Sioux Chief PVC Slip-Joint Waste Tee Fitting
The Sioux Chief PVC Slip-Joint Waste Tee Fitting is a rough-in drain-waste-vent (DWV) fitting built for branching a 1-1/2" PVC waste line into a fixture, cleanout, or vent connection behind the wall or under the floor. Molded from solid PVC and finished with slip (hub) ends on all three openings, it is sized to accept 1-1/2" PVC pipe for a solvent-welded joint at each connection point. As a standard tee pattern, it lets a plumber or contractor add a branch to an existing waste line without reworking the whole run, making it a common stock item for both new construction rough-in and drain-line repair work. Because it ships as a bare PVC body with no threaded or mechanical joints, installation is limited to standard PVC solvent-cementing procedures at each hub.
Key Features
- Trade Size: Sized for 1-1/2" PVC pipe, a common branch size for lavatory, tub, and general fixture drain connections.
- Durable PVC Construction: Solid PVC body resists the corrosion and internal scale buildup that can affect metal drain fittings over time.
- Slip (Solvent-Weld) Connections: All three openings are slip-style hubs sized for a solvent-welded joint with 1-1/2" PVC pipe on each end, run and branch alike.
- Standard Tee Configuration: A straight run-and-branch tee pattern for adding a fixture, cleanout, or vent connection into an existing 1-1/2" PVC waste line.
- Rough-In Ready: Sized and configured for behind-the-wall or under-floor installation as part of a larger DWV branch or fixture drain assembly.
- Lightweight PVC Body: Easier to handle, cut in, and position on the job than a comparable cast iron or galvanized steel tee.

Sioux Chief P9185 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size pipe does the Sioux Chief P9185 waste tee take?
The P9185 waste tee is sized for 1-1/2 inch PVC pipe at all three openings, run and branch alike. That is the usual branch size for lavatory, tub, and general fixture drains, so it drops straight into a 1-1/2 inch waste line without an adapter.
2) Are the ends on this PVC waste tee slip hubs or threaded?
All three ends are slip (hub) style, meant for solvent cement. There are no threads and no mechanical nuts on the body, so you cut, dry-fit, prime, and cement each hub to 1-1/2 inch PVC pipe. If you need a threaded or compression transition, that has to come from a separate adapter fitting.
3) Can I use this tee to add a branch to an existing 1-1/2 inch PVC drain line?
That is what the tee is for. Cut the existing 1-1/2 inch PVC run, cement the tee into the line, and you have a branch for a fixture drain, a cleanout, or a vent connection without reworking the whole run. Both the run and the branch are the same 1-1/2 inch hub size.
4) Is a PVC waste tee a good replacement for a cast iron or galvanized branch fitting?
For drain-waste-vent work it is the common swap. The PVC body resists the corrosion and internal scale that build up in metal drain fittings, and it is lighter to handle and position in a wall or crawlspace than a cast iron or galvanized steel tee. The catch is the joint: you cannot cement PVC to metal pipe directly, so the connection back into any remaining metal line needs an appropriate transition coupling.
5) Will this tee work for a DWV vent connection and not just waste?
Yes, the P9185 is a DWV pattern fitting and the branch is used for fixture drain, cleanout, or vent connections. It is a drainage fitting, not a pressure fitting, so keep it on gravity DWV piping rather than supply lines.
6) Do I need anything else besides the tee to make the connection?
The tee ships as a bare PVC body with nothing in the box but the fitting. You supply the 1-1/2 inch PVC pipe, PVC primer, and solvent cement. No gaskets, nuts, or washers are involved because there are no mechanical joints on it.
7) Is this fitting suitable for behind-the-wall or under-floor rough-in?
It is configured for exactly that, as part of a larger DWV branch or fixture drain assembly behind the wall or under the floor. Solvent-welded hubs mean there is no mechanical joint to loosen in a concealed location, which is why contractors stock it for both new construction rough-in and remodel drain repairs.
8) What is the Sioux Chief part number for this 1-1/2 inch PVC waste tee?
Order it as Sioux Chief P9185. One model covers the fitting, with 1-1/2 inch slip hubs on all three openings, so there is no handing, size, or end-configuration choice to make.
