Keeney 54sn Branch Tailpiece 8 in Slip-joint Brass Chrome

Product Description

The KEENEY 54sn is a branch tailpiece designed for drain connection in sink plumbing assemblies. Constructed from 22-gauge brass with a satin polished chrome finish, this tailpiece features a 3/4-inch branch outlet (7/8-inch OD) that connects to a rubber hose or a 3/4-inch sweat connection. The slip-joint inlet measures 1-1/2 inches and the overall length is 8 inches. Plumbers install this fitting when configuring a P-trap drain assembly that requires a branch outlet, typically for a dishwasher drain or secondary fixture connection at the sink drain line.

This branch tailpiece is suited for residential sink drain applications, including kitchen sinks where a branch outlet is needed for a dishwasher discharge hose or similar connection. The slip-joint design allows for tool-free hand-tightening adjustments during rough-in and alignment, simplifying installation in tight under-sink spaces. The 8-inch length accommodates standard cabinet depths and drain stack offsets. The chrome-plated brass construction resists corrosion in wet drain environments.

Installation Notes

A licensed plumber or qualified installer should shut off the water supply and clear standing water from the drain assembly before servicing. Slip-joint connections require a nylon compression washer at the joint for a leak-free seal — do not overtighten the slip-joint nut as this can crack the nut or distort the washer. Ensure the branch outlet is routed with a downward slope toward the rubber hose connection to promote proper drainage. Local plumbing codes based on the IPC or UPC may apply to drain assembly configurations.
