FloPlast Universal Compression Chrome Style Tee – CW22 32mm

To branch a visible 32mm basin waste without spoiling the look, use the FloPlast universal Compression chrome style tee. It is the CW22, a chrome style tee with a Compression nut and seal on each of its three ends.

Jobs for the FloPlast universal Compression chrome style tee

Use it to join two basins into one waste in a cloakroom, or to take a second connection off an exposed run. The chrome style finish matches chrome traps and pipe, so the junction does not stand out.

Plan the layout so both branches fall towards the outlet. Cut each pipe square and deburr it. Fit nut and seal, push the pipe in fully and tighten by hand, then a little more with a cloth over the nut.

Because the joints are Compression, the tee can be undone later for cleaning or alterations.

Basin wastes that are long or steep can pull water from the trap, so keep the runs short. Support the tee with chrome clips either side.

Common Questions

How do I fit a compression waste tee like the CW22? Cut the waste pipe square and clean off any burrs, slide the nut and seal ring onto the pipe, then push it into the socket and tighten the nut by hand.

What waste pipe does the CW22 tee fit? It’s for 32mm (1 1/4″) plastic waste pipe. If you’re working in 40mm, the CW23 is the one you want.

What is this compression tee used for? It joins a second basin waste branch into an exposed 32mm run, with a chrome style finish so it looks tidy on show. It handles continuous discharge up to about 70°C to 75°C.

Are compression waste fittings permanent? No, the nut can be undone by hand, which is handy where you might need to get at the waste later, such as under a sink or basin.

Can you reuse compression waste fittings? Usually, yes. Undo the nut, check the seal ring is clean and undamaged, then push the pipe back in and tighten by hand; swap the seal if it’s split or squashed out of shape.

What is the FloPlast CW22 made of? It’s polypropylene, made to BS EN 1451-1, with a chrome style look for pipework that’s on show.
