Reasonable price/quality, needs work

Sturdy construction at an affordable price The only problem is that the excess plastic/flash has not been removed from the injection molding process (see photo). I removed it with a jigsaw and file. Make sure you check the outside of the 4 inch legs. In my case, the remnants of the ejector pins would likely have cut the tubing if I hadn't filed them flush.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Secret

Easy setup for dust extraction

Some people have said that they are either bigger or smaller than the tubes they use for their systems, but they easily adjust to size with tape. I use 6" white PVC and they are the same size so I just made a grommet and then glued it all works fine. Another option is to use it on the flared ends and then insert it straight in It doesn't matter anyway, and they are very important.

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Only available in white

Another tool in the fight against dust.

If you are attempting to use this tee with Schedule 40 PVC pipe (which is *not* the same size as DWV pipe), you should use a 6" flexible coupling - it's child's play. I used this Fernco device (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001AU6S8C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and it didn't require any additional fiddling to get a snug fit. , you can easily adjust the orientation if necessary.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Not sure

It works out. With some work

You need "volume" for this setting to work properly. Please note that my system goes from 8" to 6" for this adjustment. Also note that this fitting inserts into a 6 inch tee; Penetration is approximately 1 1/2 inches. Now to get this faucet working. 6" finish until it goes into the tee. When I reached 1 1/2" penetration I switched to 120 grit to finish it off. I could have glued this in place but I made my choice to use duct tape instead because eventually I will be moving to a bigger shop A: I
