Description
Stormwater PVC Plain Junction – Versatile Fitting for Stormwater Management Systems
The Stormwater PVC Plain Junction is an essential component in stormwater management systems. It allows for the creation of secure branch connections in the pipework, efficiently redirecting stormwater from one section of the system to another. Designed to handle non-pressure stormwater runoff, this junction maintains a watertight seal to preserve system integrity, ensuring optimal flow of rainwater and groundwater.
Whether used in residential, commercial, or infrastructure projects, the Stormwater PVC Plain Junction plays a crucial role in preventing flooding and facilitating smooth water redirection. By enabling the connection of branch pipes to the main system, it ensures efficient water management across various surfaces, including roads, rooftops, and driveways.
What is a Stormwater Plain Junction?
A plain junction serves as a connection point where multiple pipes join the main stormwater drainage line. This fitting ensures a smooth transition and consistent flow by securely connecting pipes, minimizing turbulence. It provides a simple yet reliable solution for branching pipes while maintaining efficient stormwater movement.
Y-Junctions and Tee-Junctions for Stormwater Systems
For different applications, Y-Junctions and Tee-Junctions offer specific advantages. Y-Junctions, designed at a 45-degree angle, facilitate smooth water flow and are ideal for systems requiring steady drainage. Tee-Junctions, also known as 88-degree junctions, allow for right-angle connections, particularly useful in space-constrained installations where compact fittings are needed.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Efficient Branching: Redirects water flow through multiple pipes, maintaining consistent drainage performance.
- Flexible Junction Options: Available in both Y-Junctions (45-degree) for smoother transitions and Tee-Junctions (88-degree) for right-angle connections.
- Corrosion-Resistant PVC: Manufactured from high-quality PVC-U, providing resistance to wear, corrosion, and harsh environmental conditions.
- Watertight Seal: Guarantees a secure fit that prevents leaks, ensuring the stormwater system remains efficient and reliable over time.
Applications:
- Stormwater Management Systems: Perfect for handling stormwater runoff in residential, commercial, and infrastructure drainage projects.
- Rainwater Redirection: Ideal for managing water from rooftops, roads, and driveways, directing it efficiently into stormwater systems.
- Above-Ground and Below-Ground Installations: Suitable for both above-ground and below-ground installations, ensuring flexibility in stormwater system designs.

Stormwater vs. DWV Pipes
While Stormwater and DWV (Drain, Waste, and Vent) pipes can be used interchangeably in some situations, stormwater pipes are optimized for managing large volumes of rainwater. DWV pipes are generally designed for heavier loads with higher stiffness ratings (SN ratings), making them more suited for waste management. Stormwater pipes, however, are specifically engineered for rapid water drainage, making them ideal for outdoor applications.
