    Sani-tee installed backwards
    A friend put a 4" sani-tee in backwards. A 2" drain from the tub and sink comes into it. It's going to be hard to get to to turn around. Could I leave it the way it is? The 2" line drops in from the top with a 90 elbow.

    Correct position of San Tee will assure proper flow. Yes, it will work, at least for time being, but eventually it will inhibit flow and you will have to deal with it. Also, if you insert snake into to pipe to clean it, it will be directed upward, instead of down the pipe, accomplishing nothing.

    If it was my house, I would fix it. If you have limited space to work in, you can always use shielded couplings, or Flex-Seal couplings to make all connections. It is a 15 minute job.

    Hope that helps

    Back to you

Sanitary Tee Vs and Tee w/ longer sweep [ 2 Answers ]

It seems obvious, but I wonder what the logic is behind the use of a short radius elbow or sanitary tee vs one of the long sweep elbows or tees in a sewer rough in. Is it only for lines w/ solids or large volumes in laterals or drains? Or are the longer sweeps more for vertical stack...
