Standard 3 Inch Gutter Tee, PVC Rainwater Junction

3 Inch Gutter Junction

The Standard 3 Inch Gutter Tee, PVC Rainwater Junction provides a robust solution for managing high-volume roof runoff in residential and commercial drainage systems. This unplasticized polyvinyl chloride fitting ensures a leak-proof connection when merging two downpipe lines or creating a branch in a rainwater harvesting circuit. It is engineered to withstand the high UV exposure common in Kenyan climates without becoming brittle or cracking over time.

Built for the Job

Plumbers and roofing contractors use this component to navigate complex rooflines where multiple gutter runs must converge into a single vertical downpipe. The internal bore is manufactured to be exceptionally smooth, which minimizes the risk of leaf litter or silt accumulation that typically causes blockages in drainage systems. Its lightweight nature allows for rapid overhead installation while maintaining the structural integrity required to support the weight of water during heavy tropical downpours.

• Connecting horizontal gutter outlets to a centralized vertical discharge pipe.

• Integrating overflow bypass lines into existing rainwater harvesting tank feeds.

• Branching drainage runs around architectural obstacles or structural columns.

Product Highlights

High-Impact uPVC Construction

The material thickness is optimized to resist physical damage from ladder placement or accidental site impacts during construction.

Precision Molded Geometry

• Deep sockets for increased solvent weld surface area and joint strength.
• Uniform wall thickness to prevent pressure points and thermal stress fractures.

Technical Specifications

What’s Included

• 1 x 3-Inch PVC Equal Gutter Tee Fitting

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Ensure all pipe ends are de-burred and cleaned with a specialized PVC primer before applying solvent cement to this connector.

• Verify that the support brackets are positioned within 300mm of the junction to prevent sagging when the system is under full hydraulic load.

• This plumbing item is compatible with standard SABS or KEBS regulated 3-inch piping commonly found in local hardware inventory.
