Plumb Shop 453-381 Center Outlet Tee Tailpiece Drain

Product Description

The PLUMB SHOP DIV BRASSCRAFT 453-381 is a white plastic baffled center outlet tee tailpiece designed for lavatory and kitchen drain applications. It connects 1-1/4 inch or 1-1/2 inch OD tube slip joint inlets to a 1-1/2 inch OD tube outlet, making it suitable for dual-basin drain configurations where a single P-trap serves two drain sources. The baffled tee design helps maintain proper flow separation between the two inlets. Nuts and washers are included for a complete slip-joint assembly. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers and experienced DIYers during sink rough-in or drain repair work.

This center outlet tee tailpiece is used in residential lavatory and kitchen sink drain assemblies where two drain inlets must feed a single trap arm. Common applications include double-bowl kitchen sinks and side-by-side lavatory installations. The slip-joint connections allow for tool-free hand-tightening during fitting and adjustment before final snugging. The white plastic construction resists corrosion and is compatible with standard residential drain line configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified tradesperson in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Before beginning work, shut off the water supply and clear the drain line of standing water. Hand-tighten slip-joint nuts first to verify alignment before final tightening to avoid cross-threading or warping the plastic fittings. Do not overtighten slip-joint nuts on plastic fittings, as this can crack the fitting body or distort the washer seat.
