Qwik Tees And Elbows
for in-wall or other limited space connections
Qwik Tees And Elbows
let you connect all common household drain, waste and
vent pipes quickly and easily without using special tools
or fittings. Because they're exceptionally flexible and
extra long, they're the ideal replacement for fittings cut
out at the joint during alteration or repair. The
connectors are easily installed by tightening the
stainless steel clamps. Made from flexible PVC, Quik-
Tees and Qwik-Elbows come in four sizes (1-1/2", 2",
3" and 4") and fit all common household pipes
including cast iron, steel, plastic, copper and lead.
Reducing sizes are made with separately supplied
bushings.
To Repair Or Replace A Plastic Ell
or Tee
To repair this installed rigid elbow it is first necessary
to cut out the elbow. After cutting, the portion of pipe
that was welded into each socket is lost, and now a
regular schedule 40 fitting can no longer be used in
replacement unless the pipes are extended back to
normal position. Also, the pipes are usually in a fixed
position, making it difficult or impossible to get the
necessary room required to solvent weld a new joint.
The Qwik Elbows and Qwik Tees, however, are
engineered with extra length and flexibility to
compensate for the shortened pipes.
Installation Instructions
1. To remove existing elbow or tee, cut pipe at joints as
shown.
2. Slip Pipe into fitting socket.
3. Securely tighten stainless steel bands. (60" lbs.
torque.)
4. Support pipe on all sides of connection to keep
weight off fitting.
5. Test for leaks before concealing.
Note: Not recommended for underground connections.
For drain, waste, and vent use only. In-wall pipe should
be supported. Do not use in pressure applications.
Tees and elbows adapt to other pipe sizes with Qwik
