The McAlpine V1M Multifit Swept Tee 1 1/2" is a versatile plumbing fitting designed to create a smooth three-way junction in waste, soil, or drainpipe systems. It features a “swept” (curved) branch that helps improve flow characteristics and reduce blockages compared with standard sharp-angled tees.

Function & Purpose

This swept tee allows you to connect three lengths of pipe together: typically two in a straight line and one branch at an angle. The swept branch provides a gentler change of direction for waste flow, which helps minimise turbulence and supports better drainage performance. It is often used where a branch from a main soil or waste pipe needs to be connected without restricting flow or increasing the risk of blockages.

Compatibility

The fitting is sized for 1 1/2" pipework, making it suitable for common domestic waste and soil applications. It fits standard 1 1/2" drainage pipes found in bathrooms, kitchens, utility rooms, and other areas where waste water from basins, sinks, or appliances is routed into the main soil or waste network.

Design & Build Quality

As part of McAlpine’s V1M multifit range, this swept tee is manufactured for reliable performance and easy installation. The swept design promotes improved flow characteristics, and the fitting body is typically made from durable plastic suitable for waste water applications. The multifit connections allow quick, secure joins without complex tools or solvents.

Ideal Applications

The 1 1/2" McAlpine V1M Multifit Swept Tee is ideal for use in domestic drainage and waste systems where a branch connection is required off a main horizontal or vertical pipe run. It is commonly employed when connecting sink, basin, shower, or appliance waste lines into a soil or drain stack, especially where a smoother flow transition is beneficial.
