Product specification

Why side outlets?
- Limited vertical space
- In some construction situations there may be obstructions or limited space beneath the floor, making a vertical outlet impossible. A side outlet allows for horizontal pipe connections.
- Specific plumbing configurations
- Side outlets can simplify plumbing layouts in certain applications, especially retrofit projects.
- Shallow installations
- They are very helpful in shallow installations where a traditional vertical drain would not fit.
