
- Sewerage and Drainage (Primary Use):
- Ideal for drain, waste, and vent (DWV) systems in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.
- Connects branch drains (e.g., from sinks, toilets, or floor drains) to the main vertical soil stack, facilitating gravity-fed wastewater flow.
- Suitable for buried or above-ground sewer lines, soil pipes, and ventilation stacks. Its chemical resistance handles effluents, acids, bases, and salts without corrosion.
- Water Supply (Secondary Use):
- For cold potable or non-potable water distribution in irrigation, dewatering, or low-pressure supply lines (up to Schedule 40 rating).
- Not recommended for hot water (exceeds 60°C) or high-pressure mains; pair with AGM UPVC pipes for complete systems.
