McAlpine V33T Low-Level Toilet Overflow to Flush Pipe Connector Tee

Features

The McAlpine V33T is a clever solution for managing toilet cistern overflows without the need for unsightly external pipework. Designed specifically for low-level toilet systems, this connector tee allows you to direct overflow water safely into the flush pipe rather than through walls or floors. It screws easily onto standard 1.5″ BSP syphon threads. The bottom features a compression fitting for your flush pipe, while the side compression fitting securely accepts your cistern’s overflow pipe.

• Internal Overflow Management: Prevents the need to run external overflow pipes through walls, keeping your bathroom neat.
• Easy Installation: Simply screw the top onto any standard 1.5″ BSP syphon thread.
• Secure Connections: Features reliable compression fittings for both the flush pipe and the external overflow pipe.
• Low-Level Compatibility: Specifically engineered for low-level toilet cistern systems.

Details

Running an external overflow pipe is often visually intrusive and requires drilling through exterior walls or floors. Furthermore, finding a way to integrate an overflow into a low-level setup without a messy pipe run can be challenging for both installers and homeowners.

The McAlpine V33T solves this by rerouting the overflow internally. By directing excess water safely into the toilet pan, it eliminates the need for external plumbing altogether. This maintains the clean look of your bathroom while ensuring that any potential overflow is managed discreetly. It is an ideal, professional-grade fix for low-level systems, provided it is not used with high-level cisterns where it would interfere with flushing performance.
