Equal Tee 45° F / F / F PVC Solvent Weld

Equal Tee 45° F / F / F PVC Solvent Weld (Reference: 5834) by Codital represents a leading technical solution for all your hydraulic connection needs. This 45-degree angled fitting with three female sockets offers an optimal alternative to traditional straight fittings, enabling smooth and efficient distribution in your piping networks. Made from PVC PN16 and compliant with the European standard EN 1452, it guarantees perfect compatibility with modern hydraulic industry standards.

Applications and fields of use

The Codital Equal Tee 45° finds its place in a multitude of professional and domestic applications. In drinking water supply, it enables clean and durable branch connections while meeting the strictest sanitary standards. Agricultural irrigation professionals appreciate it for its ability to optimise water distribution in complex networks, reducing head losses while maintaining optimal flow rates.

In swimming pool networks, this 45° fitting facilitates the integration of equipment such as skimmers, return jets and vacuum points, while preserving the aesthetics of the installation. The chemical and food industries also benefit from its chemical resistance properties and ease of cleaning, which are essential in these demanding sectors.

Technical characteristics and materials

The PVC PN16 used in the manufacture of this tee offers remarkable pressure resistance, supporting up to 16 bar in continuous service. This PN16 classification makes it a preferred choice for standard domestic and industrial installations. The F / F / F configuration (three female sockets) allows male pipes or fittings to be received, offering great assembly flexibility.

The 45-degree angle is a decisive advantage over straight fittings, reducing turbulence and head losses in your installations. The available diameter range from 20 to 110mm covers all needs, from domestic installations to high-capacity industrial networks. Compliance with EN 1452 guarantees total compatibility with the entire European PVC fitting ecosystem.

Installation and solvent welding technique

Installing the Equal Tee 45° Solvent Weld requires careful preparation to ensure a perfect seal. Begin by thoroughly cleaning the contact surfaces with a PVC-compatible degreaser. The use of a specialist PVC cement is mandatory to ensure a durable chemical bond between the components.

Allow sufficient curing time before pressurising the network - generally 24 hours for complete polymerisation. Check the perfect alignment of the pipes before bonding, as any subsequent correction will be impossible. Maintenance is limited to periodic visual inspections and cleaning of external surfaces with non-abrasive products. The UV resistance of Codital PVC allows outdoor use without premature degradation.

Expert advice and system optimisation

To maximise the efficiency of your installations, favour 45° fittings over 90° elbows wherever possible - they reduce head losses by nearly 30% and limit the risk of deposits. Pair this tee with Codital PN16 PVC pipes from the same range for optimal technical consistency. Repair couplings and inspection plugs from the same series will perfectly complete your installation.

Pay attention to significant thermal variations that can create stresses - provide fixed points and expansion compensators if necessary. When using with hot fluids, check the temperature compatibility of PVC PN16. For buried networks, use sand backfill to protect the fittings from mechanical stress. Store fittings away from extreme temperatures and humidity before installation.
