SWR Double Tee

Description

What makes a Double Tee different?

The SWR Double Tee is a specialized PVC SWR fitting that allows two branch connections on opposite sides of a main pipe, forming a “T on both sides.” Unlike a standard tee, which supports a single branch, this fitting is used when two outlets need to connect at the same level, making it highly useful in space-constrained plumbing systems in Bangalore.

Where it is actually used (real scenarios)

In practical plumbing work across Bangalore, this fitting is commonly used in:

• Back-to-back bathroom connections in apartments
• Dual wash basin or sink outlets
• Commercial wash areas
• Utility drainage lines in buildings

It helps reduce the need for multiple fittings, making installations cleaner and more efficient.

Common names in the market

You may hear different names when sourcing this product:

• PVC Double T
• Double Tee PVC Fitting
• SWR Double Tee
• Double Branch Tee
• PVC Double T Connector

These variations are important for SEO and local supplier searches in Bangalore.

Why plumbers choose this fitting

• Saves space by combining two connections in one
• Reduces joint count, lowering leakage risk
• Simplifies pipeline layout
• Suitable for parallel drainage connections

However, it is generally used in low to moderate flow lines, as high-flow systems prefer Y-type fittings for smoother flow.

Technical overview

• Material: PVC/uPVC (SWR grade)
• Available sizes: Typically 75mm, 90mm, 110mm
• Joint types: Solvent weld (pasted) or rubber ring
• Designed for: Soil, waste, and rainwater systems

Important usage insight

While the PVC double tee fitting is efficient, it is best used in horizontal or low-pressure drainage systems. For vertical stacks or heavy flow, fittings like double Y are often preferred to avoid flow resistance.
