1. Description & Overview

The AGM Tee is a T-shaped fitting used to branch a single pipeline into two separate directions.⁴ Made from Un plasticized Polyvinyl Chloride (uPVC), it is rigid and does not contain plasticizers, ensuring it remains strong and chemical-resistant over time.

• Origin: Saudi Arabia (Riyadh).

• Brand: AGM (Arabian Gulf Manufacturers).

• Material: High-grade uPVC (using SABIC raw materials).

• Appearance: Typically White (Standard for Schedule 40).

3. Usage & Applications

This fitting is dual-rated, meaning it is certified for two primary types of systems:

1. Potable Water Supply: Suitable for cold water distribution in buildings and irrigation systems due to its high pressure tolerance.

2. Sewerage & Drainage (DWV): Used in “Drain, Waste, and Vent” (DWV) systems. Its smooth inner surface prevents clogs and resists corrosive sewage gases.

3. Industrial/Chemical: Resistant to a wide range of acids, bases, and salts, making it useful in industrial fluid transport.

4. Installation Steps

AGM fittings use a solvent welding process, which molecularly fuses the pipe and fitting together for a leak-proof bond.

1. Cutting: Cut the 4″ uPVC pipe squarely. Use a deburring tool to remove all burrs from the inside and outside edges.

2. Cleaning: Clean the socket of the Tee and the end of the pipe with a clean, dry rag.

3. Priming: Apply a uPVC Primer to the outside of the pipe and the inside of the Tee socket.¹⁴ This softens the material for a better bond.

4. Cementing: Apply a liberal coat of uPVC Solvent Cement to the pipe and a thin layer to the Tee socket.

5. Joining: Quickly push the pipe into the Tee until it bottoms out. Give it a quarter turn as you push to ensure even cement distribution.

6. Curing: Hold for 30 seconds. Allow at least 15–30 minutes for handling and 24 hours before full pressure testing.

5. Key Advantages

• Corrosion Resistance: Unlike metal, it will never rust or scale, even when buried in aggressive soils.¹⁵

• Low Friction: The smooth interior allows for higher flow rates and less pumping energy.¹⁶

• Durability: Designed for a service life of 50+ years when installed correctly.

• Compliance: Meets SASO (Saudi Standards) and ASTM requirements.
