68mm Boss or Tee

[nish75]

Hello again guys

I am diverting a 68mm rainwater downpipe to another 68mm one because of a patio.
I am using a 50mm waterpipe to connect the two because of space restriction.

On one end I put a 90 bend, a 68mm to 50mm reducer and connect the 50mm pipe. Now on the other end I need either a 68mm boss or a 90 degrees Tee to make the connection. However, I can't find any of these anywhere. All the Boss are 110mm and the Tees are 62.8 degrees not 90 degrees.

Any ideas on how to get these products or how to do the connection would be appreciated.

Many thanks and all the best

Nish

Would a 112 degree bend into the T branch with a 90 degree bend in the top do the job ?

Not sure such a fitting exists in the rainwater range. If you cannot use the angle of tee available, I can only suggest fitting a hopper, and discharging both pipes into that.

I'm also a bit concerned about reducing from 68 to 50mm, that is often asking for trouble, as detritus will collect at the restriction, blocking the pipe eventually.

Brilliant idea, thanks. the branch and 112 bend will work.

Good observation about the reducer and clogging, will think about it.

Wasn't Detritus a Roman bin man ?

He was until Recyclus came and ousted him.
